Last night I went to my second Internations monthly meet up in Sevilla. They started having them here last October. Basically it’s a way for expats (really dislike that term – but what else could we use?) to meet and share their experiences of living in a foreign land, though there are also a few Spaniards in the group.

Last night’s meet up started off early (7pm) at the Horno San Buenaventura, the idea being that people could have a coffee and snack before heading out later for a tapa. Around 9 o’clock we headed over to the Plaza Alfalfa for tapitas and more chatting at La Bodega.

I actually preferred the second location because it was easier to mingle.

But as this is still a new thing here, our fearless leader Hugo (who organises the events) has been trying out different locations, times and days of the week, which I think is great. Because you’re never going to be able to please everyone. And it’s good to mix it up a bit.

I’m not usually much of a group person, though I was a member of the AWC for awhile. This group seems a bit more lively than the AWC. First of all, it’s not just women and there are no expensive sit-down lunches to pay for. Also the Internations meets seem more casual and fun. So we shall see. I think it’s a great way to meet new people.

If you’d like to come to the next meet up in February then go to the Internations website and request an invitation. Or get in touch with me by email and I’ll send you an invitation. The more the merrier!
