The start of a new journey,

​

Nice to meet you! 

Here's a short introduction: we are an organization with heart and soul for internationals living in Tilburg. In 2018 we opened our doors as response to Tilburg’s rapid internationalization. Ever since, we are fully committed to improve the living conditions of international residents by reducing the language barrier, the large distance to the job market and the prevailing loneliness among this group, while simultaneously increasing knowledge (sharing reliable information) and well-being.

​

Our ultimate goal is for international residents to feel at home. Would you like to learn more or would you like to make a positive impact together? Please do reach out! Want to know more? Read further below.

Let's meet up! 
 

Through our own experiences, we learned the importance of connecting to the city one lives in, especially when you live abroad. Tilburg is often referred to as a 'love on second sight'. We'd love to show you the hidden gems of the city and its blunt but friendly people.

We often organize fun events, such as our weekly dinners, spontaneous get-togethers, amazing English stand-up comedy nights, expat cinema screenings with English subtitles, game nights, museum trips, and drinks all over town. No need to be alone, and more than enough chances to sparkle new connections.

​

So don't be shy and come meet us!
