Next Locals Meetup Monaco: Make friends abroad!

Making new friends abroad doesn’t happen by accident.

Starting fresh in a new city is exciting but it can also feel isolating.

That’s why we built Next Locals.

A welcoming community of internationals, expats, and open-minded locals who understand what it’s like to start over.

Our whole purpose is helping you quickly find the people you click with.

Because once you do, everything else follows naturally: friendships, shared adventures, even business opportunities.

You don’t just need another event. You need an intentional way into new circles.

That’s where Next Locals comes in.

Why join?

We host relaxed afterwork meetups every Friday, bringing together 10–25 like-minded internationals for an evening of real conversations and good vibes.

You don’t just meet once, you keep connecting until your new city feels like home.

No name tags.
No awkward intros.
No boring presentations.

Just friendly people and genuine conversations that make it easy to meet your people.

Because to truly make any place your home, you need friends and meaningful connections.

That's what makes you the next local in town :)

What to expect from your first Next Locals meetup

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your local community leader, Catherine Bastin, who makes sure everyone feels included from the start.

The atmosphere is relaxed and social. It's big enough to meet plenty of new faces and small enough for real conversations.

You’ll quickly find it easy to join conversations, share stories, and see who you really connect with.

No standing around, no awkward moments wondering who to talk to.

Just open-minded people who all came for the same reason: to meet new friends, feel at home abroad, and start building the kind of connections that make life richer.

By the end of the evening, you won’t just have had a fun night out. You’ll leave with new friendships, follow-up plans, and maybe even the start of something bigger.

That’s how you go from being abroad to becoming the next local in town.

How it works

Next Locals is simple and intentional by design.

Every Friday, we bring people living abroad together for relaxed afterwork drinks in cities around the world.

Your first meetup is free when you sign up for the trial at nextlocals.com.

Each meetup naturally attracts open-minded, curious people living abroad, so you’ll always find common ground.

We exist to make moving abroad easier and to rebuild global connection, one meetup at a time.

That's why each meetup is designed as a starting point: you quickly meet friendly people, discover who you really connect with, and from there everything else comes naturally.

Friendships, shared adventures, and even opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
