When first moving to Washington, D.C., I didn't know many people outside of the office. InterNations has changed that with some exciting events.
Living in Bridgeport
Bridgeport, or the Park city as it's lovingly referred to by the locals, is a great place to set up a new life as an expatriate abroad. Located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the city is the 48th largest in the United States, with an estimated population of more than 144,000 people. When you first move to the area, it can be a good idea to find out what's on offer to expats living in Bridgeport. Life in Bridgeport can be a lot of fun, and to find out what's available, you should get your bearings by exploring the surrounding area. The Downtown Cabaret Theatre, for example, can be a good place to start, as can the internationally famous Discovery Museum. InterNations is a website used by thousands of expatriates throughout the world, a lot of which are offering guidance for living in places like Bridgeport.

Moving to Bridgeport
If you're considering moving to Bridgeport, or like many of the InterNations community you have a desire to explore on an international scale, then the InterNations website is the place to get information in regards to your relocation. You might already be an expat in Bridgeport, and if that is the case, then the site has articles and resources that will inform you about life abroad. The forums and discussion threads will give you hints and tips to make your move as pleasant and stress-free as possible. You can browse the forums to read about other expatriates' experiences, or you can get in touch with someone on a one-on-one basis to work out the costs and potential struggle that you might come across in your new city. If you just need somebody to speak with, to vent any frustrations, or get clear information on a certain topic, then the private message system can get you in touch with similar global minds.
Working in Bridgeport
When you move to a new city it can be very confusing to know where to turn in regards to getting a new job. You have to worry about how much income you'll be getting, what sort of household you'll be living in, what apartments are available, and the opportunities you'll be presented with. You might already be working in Bridgeport because an employer has sent you over, and you're guaranteed a job, but that doesn't mean you don't need a platform to reach out to, a forum that can help you to understand the implications of your move abroad, and a place that lets you communicate with other expatriates living abroad. InterNations’ Expat Magazine has a collection of articles that can help any expats living in Bridgeport or any other expat hub, with topics ranging from discussions on breaking down cultural barriers and understanding business etiquette on an international level, and how to make sure you have the correct documentation, including visas and work permits.
