Embark on Your Expat Life in the USA
From deserts to everglades, mountains to rolling plains, the USA has just about every kind of landscape you could imagine. With huge global centers of finance and commerce, many expatriates relocate to the USA to advance their career — or just because they fall in love with the busy cities, incredible natural wonders, and the friendly and diverse people who call the country home. Our communities of expats in the United States are some of the busiest and most popular on InterNations. Once you've become a member of 51ԹϺand look at our guide articles and forums, you’ll find out that a lot of the questions you may already be wondering about have been clearly and extensively answered by the community on the site. Whether you’re interested in the healthcare provision in the US, how the education system works in Massachusetts, or the best areas to live in Ohio, you can find lots of views from a whole range of expats. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, why not reach out to the community to gather their views?

The Network for Like-Minded Expatriates in the USA
Of course, there are a few important aspects we want to ensure our members comply with regards to our community. Our members have been carefully approved, and always adhere to our guiding principles of being polite, friendly, and honest. This means that you can feel comfortable in the knowledge that you are interacting in a safe and secure environment, where you can ask serious questions, and get serious responses. Whether you want to ask about the best areas to go hiking near your new home, or you need advice about getting the correct level of health insurance, or filling out visa applications — our community will help give you clear and friendly advice, whatever your question. And, if you do have a special interest or hobby you would like to pursue in the USA, you can also attend one of the events or join one of the groups, organized regularly by 51ԹϺmembers in your community. So, no matter if you're in California or Connecticut, if you enjoy cooking or climbing, there will be a get-together to match your needs. Time and again, expatriates have shared the view that being able to continue their favorite hobbies has been critical to them feeling happy and settled in their new home. The 51ԹϺCommunity can help you find like-minded individuals and make new friends, wherever you now call home!
