Expats.com is the first online resource for people living abroad that provides a truly trustworthy network for meeting friends, finding romantic partners, and making business contacts. The site is run by expatriates from around the world who have many years' experience creating burgeoning online communities of friends.
Groups of expatriates from the UK, USA, Spain and Italy have already found each other on Expats.com. They are forming their own regular book clubs, movie groups and Saturday night get-togethers.
Life abroad
The expatriate tradition has a long and venerable history, going back to ancient times, when Greek merchants established trading posts in Egypt. The romance of living abroad has also long been a theme of art and literature and, more recently, much of our culture and media is devoted to reporting on the fast-moving world of international expatriate-celebrities.
A journey that might have once taken days or weeks by train or steamship now lasts only a few hours. However, a fact that remains is that millions live in countries other than their birthplace and for a wide variety of reasons: personal, professional, and everything in between.
With more people enjoying expatriate status than ever before, Expats.com has been designed to make it extremely easy for fellow countrymen to connect in their new home or anywhere in the world.
As well as excitement and satisfaction, life immersed in another part of the world can also bring hardships. How do you find a doctor? How do you navigate through the immigration bureaucracy or the foreign-language legal system? What about getting insurance or a good deal on a car or an apartment? Simple logistical tasks conducted in an unfamiliar environment can seem baffling or even hostile.
This is particularly true for those new to expatriate life, when help with the details of everyday life or simply company or moral support from a compatriot or fellow foreigner can make all the difference.
This is why Expats.com was created.
Members can meet friends, find a romantic partner or make business contacts who live and move in the foreign world. The site is designed to help expand networks of international contacts and to make it easy to learn about the ins and outs of life abroad from those who know it best.
Take a look through the site and see where the world of expatriates build its 'home away from home'.
