    Hey everyone!

    I'm a 21 years old student from Slovenia and I am coming over to US this summer, for work exchange experience.
    I will live there for 4 months, working 3 months and having 1 month of time to explore the US.

    I'm in talk for a job in Pittsburgh and I really hope I get it!

    Is anyone from Pittsburgh?
    Do you have any tips on what to do there?
    What I can see and where can I travel on work free days?
    How is living there?

    I of course checked a lot for myself, but it's always better coming from people who live there personally. :slight_smile:

    I also want to maybe meet new friends, someone who can show me around and guide me a bit.
    Because this is quite a big step for me and even tho I know it will be amazing, I am kinda nervous. And it's still 5 months away! haha :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    To elaborate a bit on this, no contact info of any kind (including social media info) can be shared publicly here. If you become a full member, you get access to sending other users private messages as long as they are also full members. You can share off site contact info like social media profiles there since it would be private.

    Of course!
    Thanks for the answer.

    I wasn't planning for anyone to share any of their personal info.

    Just want to get to know Pittsburgh through the eyes of the locals before I get there. :slight_smile:

    Like how it's living there, the prices etc..
    Meeting in real life comes when I actually get there haha

    No, but I've visited, and it's a pretty nice place! There's quite a bit to do. Last time I was out there it was mostly for the galleries and small shops.

    That's good to hear!
    As far as I've done my research, the people are really nice there.

    Tho I must say looking for a summer job is soo hard in US. Most companies don't even have an e-mail I can write to, or they have it well hidden. Ooooor they don't reply. xD
