Our April Get-Together in Berlin took place in the impressive building of “Die Botschaft von Berlin”, a truly extraordinary club lounge, where we could enjoy the sunset on the terrace. Enjoying the mellow background music and some nice drinks, we could meet offline to share ideas, talk about our expat experiences and even watch some members excelling at tango and Greek dancing.
There was also a place set up especially for a photoshoot: There the photographer Daniel Bubeck took some lovely pictures we would like to share with you. Many thanks also to Yannis for his energy and to Alex for inviting us to gather at “The Nest of Global Minds”
We hope you all enjoyed the night, and we’ll see you soon at our next Get-Together.
– Mario Paladini, InterNations Ambassador Berlin

After some months of preparation, our team’s joint effort – especially our IT department’s hard work – has finally come to fruition. InterNations is saying good-bye to the beta version of our platform; we are now proud to present a new and improved website. Our Local Communities – which play such a vital role in our network – finally get their due, and the streamlined design makes surfing our webspace more comfortable and user-friendly.
From now on, every member’s home community has got its place in the spotlight: The latest discussions from the Local Forum, fellow members in town and upcoming events in each city are featured directly on the customized start page. Furthermore, the clear and simple layout of the new navigation bar offers quick access to all major site features and makes visiting other expat hotspots around the world even easier.
The left column on the new start page, however, is all about each individual member. We’ve introduced a Personal Corner and revamped the InterNations Wire. In this way, our members can quickly edit their profiles, share photos with their contacts, sign up for an InterNations Get-Together and much more. Never again will they miss a friend’s birthday, a comment on their forum posts or the most recent photo tags.
Last but not least, our freshly optimized Group section allows everybody to find fellow global minds with similar interests quite easily. The top-notch group platform is the perfect opportunity to share some thoughts and opinions on a variety of topics, from cultural misunderstandings over international movies to global coffee brands.
Now it’s up to the members to explore and enjoy the new „InterNations 2.0“!

Special thanks to our Local Ambassador Peter Gerber for the report about the event for taking the photos.
“Thank you Hendrik for picking a nice venue - real pity you couldn’t enjoy the friendship - we all missed you. So some 20 of us from 9 countries (the youngest 2 years old) finally made it there and had a wonderful time. The smaller than usual number offered the great opportunity for a better and closer fellowship. There was a nice blend of “regulars” as well as “new comers to the island”, with a special welcome to the Atanasoki family from Switzerland and the lovely Mehendale couple transferring from IN-HKG, among several others. Thanks again to all who braved the huge traffic jam and were able to meander their way to the venue.
Appreciation also to PICOTIN’s management for reserving a nice & cosy corner and sponsoring the “Lucky Draw” featuring a $100 worth dinner voucher! And the winner is: Ms. Tara with mobile No. XXXX3769. CONGRATULATIONS ! < Note that the name of the winner was purposely withheld, yet rest assured that neither Hendrik nor I participated and the draw was made by PICOTIN’s management.>”

Last Thursday’s gathering had our largest turnout yet. We hope that everyone who was able to attend enjoyed the red hooded “Obi One Kenobi” robes on the Rooftop Garden of 230 Fifth Penthouse Lounge, and made new friends.
We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank Silene Lim for all her hard work and efforts and wish her all the very best with her new endeavors. She will still be around, so we are not completely loosing her. If you didn’t have a chance to meet our new Ambassador, Marc Seago, there is always the possibility to do so at our next event gathering, March 19th at Ultra, details soon to follow.
Special thanks to our Local Ambassador Marc Seago for the report about the event and to Kerstin Hecker Photography for taking the photos
