America Josh

— I love people, and one thing I’ve learned is everyone wants the same thing: To meet others and to be part of a community.

I’ve been America Josh since May, 2017.

America Josh is an online guide and community network helping expats from all over the world move to and thrive in America. My mission is to make the transition more straight forward and life abroad less stressful.

In 2017 I moved my whole life to New York and while I found lots of resources across the internet to help with my move, I couldn’t find a reliable central point with information about the basics; so I created one.

America Josh started as a hobby for me to make new friends in a big city and has evolved into a supportive community of over 20,000 fantastic people helping each other and working together to make their transition to America more straight forward.

I write articles, create events, build partnerships, and help people. It’s a dream job and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.
