We make abroad more accessible
We believe cultural exchange will be key to make our society more connected, not less. When people experience living abroad whether it is for study, work or to start a business, they broaden their perspectives and cultural awareness. But frankly, it’s not accessible for everyone. My Access Abroad aims to bridge that gap by helping more people access international experiences through resources, community and useful services.
Our story
Both of us migrated to the United States. That’s where we met and our story began. We have lived and worked in five countries and moved to seven different cities. However, it wasn’t – and is still not – easy to move. Every time, we encounter new and unexpected immigration-related conundrums.
We created MAB after years of living abroad and tackling access issues for migrants and underrepresented individuals from diverse lenses, including personal experiences, academic research, career counseling, college admission, and corporate recruitment. We noticed two big issues: 1. relevant information is difficult to access 2. there is virtually no platform providing actionable guidance and support. MAB was born to fill these perceived gaps.
