IWA is the place for expats and locals to meet, find friends, support charity, and explore Romania. We welcome women AND your accompanying husband/partner. Our members come from around the world, and from all walks of life.

Some of us are seasoned expats and diplomats, others of us are coming to a new country for the first time, or are repatriating here. We are business professionals and stay-at-home moms, artists and hikers… and more!

We have many small clubs (and are always open to new ideas) so you can find people with similar interests, or explore with us and learn something new. We offer a one month free Trial membership, so you can get to know us before you join.
