Hi all,

Newbie on the USA forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in the USA if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hi Julien,

Let me start out first. I am pretty new to the US forum. Although its south of the border from Canada, I do travel there quite often. If anyone travels up north to the Great White North which is Canada, particular to Nova Scotia, give me a holler.

Bob K

As you can see from my log in info  We are retired and living in the Dominican Republic, and have been here for 9 years.  We spent the last 20 years before that in Colorado.  I am a USA native and spent my entire life in the US before relocating here almost 9 years ago.

That must be nice!!!, living in a small village enjoying what earth has to offer. In a way I want to be just like you when I retired, I would to live in some tropical part of the world and not have to worried about trafic, noise crime, etc.

Anyway... The reason I posted this add is to interact with other people, I'm interested in people's way of life, culture, nature ....
I want to tell you and ask questions about what happens in the world.
I am are interested in food culture in different countries, what the world is eaten. And how.
What kind of a way of life in the world is.

For now I'm out, have nice weeken and I will be back Monday if the lord is willing and the creek don't rise.

And I kno I have to improve my english before doing anything.. We can say that it's just a dream until now... Wish me good luck so I can  achieve my dream!

Hi Greg from Arima, Trinidad here.

A visa for professionals or marriage to a US citizen or if lucky via sponsorship.

gregoo

Living in the South USA is a beautiful experience.  However racism and inequality abounds in many places.  Cost of living is fairly low as is pay. Getting a job s could be a challenge.

,

gregoo

By the way, I lived in Europe for 16 years and would love to live there.  Crime is much lower there.

gregoo

Smart choice and savings.

gregoo

There. Is no such thing in NY as low cost.  Taxes amounts to about 50% of your pay.

gregoo

Go online and do some research.
