Hi everebody and Merry Christmas! I am 33yo, no kids, searching for a job in Finance. I have been in Brussels for a year now and looking for new friends. It is not so easy to make friendships abroad, may be there is someone out there who feels the same way or someone who has had it the same before? Please, share your experience! I am an easygoing person, a bit shy in the beginning and having an international background. I would like to meet other foreigners to exchange experience, having a drink, nice chat, doing some activities etc.

Is there anybody interested?

Hy Eline, I replied to your other post as well. I am from India and I am new to Brussels (just arrived a couple of weeks ago). I am also looking to make new friends. If you're ok we can catch up on a drink in the evening somewhere near Brussels centrum.

Hi Eline,
Can we meet up near Brussels centre ( Near the Bourse or Grand Place)? There are some nice places there where we could have a drink together.
