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.

Music and Industry in New Orleans
With one of the busiest ports in the world, New Orleans is a central hub for commerce and distribution. Other major industries include oil and petrochemical production, natural gas production, healthcare, and manufacturing, along with tourism, which contributes over 5 billion USD per year. Known as the birthplace of jazz, music-loving expats will find this passion very much alive in New Orleans today. The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Essence Music Festival, and numerous concert halls and smaller performance venues provide lively nightlife and a colorful events calendar.
