JOSH GARCIA - VIDEO JOURNALIST & TRAVEL HOSTNew York City is home to travellers from all over the world. If you can name a country, you can bet it is represented in here in NYC. Millions of people dream of getting here to follow that dream. Then there are those of us that live in NYC, and spend our time travelling around this big beautiful world.

These days, Josh is a finalist in not one, but TWO amazing travel host contests that could take him around the world with a fat budget, a film crew, and a smile from ear to ear!
