#022: Beating Typhoid & Overcoming the American Dream

What this episode covers

Migratory Patterns' 2-part Season 2 kick-off continues as I chat with another one of my BFFs from college, Josh Gardner. Josh first traveled to China in the mid 1990s as an anthropology student where he almost died when he caught typhoid while conducting research in rural Yunan province. But this didn't deter him. He came back for a short stint after graduation, and then settled into a life of middle class bliss in West Hartford, CT where he ran a China-based sourcing business & made frequent trips back. But the call of the #ExpatLife never died down, so after over a decade of hard work, during which he achieved the American Dream, he and his family sold everything and moved over to China for good.
