Find the people from home, wherever you live

ZNext puts you in a room with people from your home country who live where you live now. Your country, your region, your city.

Your rooms follow you. Move to a new city and the city room changes; your country and region rooms stay as long as they still apply.

One room for every place you belong to

Open ZNext abroad and it finds where you are. You are added to three rooms for your home country: one for the country you live in, one for your region and one for your city.

Your country

Everyone from your home country living anywhere in the country you moved to.

Your region

The same state or province. Close enough to share weekends, events and advice.

Your city

The people you can actually meet: neighbours, colleagues, the next table at the café.

Only people from your countryA room is for one home country in one place. There is no room for everyone at once.

Only where you live nowZNext turns your location into a country, region and city. Your exact coordinates are never stored.

Not when you are homeIn the country you come from you have no geo rooms. They are for people abroad.

You choose your home countrySet it in your profile. You can change it twice, then once a week.
