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.

Settling into a new home is always tricky, so joining in with our busy community of expats living in Pittsburgh is a great way to make the process a little bit easier. Expats who have moved to the city from a different country will be particularly thankful for the advice on how to fit in, with issues such as local customs, tipping practice and US laws all hard to get your head around at first.

Pittsburgh is an industrial city, known in particular for its production of steel, which has earned it the nickname the Steel City. One of the United States' most livable cities according to publications including Forbes, Pittsburgh is increasingly seen as one of the key corporate cities in the west, attracting huge corporations, many of which are in the technology sector, such as Google, IBM and Apple. Pittsburgh is also home to one of the best cultural centers in the US, while architecture fanatics will find much to love in buildings such as the stunning Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh. The birthplace of Gertrude Stein, Pittsburgh also has a rich arts and literature history despite its industrial leanings.
