Organize an Expat blog meet-up!

Julien

Hi all,

Should you want to organize a gathering with the other members, in your town, we would be pleased to help :).

It is indeed a great way to meet new people, isn't it?

If you would like to plan a get-together, do not hesitate to contact me, or post a message on this thread: we will do our best to inform the other members in your town and to make your meet-up a success!

Have a nice day,

Julien

Hello,

Defo interested if something is organised in Brussels.
Difficult in the week, would rather a Friday or Sat... but flexible :) Maybe we could in September ?

laurawr

Hi all!
Definitely keen for sometime in September, weekend works best for me if it's in Brussels. :)

tinysunflower

hi All,

Im Leila, :) new in Belgium and  i just arrived a couple of weeks ago,
same situation as everybody here,  i need friends :sosad:

i was reading all the threads in forum and a lot  of people wants to have a meet up
but i think nobody is organizing it..

i came up to this idea about creating a group or organization on Facebook for meet ups..
i don't promote this site or something but its just for organizing meet ups..  ;)
i know that not everybody is logged in on this site but I'm sure everybody can be log in on Facebook..


feel free to go on that page and maybe we can gather all the expats in Antwerp
and we can all talk, meet and greet there..
. :) and hope someday to see all of you :)

hugs and kiss,
Leila

amyroder

Just found this topic now...
Gathering???? Sounds good, I am super excited, wud be great meeting people from any corner of Belgium..but I guess super difficult to arrange kind of those thing (hope someone/any group cud do this). I live in Achel, doesn't mind if i need to come to Antwerp, Brussel, Hasselt, Ghent, Genk, etc. Anyway......I AM IN.

aneesh

12th of December at "La corbeau" ? sounds like a plan.

Who all are in ? I can see Leila44 and Blueocean285 already are in..

aneesh

I created a doodle :)

Please go ahead and mark your availability.

aneesh

Only one response so far.. SO, I think this is not happening :)

amyroder

Sorry, I won't be able to make it.  Brussels is quite the drive and I am not much of a party person.  If someone decides to organize an outing like coffee, dinner or sightseeing, I'm interested.  Thanks

aneesh

I am not a party person too.. I prefer evening meetups (dinner / xmas market or so). But yes, from Antwerp to Bru is quite a drive.. :(

amyroder

Coming from Canada, it is not the distance that is the issue but more the traffic :(

Also, with the kids, it means if I go out late, I still have to get up early lol

aneesh

Hehe. same situation with me, although it is only one kid :)

blueocean285

If I may choose...I wud prefer to have a meeting in Antwerp or maybe Hasselt, traffic in brussel drive me creyzihhh  :huh:
So guys, why don't we make an another planning to meet, lunch or coffee or maybe dinner...let says on January, plenty time to grab more people also...anyone agree???  :/

aneesh

Planning is easy :) execution is not.. hehe..

blueocean285

I mean it...let's make a plan...I need a team..c mon guys...

amyroder

Antwerp would be easiest for me... Early to mid January is fine.

blueocean285

Antwerp is ok for me, 17 or 24 january?!
Where?? U guys decide...i dont know antwerp so good...so let me know

amyroder

17th works for me. I'm out of town on the 24th.

Depends what we want to do. I can suggest good places for lunch, snacks, dinner etc. I need food preferences and price range.

blueocean285
