Next Locals Meetup Nice: Make friends abroad!

Making new friends abroad doesn’t happen by accident.

When you move to a new city, you leave behind your circle, your routines, and your support system. It’s exciting, but it can also feel isolating.

That’s why we created Next Locals: a weekly intentional meetup designed to help you quickly meet friendly people and discover who you really connect with.

From there, everything else comes naturally: real friendships, shared adventures, and even business opportunities!

Why join?

Because sometimes, all it takes is one evening to feel like you belong again. Every Friday, 10–25 internationals gather for relaxed afterwork drinks.

No name tags, no awkward intros, no boring presentations, no pressure.

Just real conversations with like-minded people who get it!

What to expect from your first Next Locals meetup

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your local community leader, Scott Holford, 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.
