Of course, but you have to be smart, brave and ready to endure.




There is always a first person.
Yup true,life here for a beginner is very tough especially for newbie with no one to rely on .You have to learn new ways ,new thinking ,new habits...come with a blank slate,endure,be open minded.I've met lots of new comer Africans who bring their old mindset, indisciplined and with lots of baggage from their home country which doesn't work here.

Come with a new hard drive,new memory chip and new software ,so to speak.Being timely like 3-5min early for appointments or work(Africans have a bad lateness habit),have integrity and work ethic,evolve and learn,reduce your accent for better communication,be cleaner coz Americans generally think Africans are lacking in this area,embrace a maintenance/organization culture and pay every bill on time.Have extra drive/motivation and leave our chaotic culture behind.And please don't litter here like we do in our cities you'll get heavy punishment.

These are some habits that make America work well,make it richer and always look nice and pristine in pictures or videos.

Yes, I even think its the norm. Most people travel to places even worse than America and still emerged triumphantly. Its about the person, not necessarily the location.

Many guys went to countries that don't speak English and don't even use the alphabet systems (eg Russia with its Cyrillic and China with its calligraphy) and made it big. Travelling far out of your country is one of the most challenging experiences that will reveal whether one is a hustler or not. Because no one will be there to have your back, and you also can't blame anyone.

To be irresponsible is a kinda privilege, because it means someone is carrying your weight somewhere. Going abroad leaves you exposed, vulnerable, and a true jungle out there. Hence lots of folks becomes illegal immigrants because its not easy. When you travel abroad alone, you won't have the privilege to be irresponsible.

Can one travel to America without having any family or friends over there?

Good evening nairalanders, I'm seeking for y'all knowledge based on traveling overseas

I'm 26 years of age,I have ND certificate in Health Information Management and I willing to travel out of the country,it has been my dream to live in America but the issue is I neither have a family nor friends over there

Pls if any of you have any idea,I will be glad if y'all can enlighten me more about the procedure if it's possible to travel without having any relative or friends abroad.

Thanks

I don't know about the US. But I do know a course that will teach you all you need to do to get to Canada without a student visa. I had a friend who bought it last year he didn't need the help of an immigration consultant.
Chat me up using 07089593577 for more information.

Make sure that you live in a big city like Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Chicago or DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia).

Join a bug African church and be active in the singles ministry.

You will have a big network of progressive friends within 6 months.

Good luck and God bless.


Gone are the days bro. It’s always better to have a network either directly or indirectly. Bro, no be joke. If you stay for Motel 6, an average night goes for like 55 dollars depending on the city. Before your SSN go arrive sef, no be joke. Things were easier pre-pandemic. These days, no be joke to get appointment for any government establishment.
It’s possible to travel to anywhere without knowing anybody but you go see hell. I mean it. The experience is hell on earth oooo.

I am very sure that if you get money well, you won’t come here and ask this question.
My one cent is that you should try and look for one host or the other before you embark on the trip.

You mean the same Nigeria people do their roads, fix their transformer, have street security and fund it, drill their own water, buy solar power for their homes yet you say things are free?

My answer is yes,you don't need too much money but you need to be brave,smart and disciplined to navigate through the terrain cos its tougher than naija.

Talking from personal experience

Maybe you were lucky. If for instance, the guy carry 5,000 usd and arrives at Dulles Airport without knowing anyone. It’s 12 F right now. It’s very very cold. The first thing is to arrange Uber or lyft and go bunk for one hotel. Minimum for this area is like 75 dollars. How many nights is the fella going to sleep without working before he depletes his savings of 5 k usd? Please don’t encourage people to embark journey without throwing out all information.
Again, with your non-immigrant visa, don’t start your journey without having the full gist and options. America no be Nigeria. The cold itself can kill you if care is not taken.
