Living in Waco, Texas

Living in Waco as an expat can be challenging, but once you've settled in you'll find it has a friendly and diverse mix of communities. Like much of Texas, Waco can be sweltering during the summer and this can be a little hard to acclimatize to at first, especially if you are more used to a colder climate. Waco, nicknamed "The Heart of Texas", offers a number of leisure options to expatriates, with baseball being a popular sporting pursuit. The city is also home to Cottonwood Creek, one of the best municipal golf courses in the whole of the state. One of the most visited places in the city is the Cameron Park Zoo, which features more than 300 different species of animals from around the globe. Many people who are new to Waco also enjoy a visit to the local Dr Pepper Museum. Opened in 1991, the three-story building tells visitors how one of the world's most favorite soft drinks brands began in the city and includes a gift shop and an old fashioned soda fountain.

Moving to Waco

Interstate 35 runs directly through Waco and links it to Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin, while Highway 84 heads on to Houston, meaning expats moving to Waco should have no problems getting to Waco by road. It also has two aviation hubs; the TSTC is a small airport which offers some civilian flights, but the majority of passengers use the nearby Waco Regional Airport, which operates almost 100,000 journeys each year and runs daily flights Dallas/Fort Worth International. As an expat moving to Waco, you may find life abroad a little difficult to navigate initially, but InterNations has found that most expatriates soon find their way, particularly if they link up with fellow internationals. The InterNations network has more than one million members and its forums enable expats living in Waco to directly connect with others that have made a new life for themselves in this picturesque part of the US.

Working in Waco

Located along the state's technology and manufacturing corridor, Waco is home to a number of innovative industrial companies with communications and surveillance firm L-3 being a major employer. However, people considering working in Waco may find the majority of opportunities come from public sector departments. The Providence Health Center is one of the biggest providers of work in the city, while the Baylor University and the Waco Independent School District both employ more than 2,000 people. Adapting to working in Waco will likely take some time. The city's main languages are English and Spanish (due to the large population of Mexico expats) so you may encounter some communication barriers. By signing up on InterNations and being part of this vibrant online community, you can link up with others who have made the transition and call upon their expertise. It does not matter whether you want to find out more about life as an expatriate in Waco, Texas, or the US in general, you will surely find a fellow expat on InterNations who is able to point you in the right direction.
