OUR WHY

Nobody should do life alone, you just need to find your community.

Life can be exciting. It can also be incredibly lonely.

 

Whether you’ve moved to a new country, changed careers, become a parent, started university, retired, or simply grown apart from old friendships, finding meaningful connections isn’t always easy.

 

GlobalKin was inspired by our own journey to find community and belonging, and built to make that journey easier for others.

Why I created GlobalKin

Carla, Founder of GlobalKin

Having lived in multiple countries, I know what it feels like to be the “new person” — navigating a new city, missing familiar faces, and the exhausting struggle of trying to meet people and find your community.

I realised this feeling isn’t limited to moving abroad. I experienced it as a local too. Whether you’re moving cities, entering a new stage of life, or simply finding your friendships changing, meaningful connection isn’t always easy to find. Loneliness can affect anyone, no matter who you are or where they call home.

I created GlobalKin with one simple goal: to make finding community easier.

A place where locals, newcomers, expats and everyone in between can discover communities, join activities and build meaningful connections that help them feel more home — wherever they are.
