Currently writing my essays for grad schools and half of them ask why I want to move to France, thanks for your perspective (: No place is perfect but it's cool to see think about the best parts of everywhere you've lived (:
happy 2 year anniversary!! ~ you were totally glowing in this vid!! everytime i watch your vids i get more and more excited to move! thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences
Making friends depends on common activities : going to the gym, studying, working, these are activities where you’ll bind and make friends. But certainly not a bar. Also, what you’re describing is really Paris experience, very different from the countryside. Lastly, remember the american peach versus the French coconut metaphor.
Fair! Yes, as I stated, my experience is limited to the Paris area. To clarify, the bar is not the commonality between friends in the US, but it is a legitimate opportunity to meet new people, which I find (in general) is not the case in Paris. In addition, I agree - in France, making new friends is often based on common interests/shared activities, which is great! When I met my friends in a bar in Dallas, we all had different interests which pushed me to try new things. For example, I was introduced to rock climbing gyms and yoga classes and beach volleyball courts with my friends in Dallas, and those are things I never would have done if I stuck with my interests (dance and art classes) only. Sometimes I miss the American way, but I still appreciate the French way :)
Happy anniversary! I think that your first example is re: Paris not the rest of France. My husband and I are looking at homes in les provinces and you get way more bang for your buck most of the time.
Right now I don't have any plans to go back to the US but it's definitely a possibility. I'm not closed off to the idea, but I'm happy in France :) thanks for watching!
Deux ans à Paris et a trouvé tous les magazines d’alimentation fermés à 19h ?? C’est impossible : les chaînes ferment vers 22h même le dimanche sans parler des petits épiciers indépendants ou les épiceries de nuit (c’est vrai auss à Toulouse). Ensuite quand j’achète le pain ou le journal on se parle régulièrement pour commenter la météo, ou autre travaux dans la rue etc…
There is not the same stigma in France than the US about cigarettes but i don't know if scientificaly people smoke more or it's kind of the same in the two country.
Strange to hear. I've been to France a few times very rude people. I felt like they were very anti American. You opened my eyes to a different analogy of this. Good luck in France.
First 😂. Happy 2 year anniversary living in France 🇫🇷. Great insights 👍
Thanks!!!! 💗

Thank you again for sharing your experiences. :) Do you plan to move back to the US someday, or to stay in France for the foreseeable future?
Right now I don't have any plans to go back to the US but it's definitely a possibility. I'm not closed off to the idea, but I'm happy in France :) thanks for watching!
Sure, that makes sense, especially when your partner is also French. Thanks so much for answering! ^^ @@iheartjunkfood
This all could apply to a lot of Northeastern cities. Cars are often not essential

Yeah there are rude people here, too, but I think there are rude people everywhere, just like there are nice people everywhere! :) Thank you!
Of course you can find rude people in France. Unexpectedly it can happen at the office... The question is are there gentlemen only abroad ?
