Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Everglade wetlands on the other, Miami is a water-lovers paradise.  It’s also characteristic of silver skyscrapers reaching into the bright blue sky. The lifestyle in Miami is very diverse and it has lots to offer. Many large companies and banks are based in Downtown Miami whereas the Port of Miami is well-known as one of the best passenger cruise ports in the world. It is also a very popular location for film and television production. Therefore, there are lots of opportunities for job seekers in various fields of interest - whether it is economy and social sector or tourism and culture.

Overall weather conditions in Miami are considered to be warm and temperate. You get lots of sun with temperatures averaging around 60 F in wintertime and reaching its peak of heat at over 80 F during summers. Such a mild climate makes it a great place for various outdoor activities, especially at the beaches in Miami, which are open to the public all year round.

In 2008, Miami was ranked as the cleanest city in whole United States, outrunning other major metropolitan areas, such as Jacksonville and Seattle. It is also a very multicultural city with a large Latin American community (in fact, Miami is the place with the most Latin Americans living outside of Latin America). Therefore Spanish is a widely spoken language there, along with so-called “Spanglish” which is a mix of the both of the most widely spoken languages in the city - Spanish and English.
