Expats PDX: First Gathering – Global Souls, Local Community

Have you lived or worked outside your home country? Do you feel most at home with people who think expansively, listen deeply, and live with global perspective?

Expats PDX is a new Portland OR-based group for internationally-oriented humans — whether you're a returned expat, third-culture kid, indigenous or native, immigrant or transplant from abroad, seasoned world traveler. If you've ever had to explain your identity with “It's complicated…” — this space is for you.

Our first gathering will be a warm, welcoming space where:

• We connect through stories, not small talk

• Enjoy curated conversation prompts and cultural exchange

• Co-create how often we meet and what we want this community to become

All nationalities, backgrounds, philosophies, and ages welcome. Adults, families and children are all warmly embraced.*

RSVP here to request your spot and schedule a quick intro call.We'll hold our first gathering September 7, 2025 from 4-6pm (location near PDX/ Beaverton TBA). Monthly gatherings therafter will be decided together then.

We're excited to meet you! Let’s build a vibrant community — together.

* Everyone interested will have a brief intro chat with the organizer prior to attending — to ensure we're creating a kind, nonjudgmental space built on respect and curiosity.
