My favorite part about InterNations? The great network and friends that I've made among expats all around the globe!
Living in Benghazi
Known as 'The Port City on the Mediterranean', Benghazi is the second largest city in Libya, after the country's capital Tripoli. As the nickname suggests, Benghazi sits on the country's northern coast, and it offers some stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, with its beautiful blue waters and sandy beaches. Living in Benghazi can be a rewarding experience, with its fair share of cultural offerings: the Roman Catholic Cathedral, which was built in the 1920s, is the largest civic building in the city, and will help you get your bearings no matter where you are, while the Al-Bosco zoological gardens gives you a place to rest, as well as somewhere to get a thrill on one of the many electronic rides. As the InterNations community grows in Benghazi, members will be able to arrange meet-ups with other expats living in Benghazi, sharing stories of what it's like to live abroad and offering help to those that are new to the area. The InterNations website has everything else you need to make your first steps in Benghazi a lot more pleasant.

Moving to Benghazi
InterNations has a wide selection of resources that are designed to make life easier for expats in Benghazi and around the globe. There are forum posts written by expats who have had similar experiences to yourself and want to share their tips and hints, and there are articles written by experienced travelers, just in case you need advice on a specific aspect of international relocation. If you want to engage in some small talk, or chat with people like yourself, then the forums have dedicated pages just for that, too. With InterNations, you'll never feel as if you're on your own, because you'll be able to meet and chat with expatriates who have made similar decisions as yourself, and have moved abroad to a new home.
Working in Benghazi
Finding a job in a new country can be tricky, and even the most confident of people can struggle breaking down some of the cultural barriers that they come across. The Expat Magazine is InterNations' publication that contains articles on every aspect of life abroad - one of the key article categories focuses around working abroad. The Expat Magazine details finding short term employment abroad, offers information on finding voluntary positions, and gives tips on setting up personal businesses from scratch. The InterNations forums furthermore give you a place to post queries about jobs in the particular area you've moved to, where an expatriate working in Benghazi just like yourself can share their experiences.
