NLBorrels is “an independent, global network of Dutch expatriate professionals and entrepreneurs, dedicated to facilitating social interaction, career advancement and exchange of information of interest to the Dutch community living abroad.”

It was founded in 2001 by Sander Raaymakers, a tall, gregarious Dutch man gifted in the art of social facilitation. I have found NLBorrels events lively, and the people friendly, although inclined to nicotine addiction.
