How do you fund all of this expenditure and exploration and oops we made another expensive mistake. It's a little hard to listen to. . .

Bonne serie. Comment as-tu selecte le ville et votre maison ? Prix, emplacement, acces a le metro et autre criteria ? Merci. Quelle department et provence as-tu sélectionné ?

Yvelines dept 78 is great we lived in Versailles glorious, then move out west to the Morbihan dept 56 it has been a blast 22 years and counting all worth it no looking back and now retire la vie est belle!

Ur lucky to have a good woman. My ex wife and I were seekers but we tried selling our home in USA when we were on 30&27 at the time. Tried moving to Australia, but the stress of the move, and mostly immaturity , our marriage failed. It's too bad because 19 years later, it's more clear than ever , we were perfect for each other, and I know she thinks the same, she moved on tho and had kids with a new man , and I say all this because a good woman is worth fighting for, I wish we had fought harder. On the flip side, a toxic partner will ruin your life, and I've learned both the hard way. I'm 50 and rebuilding

je suis un homme Français , tu dis que les usa est la terre des innovations et que votre vie se résume au travail , la France aussi est une terre d'innovation : il suffit de voir les innovations en technologie , en médecine , mais notre vie ne se concentre pas sur le travail , nous avons choisi que notre vie de famille ( vie privée ) était tout autant importante que le travail , voir plus

I just lost my dearest friend (Joe) in September 7, 2024. I must say he was my only real friend since moving to the Nature Coast (in Florida) 12 years ago. What you say about friendship resonates with me. Listening to the other person, asking questions, learning from each other, and laughing at life's absurdities. True friends enrich our lives. I turn sixty-four in December, and I have lost several dear friends over the past few years. Now I have no more friends, just acquaintances. As a loner, I felt so lucky to meet and connect with a quality person like Joe. He was a star athlete in school, an engineer. a mechanical whiz, and a loving husband and father. I shall miss his wonderful wit and sense of humor, his love of nature, his kindness and compassion, and his extraordinary intelligence. Anyway, thanks for this thought-provoking video, Josh. You do go beneath the surface. Usted es una persona de pensamiento profundo.

"I have no friends." then immediately back peddles by boasting he has a best friend, lol

Thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much! It’s an almost philosophical and friendly approach which opens up your heart so that your house can find you! Awesome.

It translated very well to me. I always loved the French language. It has been like music to me. I remember listening to a French speaker on the radio when I was nine years old. The guy could have read the phone book of Paris backwards. When I was about twenty I visited a cousin( female) of mine who lived in Paris at that time. I left the train station , went to a bakery to buy a croissant. The saleswoman asked me”au Beurre? and my response was no, avec rien. She handed me one without a word. I didn’t know you need any kind of fat, butter or something cheaper, to make a croissant.I though she meant to slice it and put butter onto it. I wouldn’t say anything in a restaurant unless I felt the sentence was complete and the grammar correct. A waiter told me, just start talking, we are French , we’ll understand .Go ahead. This broke my cycle not to try, always assuming I had to do it the perfect way.Helped me a lot.

❤Enjoy!😊

They say oatmilk creates a higher spike, so better to go with almond milk for example. Check out glucose goddes, she is French😊 I have been watching some videos from Portland and i think both you guys look so much healthier and glowing😊

I don't want any , they been always planted to so call help me but no more I'm a one man army for life

Oh, I recognised your son. He's got his own channel. Haha.

I'm going to watch this more than once, this is well worth absorbing. It was a pleasant surprise to hear the f word used properly 😄

bro is married and tries to give advice to the real lonelys, try again haha

Love the ending in French !

I love your thoughts on pushing yourself emotionally and I’ve been watching you both over the last 2 years and your physical and emotional journeys. Very inspiring and thought provoking. I’d love to move to France

You have an amazing ability to speak from the heart, which why so many people want you to do more of these.

After watching several of your videos and your spiritual journey I wonder what do you use as your Objective (NOT subjective) source of truth? A world where everyone holds to Their perceived truth only leads to social chaos. In my opinion.

Very interesting video, especially with the current political climate and people 'unfriending' those who disagree with them politically

Bonjour En voyant cette vidéo par hasard , je remarque que nous ne sommes pas conscients que nous vivons dans un merveilleux pays et que nous sommes jamais content ( râleur 😜) . Je suis originaire de la Bretagne mais vivant proche de Paris pour mon travail. Je retournerais en Bretagne pour ma retraite . Une région merveilleuse 🇫🇷👍👍

I just stumbled upon these videos. Very informative. We are ourselves actively looking for a house in... Yvelines. We might need to extend -- either the area or the budget.

Overpopulation and very expensive stay away from Europe

Amazing content!!! Love what you’re sharing with us all! Thank you! ❤

Loved it thank you.

It did translate! And as for me? What helped me take big risks? I've gone through a few periods of my life where I decided that every single day, I would do whatever scared me the most. ('Cause I'm a big old scaredy cat down to my toes.) And, of course, those were the moments that completely changed my life. The tiny things often make the biggest changes.

Day by day when I see your content I enjoyed so much and learn a lot thanks for the best content

I am 43 and been feeling stuck. I also moved (not France) but a place that I didnt think would be difficult to adjust but 2.5 years later and I am still struggling and resorted to feeling "stuck". I started seeing a therapist 2 months ago because of a sudden heart wrenching event and to process grief. But through it old stuff is coming out and strugglig to process. I want to fix it right away but i cant. Videos like this (its not a bad thing) always shows snippet of the journey and when the person has reached the other side giving the viewer inspiration. But what it doesnt show is the months or years it can take to get to the other side. Or the journey in itself is the other side - the fact that we even decided to take the journey. You gave some inspiration and thank you for a non-scripted version of you.

Yes, I really like this freestyle side of you. The openness and vulnerability is like one soul is speaking to another. It inspires me to not over think stuff which usually will usher in fear. I was also thinking…It’s your scripted versions that brought you to this place. Both belong in your toolbox. Keep up the good work, you guys are so great… Put it on a T-shirt “Sport Mode All The Way”Thanks, Lisa

lol - “I think we should eat”

I’m going to take a chance. I’m an extravert I never have a problem talking to people. I’m going to do it opposite be more quiet be more observant.

If you really want it, you can do it. My husband and I emigrated to France in 2010, renovated a abandoned 17th century farmhouse, far from Paris (which we don’t especially like). I am now 84 years old and happier en healthier than ever before

"encouraging and supporting each other..." The key to success or failure... in a relationship...

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I dream of doing something like that once I retire. But, I have a spouse who has no desire for new and uncomfortable.

You are starting to grow on me!

Couldn’t agree more and beautifully put. I’m in my 50s and have tried to maintain friendships that are just overdue and had become superficial. Exploring the journey of life and deeper understanding are now a prerequisite. Thank you for sharing something so personal and honest 🙏🏻

I identify with your feelings about having friends or not having friends. In fact, for some mysterious reason, it has always been stressful for me to get close to another person--both male and female. Since my childhood I have been a loner. I never trusted people. People I considered to be my friends had ulterior motives and cheated me. They borrowed from me promising to return the loan but they never did. Occasionally I meet them in grocery stores and we exchange greetings but they never mention the loan they took from me. I stopped mentioning it to them because I know they will lie. That's why I have lost faith in humans. It is much better for me to be alone and do things I enjoy by myself. There are so many thing which keep me occupied, and I don't feel lonely.

restaurants are probably similar everywhere to be honest. I found the inverse to be true. every place I tried in lisbon and porto we found just sort of mediocre- heavy salt and heavy carbs with not much depth. we dounf ourselves wishing for the variety of food we coudl find at home in vancouver BC. portugese food started to feel same really fast I found but maybe we're just spoilt for choice out here!

The KZbin algorythme brought me to your son's channel, wich took me to yours. I really like your perspective on life and the ageing process. I was wondering, though, if juicing was really that good for you, because getting rid of the fibers in fruits just transforms it in liquid fructose, just as any supermarket fruit juice but with more natural vitamins, doesn't it? I'm asking this because I've been interested in juicing too in the past, but as I understood how sugar was our worst ennemy, I got away from it. The second thing I wanted to say, as a 40 year old French woman, is that unfortunately you'll never know how amazing was the french healthcare system, as it's soooo broken right now. It used to be really functional, paid by you taxes for the most part, very good hospitals with world renoun professors, some good research, great deals on prices for medication as they were negociated by the State, etc. But since 2005 I'd say, the narrative was that we had to lower the costs. We didn't (lower the costs), but little by little, we dismantled our healthcare system. Covid finished the job. Now it's not the worst in Europe (I would be very worried to have to go the a hospital in the UK), but it's nothing like it used to be. For exemple: not finding a doctor was impossible a few years ago. Well, here we are.

I see friends as community and community is one of the key factors in living a long and healthy life.

Mirá...te entiendo...y estoy de acuerdo. Para mi, en mi vida en este punto, a esta nivel, veo amistades, igual...Que se sigan amando. Los felizitos❣️

Mirá...te entiendo...y estoy de acuerdo

I'm 85 and hope to re invent myself stronger

Congrats to you for being brave and stepping out! The more you do it, the more you CAN do it. We learn from all our trials and errors and life is full of so many mysteries and rewards. The more you challenge yourself, the greater the reward! Keep it up Josh!! 🎉❤ Btw, I love yours and your son’s channel, but I’m having a hard time finding your wife’s channel. I watched it once and adored it but now I can’t find it. 😩 I wanted to subscribe to it as well. Can you please give me the link, or tell me the name of it? Thank you!

I have also had lots of friends in my life. A very diverse group of people (some for very long time). But I do not have them anymore and that is a very concious choice of mine. I thought I needed to have friends to be happy. And I used to have friendships that went deeper than just hanging out. We talked about life issues. But I do not want to invest in an ongoing contact with friends. I feel these days maintaining friendships feel slike a relationship. The commitment and level of attentiveness it needs to create deep friendships is too much for me. Since I have developed a loving relationship with myself al of my friendship needs dissapeared. I want a lot of solitude. Apart from my partner I prefer superficial contacts. Like for example, we live in a village where we great eachother and have nice chitchats about village life. All innocent and light topics. And there is no pressure to follow up on eachother. And online I connect with people about specific interests. My life feels full and compleet this way.

Sounds like you and your son made a beautiful connection. Bravo 👏
