The support network for the international community in Puglia
For many people around the world, moving to Puglia is a dream. But when the dream becomes reality, things will be much easier - and much more fun! - if you can share it with like-minded people.

Who are we?
Support network
We believe in creating a support network for everyone who, coming from abroad, has decided to live in Puglia – whether permanently, for a few weeks, or for part of each year.
Connecting with locals
We believe the international community must embrace locals with a cosmopolitan mindset – those who have lived abroad before, and those who simply enjoy making international friends.
Open, integrated, active
We believe that an open, integrated, active international community in Puglia is an added value and a force for good – a catalyst for new ideas, talent, culture, and opportunities.
