51ԹϺ— A Community for American Expats in Birmingham

Hello to all Americans in Birmingham! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Birmingham? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Birmingham which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for stuffed turkey?

Although Birmingham has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, 51ԹϺis here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the 51ԹϺcommunity. Within our international network in Birmingham, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

I wish I'd found 51ԹϺsooner: It would have made my first few month as an expat in London much less overwhelming.

Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.

Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our 51ԹϺGroups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests.

For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
