Living in Hampton
Hampton is a town of 137,000 in Virginia, USA, and is well known today as the location of Langley Air Force Base, the NASA Langley Research Center and also the Virginia Air and Space Center. Hampton University is also located in the city. With so many technical and educational institutions, Hampton draws many skilled workers, and expats living in Hampton will find many global minds based in the city. InterNations is a great way to connect and interact with these peers, providing forums and discussion boards to get to know like-minded people and find out about the city. The city’s technical and aeronautical expertise is reflected in its main attractions, such as the Air Power Park and Museum and the Virginia Air & Space Center. Life in ‘The Hamp,’ as it is referred to by some, isn’t just about work, though. There is a vibrant club and bar scene, with lots of live music and miles of beaches to explore.
