At Mater, our vision is to make the world smaller and friendlier for expats everywhere. Moving to a new country can be a challenge—culturally, socially, and logistically. Mater aims to ease that transition by providing a platform where expats can connect with each other, form meaningful relationships, and find support. Whether you're looking for friends, advice, or simply someone who understands what you're going through, Mater is here to help you thrive in your new home.
Mater was born from the personal experiences of its founders, who struggled with the sense of isolation and uncertainty that often comes with relocating to a new country. As expats themselves, they understood the importance of community and connection. What started as a small project to help connect fellow expats quickly grew into a thriving global network. Mater is now used by thousands of people in over 200 countries, making the world a smaller, more connected place for expats.
With users from over 200 nationalities, Mater lets you tap into a truly global community. Wherever you go, Mater is there to help you build a new circle of friends.
We prioritize your safety. All profiles are verified, and our platform includes privacy settings to ensure you're always in control of who you connect with.
Mater helps you find people in your area who share your interests and experiences. Whether you're looking for other expats or local friends, Mater connects you with the right people nearby.
Mater was created by expats, for expats. Our team knows what it's like to move to a new country—navigating a foreign culture, language barriers, and the challenges of starting over. That's why we built Mater: to create a community where people from all over the world can come together, find support, and make the most of their new surroundings. We’re here to make every expat’s journey a little easier and a lot more fun.
