About

Hey there!

This is Polina, founder of The Immigrant Club – a platform for immigrants, built by immigrants (and maybe a cat or two 🐱).

I'm on a mission to create a space for immigrants (like me!) who are trying to establish their new lives in the United States.

What will it look like? Honestly, I'm not sure yet! I have a blurry vision, but instead of spending months (or years...) getting a crystal clear idea, I decided to just start messy and see where it leads.

Here is what I DO know: immigrating to a new country is both an exciting and terrifying experience. It's also gets quite lonely out here, especially in your first year or two, as you are trying to establish new relationships, routines, career, and a whole new life.

So I'm just hoping to make this significant chapter in your life a bit more enjoyable and a bit less lonely.

In this newsletter, you'll get:

• Resources & practical tips navigating life in the US
• Lessons & reflections from my personal experience as an immigrant
• Featured immigrant stories from different walks of life, so you don't have to listen to my story only
• Hopefully, a community of like-minded immigrants building the best lives for themselves and their families

So whether you're a newbie immigrant who just arrived, or an experienced immigrant with several years under your belt, I hope you'll find this helpful.

Welcome to the club! 🐝
