From Paris to New York
Expat spouse in seven countries. Every relocation, I rebuilt my life from scratch — language, network, identity. I created Absolutely American to give expat partners in New York the integration I wish I'd had abroad. When the partner settles, the assignment succeeds.
I built Absolutely American on one belief: help the partner, and you secure the assignment
Integration in New York means Integration with New Yorkers
​
Settling in the US is its own world — American cultural codes, the local network, the everyday systems: housing, schools, healthcare, banking, taxes.
We help each expatriate and expat partner read the culture, build real local connections, and turn New York from a foreign city into their city.
