What I like about DC the most: The Washington, DC area is such a diverse place… it is truly a melting pot of many cultures. DC is a place where you can feel like you’re living the city lifestyle without the congestion and urban sprawl of the northeast corridor. A high percentage of people here are well-educated, you never know who you are going to meet. The clean metro system is definitely a bonus, and our nation’s great monuments are always a sight to see.

What I love about DC most:I Love the diversity and opportunities in the Nations Capitol. Everyone no matter where they are from in the world wants to visit DC to see where decisions are made that effect the world. We have the POTUS, Senate, Congress and Headquarters of every major government agency based here which makes this city the hub of the world. Every single day there are fundraisers, events, socials, and news being made here. You can be on top of the world one day here and on the bottom within the same day. DC will embrace you as one of it’s own for it’s a forgiving city where everyone has something to offer. You can visit historic places, embassy’s, museums and meet the policy makers in a small local venue all in the same day.
