Hello and welcome to EasyExpat.com!

This topic is specifically dedicated to new comers in Berlin. We invite you to introduce yourself here!

Why have you come here? Is it for internship? Studies? A job? Or simply in order to discover new lands?

If you have already secured a job, how did you find it? How long do you think you will stay in Berlin?

How was your move? How did you settle into your new city? What was the easiest thing / the most difficult to adapt to?

The guide to Berlin is the perfect resource to give you an overview of life abroad. Check it out and ask questions here on the forum. Thanks in advance for your answers and here’s to a good discussion!

 

Hello and welcome to Berlin! There is a vibrant expat community here in Berlin and I am sure you will have no problem meeting people. You can arrange a meet-up with other expats on Expat Meet-ups in Berlin thread. I can also recommend getting on Twitter as the expat community in Berlin is very active. You can find my professional expat account at @BlogExpat, and my personal account where I talk about meet-ups etc at @texkourgan. I also highly recommend connecting with expat blogs in Berlin.

I can recommend the new food market meet-up in Kreuzberg called Bite Club (http://biteclub.de/). We went last Friday and it was a very festive atmosphere with lots of great people milling about. Also - on September 15th some friends and I are arranging a Mexican potluck in Tempelhof if you are interested. There are no shortage of events here!

You can also fill in the forum with other questions and information you have found. Share places you like to go, how you found housing etc. Enjoy the city!

 

Hi Neil! I went to one of your comedy events a bit ago and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend The Fishbowl for English language comedy in Berlin. New members should check out his event listings here: the-fish-bowl-live-music-and-english-comedy-t30910.html
