I lived in Paris for 8 years. There is nothing wrong south you possibly living in both places. If you’ve never lived abroad before it can be overwhelming. Please know that you don’t have to vlog as much as you do. It takes time to get your footing in a new place, let alone a new country. When it’s time for you to return to Paris, why not just turn the cameras off snd gently learn about your surroundings, find your rhythm. We’ll be here to continue to support you both. Take your time. We can wait and do can Paris.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much for your support and encouragment!

[@mariecarter3138]

I must tell you both how inspired I was by your travels in France, but even *more* inspired by your transparency and vulnerability in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I was surprised by how much you were posting, and completely understand why that was too much. Change for me is very very challenging so I applaud the huge steps that you took together. Your experience and reactions are the OPPOSITE of failure ❤

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you, Marie! So appreciate this post 💞💞💞

[@nancysaladino6108]

I am new to seeing your channel and it all seems like such a lovely idea, but I have to ask you a question. Are you aware of all the changes that are happening all over the world? I think it would be very stressful to change your life in such a huge move while the world is going through so many changes spiritually, politically, socially and monetarily. That's enough to make anyone's head spin. Many people might not agree with this but it is the truth. We as humans are getting and are currently going through changes on all fronts which are unique in all of human history. Whether or not you believe it, Bible prophecy is playing out in front of all of us. The world is about to be in Tribulation for the next three and a half to seven years. I hate to be a "Debbie Downer", but there are going to be more lockdowns, vaccines, change in world wide currency and lots more social unrest. I can see why anyone would be very stressed out not being around familiar things, when the whole world is losing its mind, around all of us. Whether or not you believe in Jesus, He is about to return and take His children out of this world, because the next few years of Tribulation are going to start at any moment if they haven't already. If anyone thinks what I am saying is crazy, read the book of Revelation. It's all coming to pass. If I were in your shoes, which I am not, but I wouldn't want to leave my elderly parents at all and be in a different country either. Travel is probably going to be restricted more than it already is. It's amazing to me that many people in the world can look around and not notice anything going on, but it's time to wake up. We all need discernment and the only place to get that is with the Holy Spirit through belief in Jesus. No one should want to be on this earth during the Tribulation, because in order for you to be saved you must believe that Jesus died for you and you can't take the Mark of the beast and you should not take any Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci vaccines. You have to admit that the elites and the powers that be just want to take your rights away from you and control every aspect of your life, especially communication, travel and money. They try to pass themselves off as such philanthropic helpers if the world when they are just the opposite. Sorry this is so long, but I have to say it couldn't be more normal than to listen to what your body is telling you that things are not right and that there are too many adjustments to be made in life right now. Many people are losing everything. God is trying to get people's attention, because he wants to save us all. The next few years are going to be ruled by the evil one and many people will have to go against him and will probably be killed for their faith, if they make it that far. If these were normal times, I think your channel would be wonderful, but we are all living not in normal times. I wish you all the best and God's blessings and protection upon you.

[@globetrotter6127]

I empathized with you because my husband and me planned many years ago to return to Spain after retirement where we lived some years but has been impossible for different reasons. And then decided to travel different places very often instead . I think the way you’re planning now to stay some months and back is more realistic and is a smart decision. God bless you and continue with your videos at your own pace. We enjoy them very much.

[@kathleenkalt3852]

Learning what is best for you is not failure, it's insight.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes, we agree. Thank you!

[@cremebrulee4759]

Thank you so much for being honest about your depression. Mental health issues do have a stigma around them, and they shouldn't. As someone who has struggled all of my life with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, it's wonderful to see someone talking openly about their struggles. That move was an enormous change in weather, language, lifestyle, family. It's easy to think that you're ready because you want to be and you feel like you are, but it turns out to be too much. Adding pain like you're having with your knee to that just exacerbates the issue. Now you can think through your next steps from the comfort of a place where you feel at home. Having your own possessions around you is also extremely important. I've been to Paris twice on short visits of two or three days. I didn't see all of the sights, but I did love the atmosphere and the architecture, walking along the Champs-Élysées, and sitting in a sidewalk cafe watching the people go by. Don't pressure yourself to make so many videos unless you are dependent on the money, which I don't believe is the case. When it stops being fun, then you shouldn't be doing it. I didn't realize that KJ had another KZbin channel, but I would love to check it out if you provide a link. Best of luck.

[@dls300]

I would like to visit Paris and do those exact things that you spoke of. Debby in Kansas

[@SoLaRe60]

KJ and Tony, I just discovered your videos today. All this resonates so much with me. My husband and I live in Miami, Florida. We have been talking about moving away for years, and France has been high on our list. I know both Paris and Nice very well (I am European and a French teacher), and, although I love both, I would prefer to live in Nice, and just visit Paris. For us, Floridians, used to seeing the sun every day, the south makes sense. Your experience is not a failure. Finding out what we want and how to achieve it is a process. You are inspirational. I wish you the very best!

[@dls300]

"Finding out what we want and how to achieve it is a process." So much clarity! Debby in Kansas

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much, Sorela. I'm disappointed that I missed out on experiencing Nice. Tony says I will probably like it even more than Paris, due to the weather and the coast. I'm looking forward to going back to Paris in October, but the next trip will be to Nice. Thanks again for your kindness and support🥰

[@castlequay2327]

i love Nice. After about 4 visits in 20 years my husband and i enjoyed a weeks holiday in April so much tbat we have decided to return every year during the end of April for a holiday. The airport transfer is easy on the metro and we have chosen the Hotel Beau Rivage as it has its own beach. Perfect in all weathers with shops museums good train links and best of all the Promenade.

[@suzannekurkowski8246]

I’m glad you prioritized your own health. I love watching your videos, but YOU matter more than anything 🙏🏻❤️

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you, Suzanne 🥰

[@jenniferbarkey5712]

I was a military wife for 20 years. The depression you suffered from is something I went through when ever we moved to another country. When I was younger I got through it a bit easier and faster but when I was in my early 40s we got stationed in southern Italy. That's where I again suffered from depression. It's all linked to you knowing you are going to be there a long time, culture shock, missing home aka U.S., time changes,etc. It took me about 6 months to get out of that depression. I never came home to the US to visit family for fear of going through the readjustment again when returning to Italy. Don't beat yourself up over you needing to come home. Maybe it would just be best to go for a month at a time. Take care.

[@dls300]

That is so interesting. I was a 3rd grade teacher at a military base, and am now retired. Debby in Kansas

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Love and appreciate you, Debby in Kansas!!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you for sharing this, Jennifer. Helps to normalize the experience for me and know I am not alone in this experience. Truly, so helpful. Yes, I believe shorter visits and having a home base to come home to in the US is a better option.

[@patoshea5351]

I am glad you are now doing better..I was concerned...it show when you wanted a certain blanket...when you do if when....not ignore your limits..such as selecting apt when to many stairs..or using unforgiving Metro that doesn't provide accession..elevator... I think if you went into Maritime Alps long term lease of car..to discover the better part of South Coast...such as Beaulieu...Viillefranche etc..do possibly weekly visits in the area. Posting adventures restaurants etc..I am going back to visit..now costly in Summer. I have been traveling in Mexico for over 2 months...working with Airbb..sometimes good one week at time another passible.I recall Tony saying what do with your clothes...since caught in season change of clothing..I do need downsize my suitcase...for its been OK on bus to Airbb...but now be taking trains in Europe..it will be more difficult..heavy suitcase..any tips Tony?

So nice to see you both. I was worried the last few weeks. You’re not alone KJ, so many go through homesickness & depression. Big hug. I have no expectations of your vids. Whatever you post in future will be lovely. 🇨🇦♥️

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you, Sharon 🥰

[@anandhicooray5512]

It's so nice to see you both. KJ, you don't 'have to' post a video every week. We'd rather wait for one when you are free and liking to post, than feeling compelled and under pressure. It's your experience of France and not a job or a chore. It's the joy that you feel in your experience, that we enjoy. Best to you both! 👍👍👍💖💖💖

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much. We appreciate your encouragement and support!!

[@stephanawest5054]

You are so brave. First to follow your dream of moving to France, and then to be smart enough to take care of your mental and physical health in your return to the U.S. I’m glad that you are feeling better and I look forward to more posts from you. Tell us some of the things you learned on your first move to France that will alter how you do things on the next trip. Your dream of living in France hasn’t died, like most things in life it has just changed. Good to see you both!

[@dls300]

Amen! Debby in Kansas

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you, Stephana. I appreciate your kind comments. We will also address your question in our next Q&A video🥰

[@ganymeade5151]

Moving to any country is a huge change and challenge The language, culture, bureaucracy, financial system of France is very different than America. It is necessary to speak fluent French to make friends or to work. French is very difficult to learn for many Americans. That combined with the slowness and complexity of the bureaucracy is frustrating and overwhelming for may people who are used to speed and efficiency. The number of papers and dossiers required in France is incredible. Lose one piece of paper and you must start all over and that can take years. There is often no AC in France and winters can be very cold without enough heat. All of that is challenging.

[@EvaOrtiz949]

I Just found your channel and this video is a GREAT lesson! I’m currently preparing to live in Spain early 2025 and I’ve planned extensively about this move. However, I have not anticipated the emotional toll that may arise from living in a new environment. THANK YOU KJ for having the courage to say out loud what so many keep silent. I’m still excited about my endeavor AND will keep your lovely voice in my heart should I begin to feel less than blissful 🇪🇸 💃🏻 🇫🇷

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

I'm so glad you found it helpful ❤️

[@suemiller7917]

We were transferred to a new area. I had to give up my job and family. I woke up one morning saying I have no friends,I don’t know anyone. But once I started meeting people, making friends and having new experiences I became stronger as a person. I learned so much about myself that I can now move anywheres. I love the experience of new adventures, meeting new people and making new friends. Looking back I found the first move is the hardest. Don’t give up because there will be always new adventures ahead for you both..

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks for your encouragement and support ❤️

[@primordialmeow7249]

I've lived abroad twice in my life. I would say 4 out f 5 Americans return home within 5 years. With all our problems and the changes here, I am an American girl at heart. Just retired from nursing and am happy here in beautiful Northern Arizona. Thanks for being so honest and real.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

You're welcome. Gla dyou enjoyed.

[@carolyn9589]

I was one of the early watchers and remember thinking, oh, fabulous, I can travel vicariously! Your videos were right on target for me. But I do absolutely understand being overwhelmed. When you do something for the love of it, and it becomes more of a job, sometimes the joy fades as you start working harder at ‘succeeding’. Please do not torment yourself over the viewers. We enjoy your videos. If they continue, we’ll be happy. And if they have to be less often, or not at all, just enjoy your time there. Health comes first. I’m glad to hear you’re doing better (except for the knee!). Take care and I wish you the best!

[@christillery7194]

This is Chris Tillery, Tony was my Therapist at Beachcommer. My input is that anyone who Posted anything negative about your Adventure are the same people sitting in their one bed Apartment scared to go get a gallon of milk at Publix, that's 2 blocks from where they live. What y'all have done and accomplished in the past 10 to 12 months is probably the Best Achievement in your whole time married. What you both overcame, would be sending most married couples to a divorce Attorney, I personally have enjoyed the adventures and watching all of the good bad & ugly, and for you to be so honest about everything is just BRAVE. Thank you both and keep us posted on what's next. Thanks again, Chris Tillery

I lived in France about 40 years ago. First semester, I lived in the Southern part of Normandy commuting to a Paris and then moved to Paris full time. I became depressed and home sick after 5 months in France. I went to a special program at the Sorbonne. I get it. I was so homesick and depressed. I had a Greek boyfriend who helped me through some of it. I like your channel I just found it. I have dreams of moving back to France. A part of my heart is in France too. ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel better knowing I'm not alone in my experience of homesickness. We want to live in France ultimately but the timing has to be right.

Dear KJ and Tony, Your adventure in France has been so inspiring. I've missed you both for the last few weeks. You are providing so many people a wonderful opportunity to evaluate if being an expat in France is something something that should be explored. Thank you for being so honest about your depression and bring it into the light. Depression has been stigmatized in the past and fortunately no longer needs to be. KJ, I will keep you in my prayer and look forward to your return to France in the future.

[@msnessa11434]

You guys are awesome. God is using you both for incredible things. I started following you because my husband and I are going to Paris this spring and I’ve dreamt of visiting for 50 years. I appreciate the candid information you offer, not sugar coating things. Our minds bodies spirits need nurturing and care. I am curious to hear about the true nature of your adventure (even if negative). Please care for yourselves and each other. You’re an inspiration to many many people who dream of doing a move abroad and have no clue (doctors, language, money, culture, weather, politics and more). God bless you and your family. Welcome home. ❤

[@msnessa11434]

@@kjandtonylovefrance with the pension strikes spreading nationwide in France, your return to the US was serindipotus. Tear gas, dumpster fires, transit halts, garbage collection halted…that would have been excessive to manage while trying to post videos to KZbin and manage your health. We’re considering postponing our 5/23 trip to Paris and I’m sure God brought you both home in the nick of time. ❤

[@marciagainey5155]

I was so glad to see the notification for this video. I was worried about both of you and hoping you are better and working things out to return to France. It is clear you are determined to return but on a different time frame. I know you will figure out what you need to do to make it happen. Do your channel to suit you. People who enjoy your content will understand if your upload schedule has to be limited - certainly for a while. Just seeing the places you visited was fine and hearing your impressions interesting. I’ve been to France several times and I can’t help but agree that nothing else quite compares to Paris. What an amazing city! But I also know that other places in France are interesting and deserve your critique. So please report back to your audience. But do take care of yourselves, as well! 😃

So glad to hear that KJ is feeling better 💛Your channel is one of my favorites because I find both of you relatable and genuine. It is one of my dreams to move to France as well, so I watch your content with great interest. I appreciate your honesty about your experience, keeping it real, and not sugarcoating everything. Moving forward, I would like to see you create videos of your surrounding area in Boca Raton and any places you travel to or visit. I live in San Diego, so Florida (and the entire eastern/southeastern coast) is a mystery to me and lots of other people as well. The main thing to remember is that we all come to your channel to see *you* and to hear what you have to say. ☀

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

We are getting this feedback from other viewers as well and it is definitely encouraging since we won't be back in France until October. Appreciate you and your kindness.

[@nomopms1]

Tony looks so much like my brother, it blows my mind! Stigma? Not anymore. Most of humanity has experienced depression and or anxiety at some point. 41 years ago, I remarried, moved 2 hours away, and had a new baby all within 13 months. Depression hit me.... and panic attacks. I constantly hyperventilated and shook like a goof. I had a 4 y/o and a precious newborn, but I wanted to take my babies and go "HOME". Back then, no one knew how to help. My OB put me on massive amounts of Valium. I took 1 pill, and flushed the rest down the toilet. After 3 years of that plus another baby, I finally packed up the kids and moved "Home". Eventually, my husband moved back too. I'm also a very driven person, and that bout just about cooked me. Fortunately, now so much more is understood about depression, being stressed out. You seem to have a very understanding and caring husband, who seems to genuinely care FOR YOU. I don't know you, but your honest admission about what you went through could very well help and be an encouragement to others! I feel proud of you! As for Paris, the closest I've come to it is that I had a boyfriend whose mother was from France. LOL! I wish you both the very best!!

Tony's comment about walking along the Seine struck a chord for me. I spent the month of May 2022 in Paris. The apartment I had was across the Seine from the Louvre, so just out the door. This was something I had promised myself for years and the month more than met my expectations.

[@lindadorman2869]

So glad you’re back! I’ve been reading the blog and realized how overwhelming this has been for you. Having been through a similar experience, I think people underestimate how stressful the combination of leaving your family, moving abroad, retiring, starting a new venture, physical injury or illness and other life events can be. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to find the right cadence. I also want to thank you for continuing to build community amongst those of us who love France. In the same way you feel about Paris, I dreamt of moving to Lyon but always wanted to live on the coast. Because of your channel, I’ve decided to visit Nice and Marseille later this year to see if either is right for me. In terms of content, it would be helpful to hear what you might have done, or would do, differently. What are your key take-aways from the experience so far - physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, etc? How will this inform your plans going forward?

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Hi Linda! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I'm glad to know that we have helped inform your plans to move to France and that you are giving yhourself the opportunity to visit Nice and Marseille before you move. Thanks also for your questions that we will fully address during our next Q&A session. One thing I can tell that I've learned from our experience is knowing where you want to settle prior to the final transition to France. The moving from place to place was much harder than I ever anticipated it would be. This is part of the reason why I think you are wise to go check out a few other places before you move. Thanks again ❤️

[@lindadorman2869]

@@kjandtonylovefrance Thanks, I think it's also vital to realize places change over time. After a career as a global expat, I thought I knew where I wanted to go but I spent another year traveling to 12 countries, spending 1 month in each. By the end, I was wiped out so I came back to the US to create a better plan. That was in 2018. In the interim, due to stricter visa rules, war or inflation, some places are no longer an option.

Hello KJ and Tony, It was so good to see your post today, just to know you two are doing fine. Life deals us some setbacks at times and we need to regroup and take another look at moving forward. So pleased to know KJ that you listened to your body and “just came home” no matter what the reason. That was Your Best Move! So pleased to hear you both still want to continue your travels in France, one at a time for now. My husband and I have visited Bayeux, Paris and Chamonix 5 years ago now. We truly were captivated by the western coast of France and by Paris itself. We are now planning another trip to Paris and Bayeux very soon and so enjoyed your adventure videos. But seeing to some very real health challenges before this undertaking. Life is short. Time to plan our adventures and be well and healthy first. Travel is for good health, not struggle. Looking forward to seeing more of your plans either for France or even Boca Ratan. Remember to shine where you find yourself. We have never seen Boca Ratan and would love to have an insiders view of where you may be in the moment. Only when you are up for it though. Love and light, Jean

Thank you so much, Ramon, for such kind words of encouragement. It means a lot and helps us to continue to move forward. We appreciate you and your support 🥰❤️💫

[@auntiewin1134]

So much to explore here. I’m in France now on a similar quest. I think if it hadn’t been for your knee mostly. You might have figured it out differently.Then the out of Paris letdown vis the more rural lol lifestyle in Versailles. You learned you want to be right in the action and I am also looking for that. I want to live over the store. You learned you have a tenderness for your Florida life and that is beautiful by itself. For many people I know widowed like me, that is enough to keep them somewhere. But for me, working it out as I am writing, traveling with my husband was possibly the source of our exhilaration of being together so hitting the road as I approach 80 is a way of being with him. And thanks for you being you! I feel like we’re all in the room together talking and working things out.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you, Wendy. We really appreciate your perspective and kind words.

[@KazakhAmerican619]

Thank you for your honesty! I am a new subscriber. I loved your previous videos. Being a true Francophile I was drawn to your content. But more so I am amazed by your honesty and vulnerability. Your style of narration is non agitating, not selling anything to me I didn’t ask for. So, I will stay subscribed. You both make a lovely couple. Hope you feel better and go back to Europe to enjoy your retirement.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks for subscribing. So glad to know you are enjoying the content. Thank you for your kind comments and we will be going back to Europe to enjoy our retirement.

[@terryhutchings7701]

Nothing is permanent, that's just life. I will be headed to France as soon as my home is sold. I have no illusions about it. I know there will be many days when I will be homesick and miss my family, but I know if I don't pursue this dream I will regret it forever. I will stay for as long as I love it. I would like to know the top three things you would do differently next time. Thank you!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks, Terry. We'll answer those questions in our next video!

[@juder515]

I’m so happy to see the two of you!! Go at your own pace and take care of yourselves. I’ll be standing by for whatever you share. ❤❤

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you for the love and support 💞

[@adelacortes958]

Thank you for letting us know. I was worried and wondering what happened. I love how real you guys are! Your videos are life in real time. Please take good care of yourself. Where ever and when ever you lead we will follow your videos ❤!

[@ciaobella8963]

Happy to see you together again. I have been single for almost 40 years (I'm 75 soon) and I enjoy change. Yes, the challenges are there, the adjustment is real, but there are only two types of people regarding this area, those who enjoy the stimulation of meeting new people, going to new places and absorbing a new culture fulltime, and those who don't, or can only manage a small dose of this type of immersion. My son who is married and has three children with his wife, he is the latter, and likes to make his place on the planet and stick to it, and in his case, the US. We are opposites in this way. So for the last decade, I did all the traveling back and forth to the US to stay with them for a few months each year. Now we are trying to find a better compromise so I can split my year up with 6 months in the US and 6 months in Italy. This is mostly for them I admit. And we all want my grandchildren to know who I am haha. I think finding a compromise between these two different types of people is important. I am just sharing my story with you and certainly not implying any application to your lives. But for sure, I really enjoy living in Italy and traveling in the EU. But on the other hand, the world is changing fast, and not for the better. So for me, I believe that each of us needs to trust God to put us where we need to be, and if that requires dramatic change, then He will give us the courage to do it. I hope you get better quickly KJ, and Tony, keep writing those blogs! 🙂God bless you both. 🌺

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and encouragement. We appreciate you, your kindness and your support. Good luck with your travels back and forth. God bless you and your family 🙏

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much!

[@vaidyaga]

Kudos to you both for having the courage to show your vulnerability ! I moved to Paris 3 weeks ago with my husband … we are in our 40s. We lived in India for a year before moving here. Prior to that, we lived in the US for 25 years. I never missed the US when I moved to India … however 2 days after I moved to Paris, I started missing india so much. I think I miss the warmth, the sun shine and the vibrancy of india. In comparison, Paris is very cold, cloudy and really rather organized and quiet. The homesickness comes in waves … and to add to this, my husband got shingles here. So we had to navigate the French health care system as well. My husband is slowly getting better … and I am struggling with my feeling of homesickness everyday. I hope these feelings settle down over time as I integrate more into this society and set up my own routine here.

[@betteurbain7911]

I've had shingles and they are so painful. The weather will improve and things will get busier. Best wishes to you!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Hi Gayatri - I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's shingles. Tony had shingles several years ago and it was awful. I'm also sorry to hear of your homesickness for India. Obviously, I can totally relate to how you are feeling and know how difficult those emotions are. There is definitely something to be said for the power of the sun. The weather change from when we were in Paris to when we moved to Versailles was significant and the sun was a rare occurrence. You are also facing some unexpected adversity, with the shingles and what you are having to navigate to address and cope with that situation. Give yourself some compassion and loving kindness, if possible. Also, are there any groups or resources that would help you feel more connected to India? Sending you love and prayers for your sadness to lift and physical healing for your husband 🥰🙏💞

[@vaidyaga]

@@betteurbain7911 thank you 😊🙏🏾

[@vaidyaga]

@@kjandtonylovefrance thank you 😊🙏🏾 yes i am trying to actively connect to the community here, to the activities I used to do back home etc. Absolutely agree with you that sun shine and warm weather are so so important. Maybe that’s why I never missed the US when I moved to India … I used to live in cold cold wisconsin 😀.

[@leeannmartin8406]

You are the most important person in your story, and you made the correct decision and get the help and support you needed, your a stormy days will lift as you heal with you amazing supportive husband and family, a minor glitch on the road thank you for sharing

[@joanbreva7251]

Having overcome depression 3 times in my life, I so relate to what you are telling us on your video. Whatever works for you, do it. Whatever makes you feel better, do it. There is so much help out there, so go for it and don't worry about what anyone thinks of you, your health is most important. Good luck in your decisions.

Thank you, Joan ❤️

[@anselbaby2851]

Hi, KJ and Tony! I missed you both, and was worried for you, since the last post. I'm cheering for both of you! Take care of YOU first! It's a learning experience and journey. I don't think it's you're a failure at all! I think that you have shared through your own experience of what to expect emotionally when one moves to another country. You formed beautiful memories with Tony and your son! I appreciated your sincerity for sharing your personal experience with your subscribers! Stay positive and healthy!

However, our plans had to change ! Slowly getting back to achieving our goals is what we are trying to accomplish now. I so appreciate your honesty & truly missed you both!

[@normaharrison3944]

Dear Ones: You did not fail! You learned something. You just simply took a detour. Having experienced something similar last year, I am back in the U.S. for a year. My son in law became ill and I came back to assist that young family. God has a plan for all of us. When I went to get my belongings out of storage, it was like Christmas times 100!!!! l love everything I had kept. Was it your intent to earn while you were in France? That changes the tax reporting burden. I am excited for your new plan and I will continue to wish and pray for your success and continued good health.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Hi Norma - Thank you for your encouragement and support. Yes, opening up the boxes from storage was very much like Christmas times 100 for me as well. And yes, I wanted to be able to continue meeting with my clients online, which really should not be considered making money in France, since it's making US money with US clients. That's one of the issues that makes France difficult for relocation. I'm only 58 and not ready to retire and give up making income. Malta and Portugal have digital nomad visas and I hope that France decides to allow this type of visa sometime in the future, since they are relatively new.

[@lizadivine3785]

[@HitchcockBrunette]

Your experience is NOT a failure! You did what you wanted to do, and were transparent and courageous enough to decide that something wasn’t working…, that’s amazing. What strength and also clarity and focus that takes… I’m so sick and burnt out by the MANY millennial KZbinrs having moved to France (on their families dime usually) vlogging about a life most of us can’t afford - it’s always felt so unauthentic. But never you two. Nothing is permanent and your dreams are always adapting and changing! Who knows what the future holds !! Most of all I am inspired by such transparency it’s so refreshing on this platform. My only suggestion would be - now is the time to truly immerse in French language studies as that will make a world of difference (I learned this the hard way myself!) I love Dr Stephen krashen’s language acquisition theory - incredible stuff… anyway, you guys are awesome and have inspired me ❤

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you so much, Anne. Yes, we have started French lessons 2x a week.

[@meri8746]

I never thought about it in any depth before this video. It made me realize, as much as I love watching the adventures and renovations in France, Italy and the UK, there is no way that I would leave my state, much less my country for another. Thanks for this video. I would also experience a huge homesickness that time could not heal. I would have to click my heels and say, “There is no place like home.” Glad you are feeling better! 🙏🏼

Thanks, Claudia. We appreciate your support and glad to know you enjoyed the music. One of the many aspects we love about France ❤️

[@H-bv1xt]

Really appreciate you making this video. All expats videos are about how great their new country is. I grew up in SoCal and I lived in UK for a year and half and after my first winter I knew it’s not the place for me. It’s not the temperature or the rain that killed it for me. I just couldn’t deal with the sun setting before 4pm in the winter. I’d imagine France is similar in the winter. But at least France has good food.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Interesting about your experience in the winter. I didn't care for the winter either, but I love the long days in the summer!!

Your experience both in France and here give those who don't dare to get out of their comfort zone a little kick to dare and just try... Out of the box type of experience. Bravo to you and Tony!!! I live in Miami and was always an avid explorer of other cultures. Especially France. Keep posting your thoughts and videos, you guys are doing great!

[@chericdesigns]

Just started following your channel in the last few weeks. Thank you for sharing your struggles so honestly. Take care of yourselves and don't worry about what others want or need. Post what you like, when you like! I think posting more footage of your time in France is a great idea. Maybe even share what you would do differently knowing what you know now or what you plan to do differently moving forward. I hope you get to visit France several times in the upcoming year back in the states. I look forward to catching up on past videos and hearing more from you both. Take care of yourselves and I pray you both have strength and wisdom as you move forward. Blessings to you both!

I kept looking for new videos and I am glad you have explained what happened. I feel sure you will return when the time feels right. Your health is definitely a priority. Paris will always be waiting. I appreciate your honesty about the homesickness. I love France ( we were there a month in 2014) and the allure is real. Also real is missing the comforts of home.

[@YT-Viewer]

Appreciate the transparency and honesty. I feel the value for me from your experience is that if one wants to consider such a move, maybe it's best to travel back and forth over time to know for sure if that move is what one would want. I imagine it would be hard on anyone making such a move, without having certainty from one week to the next. Glad you're better. I would love to see videos of Nice.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes, the traveling back and forth to determine where you want to settle BEFORE you move is definitely the way to go.

Hello KJ & Tony! It is so good to see the two of you back on your channel! I hoped you were well when your seemingly regular videos discontinued. So happy to see that you are well!
