Inside InterNations
All InterNations team members are friendly, but some are definitely friendlier and fluffier than the rest! Senior Content & Communications Manager Elena, a self-declared dog person, introduces the four-legged members of our staff.

The interns’ project has been created for us to be more courageous and to take more responsibility.”
During their journey at InterNations, interns have the chance to take part in at least one interns’ project and make an impact on the company. Being an intern myself, I have been working on a charity program recently, and I would like to tell you in more depth what the interns’ project in general — and our most recent one in particular — is all about.
[Read more…] about Behind the Scenes: The Interns’ ProjectThe company behind InterNations, the world’s biggest global expat community, is sometimes mistaken for a US American business or even for a multinational corporation with a branch office in every country. While the latter might be an aspirational goal to strive for, we’re not quite there yet.
On our website and our app, we do feature 420 online communities around the world. In most of these cities, we also offer our members the opportunity to meet in person, thanks to our InterNations Ambassadors and Consuls. As the face of InterNations on a local level, these particular members dedicate their time on a voluntary basis, organizing official events and activities to bring expats and global minds from Abu Dhabi to Zurich together.
In fact, InterNations — the company, not the community — was originally “made in Germany”, and most employees are still based there. However, we now have offices in four European cities. Find out more about the InterNations locations here!
We’ve asked Lars, our CTO, a few questions about how he remembers the first hackathon we ever hosted. Let’s see if there’ll be another one soon!
Last Thursday, our team members Theresa (Head of Business Solutions) and Christa (Team Lead Human Resources) started their working day in a most unusual manner: Together with the Monteverdi Choir Hamburg and 1,500 other people, they performed Beethoven’s famous “Ode to Joy” in the “Elphi”, Hamburg’s spectacular new concert hall.
