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.

Embark on a New Life in Orange County
With a variety of multinational corporations including automotive, technology, and electronics giants, Orange County has a strong business center. However, retail, tourism, and the service industry are also thriving sectors with large shopping malls and major tourist attractions; Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Newport Beach are just some of the highlights that expats can visit too. Known as "Surf City USA", active residents can join in with beach sports and there's a choice of cultural experiences to enjoy too, such as the City of Orange old town, which maintains its 1950s feel.
