Three million people. That’s more than the population of Hawaii, or Jamaica, or Iceland.
That’s how many members InterNations now has in 390 communities around the world.
Three million is amazing and something we want to celebrate! But while the number itself surely sounds impressive, at InterNations it’s not always about how many people you can connect with, but rather the individual relationships themselves.
Sometimes, all it takes is one — the one friend who invited you to join the book club when you knew no one, the one friend who helped you to fill out a rental application and cheered for you when you finally found a great apartment, the one friend who will pick up your kids from school when you’re sick or walks your dog when you’re away! We all have that friend who has made a difference, and we’ll never forget, no matter where in the world we live.
This is what we want to celebrate! Tell us who your “one in three million” InterNations friend is and why they are so special! Did you and this friend share a unique experience or help each other get through a tough time? Take the time to thank them for always being there for you!
By participating, you get the chance to win a 150 EUR hotel voucher. We’d suggest using it for a great mini-vacation with your “one in three million” friend! It doesn’t matter how you met your friend, as long as they’re also an InterNations member!

To honor the friendships among our members — friendships that cross borders, build bridges, and connect global minds — we will be celebrating InterNational Friendship Week from 27 July to 2 August 2020. Find out more about what inspired us to create this campaign and what awaits you during this week!
Making new international friends can be a highlight of the expat experience. But how do you find new friends when you live abroad? And can you even meet new people while socially distancing? Members share their stories of how attending InterNations events brought new friendships into their lives.
The year is drawing to a close and November’s arrival unofficially marks the start of the holiday season. With Diwali and Thanksgiving festivities both filling this month’s calendar, InterNations members around the world have been getting together, celebrating traditions old and new!
Looking back at all the fun and exciting activities and official events that our Consuls and Ambassadors organized last year makes us really happy. And not just us: We have collected some of our members’ feedback and stories in a video!
To celebrate reaching a major milestone, 3 million members worldwide, the team at InterNations decided to hold a competition to find out about your “one in three million” InterNations friend. See who our winner is and what they have to say about expat life and friendship.
