Meet (America) Josh Pugh

G'day, my name is Josh Pugh!

I arrived in New York on January 10, 2017, from Adelaide, South Australia and I'm a Digital Consultant & Strategist (which is a confusing way of saying: websites, social media, and strategy) in my 30's.

I had a fantastic life in Adelaide and in Australia but thought in late 2015 that it was time to do something new. I handed over control of my company, sold my house, car, and even gave away my cat (“Aslan”) to start on my journey to New York.

Why New York? Because, New York. I really don't have a better story about why I chose this place beyond the fact that if you've been here, you know what I'm talking about. The place buzzes and on a brief visit in 2015, I knew I had to come back.

Sure it could have backfired, it could have been short-lived, but I was fortunate enough to be in the position where I could at least give it a shot. Luckily for me, it worked! I found a home, I found a wife, I found a dog, and I found my future, all in a matter of a few short years.

I'm still on this adventure though, so this site will evolve with me. There are elements I haven't discovered and better ways to go about things, but who better to update you than someone who is doing this with you at the same time?

I really do love to chat, and I love a coffee, beer or wine. If you're something similar or just want to talk through something please do email me at [email protected].

For everything professional, please do go to JoshPugh.nyc or my company at Fortnight Digital.

My Mission for America Josh

I want this site to help anyone and everyone in New York City and the US, whether you're still planning to move, have just moved, or have been here your whole life. There's a great benefit to having all sorts of voices in the mix!

Most importantly I want to help make the transition from wherever you're from just a little bit easier.

I also want this site to work with all the other resources that already exist, and not duplicate anything that is already helpful elsewhere. I'm always reaching out to other organizations, websites, companies, and services to combine forces, so if you know anyone, please do put them in touch!

An Important Note about this website

Throughout this site, I make recommendations based on personal opinions or free advice from others. In some cases, links to items may include a referral code which may result in my benefiting in some way (financial or other). By using such a link you will, to the best of my knowledge, receive only a service equal or better to going directly to that product or service yourself.

If however, you are at all uncomfortable, I would urge you to Google search for the item instead of using the link I provide and signing-up that way.
