Glad you liked it!! (:

Wish you were coming with me to Edinburgh! Next time 😘

You’ve got me really considering buying one this month lol I have a window unit but I’m actually so scared about how hot this summer is gonna get!!

I brought some cans of refried beans from the states and we can make some pretty decent burritos & quesadillas, but I could never cook as well as going out to Mexican food 😭

I love Italy! It was actually our first choice but the visas were too difficult and we ended up loving nice instead! But we go to Italy every year and I speak Italian because I’m so obsessed (: last year we did Calabria and it was incredible. I agree that Italian people are warmer, but the French aren’t necessarily cold, just colder than Italians. I feel like it would be easier to make friends in Italy but I haven’t lived there long enough to know for sure!

Hmmm since I work from home I’m not sure, but France is usually good about environmental sustainability. I would look into Bordeaux or Lyon, if not Paris. Are you already in that field? Maybe transferring would work!

If you look for international companies you must live in the biggest cities. You do not need to live in Paris. There are very beautiful cities such as Lyon and Bordeaux that offer a great life quality and where you can find jobs for English speakers.

That’s so exciting! Hope you love it there (:

Agreed! But America gives none, so in our case it would be better!

Thank you! 😊

Oh we definitely try, but it never is as good! I don’t agree about France not needing Mexican food, I’ve gotten good Indian food, Italian food, Vietnamese food, all here in nice. Mexican food should be next! (:

So no Italian food then? Lol

Hey! So when you’re applying for the visa in the US, you should tell them the date you plan to arrive in France. You don’t want to waste a day of the visa, so ideally you should get there as soon as your visa starts! (: you have to register your visa in France 90 days after the first day of the visa, so there is a set period. You should have an address and a phone number and hopefully a French bank account by the 90 day point. Let me know if that answered your question!

@@happilyevertravels thank you so much

lol it’s definitely something to consider! I think the summers are heating up too much tho for French apartments to not have some ac at least in July and August. But most of the time we don’t need it!

We have ac in every room!

Amazon puts the package in front our door! No problem.

That’s awesome! Where are you thinking of moving? I’d choose Lyon or Annecy if I were to leave Nice

Not sure what you’re trying to say here, but I’m in France when I recorded this!

Good point, you can get your packages sent to a drop off point as well, I’m just too lazy for that and they’ll be sitting there forever 😂 if I didn’t work from home, I’d have to do that option.

Aw thank you! I always see negative reviews of living in France, and they bring up a lot of good points, but living in the South is also very different than Paris. A lot of what they say doesn’t apply to my experience in Nice, but I have had trouble speaking French in Paris and some grumpiness lol but after years of living year, I don’t mind grumpiness and it doesn’t happen often here

I’ve found that italki classes (conversations in French for pretty cheap) are basically the only way to move the needle toward fluency. I speak Spanish and Italian and it definitely helps but French is so hard still! But i think it’s pronunciation for me, I’ve gotta keep working on it to feel more comfortable using it in public. I hope you get to move here! Alliance francaise was also super fun but expensive :/

I haven’t been to Australia, but I would consider nice to be a clean city and it was recently voted the most walkable city, it’s super nice to walk around and they keep the streets clean and safe. My friend from Melbourne loves it here and comes back often.

Oh wow, that village looks amazing!!

typical village of the lot. you can also see figeac, rocamadour, carennac, espagnac saint eulalie, saint martin de vers and many others

Thank you! This summer (tourist season) was so hot that it actually wasn’t that bad with tourists, it seemed like they were on the beach or at their Airbnb, not much in between. But on a normal summer, it gets packed and we usually just stay home and work more in the summer besides going to the beach. Only about 2-3 months like that! The rest of the year is super nice.

I live here, own a nice apartment across from Jardin du Luxembourg. Stay cool @@happilyevertravels

Amen to that, I know you love living here! 😘
