The definitive expat guide

How to move to America

Tips, tricks, and guides to help you with your move. Everything from banking to sandwiches.

Welcome to America Josh

I'm Josh Pugh, the Founder and CEO of America Josh.

I moved to New York from Adelaide in 2017, and ever since then have been on a mission to help other Aussies who make the move.

Whether you’ve just landed or you’re still figuring out your move, we’ve got everything you need to make life in the U.S. simpler, smoother, and a whole lot more fun.

From sandwiches to tax we’ve got you covered and I'd love to see you at one of our upcoming events.
