The United States
Why do people move to United States?
When we asked people why foreigners move to United States, they responded...
"With a population of close to 40,000, Annapolis, Maryland is a bustling city on the Chesapeake Bay that is conveniently located about an hour west of D.C. and an hour south of Baltimore. Annapolis is home to the U.S. Naval Academy and St. John's College. Downtown Annapolis is filled with restaurants, shops, old inns, a maritime museum and historical sites. The city has numerous marinas and yacht clubs. For families, Annapolis' Public Schools are well ranked plus there are a number of private schools in town," said another expat in Annapolis, US.
"The United States offers expats a number of advantages that make it an attractive country to call home. Expats can benefit from the United States' strong economy, excellent job opportunities and world-class educational institutions. American culture is widely celebrated, offering a diverse range of experiences and activities to newcomers. Additionally, the U.S. is home to many beautiful areas, cities and landscapes, some of which are widely known around the world. Finally, expats benefit from the support and resources available to them through the U.S.'s numerous networking and support groups as well as its globally recognized healthcare system," wrote a member who made the move to United States.
