LIFE-IN-THE-USA ARTICLES

At first, I wrote for the editor of the Housing and Travel Departments. He said he was thrilled to work with me because it takes him all of five minutes to review and edit my submissions.
I was then invited to be a member of the New2USA Advisory Board. Soon enough, I began writing for the editors of the Society and Culture and Health and Money Departments. All in all, I've written more than 30 features and how-tos for the site.
