If you don't make it through the whole video, the takeaway is that the struggle is real when moving abroad to a country where you don't speak the language, but SO WORTH IT!!!! I hope you enjoy a little insight into how I ended up on this side of the world. If you'd like me to make a video about moving to London, give this comment a like!

Omg sounds like a fairytale at the start 🥰 how romantic

Moved to Paris because of love that’s such a sweet story

[@oldhollywoodangels]

You are so damn brave for doing all this, this is inspiring me to have tht courage. Ive always wanted to work a little bit in NYC or London but so scared to leave my family that Im close to

[@roblebby3765]

You are am absolute delight to watch and listen to speaking on a subject so near and dear to me. I make my first 'real' trip to Paris at the end of this month and I am really excited about it! Thank you for all of the great information!

[@jasmineruth7784]

Your earrings and eye makeup go SO well together :)

[@sarahcoleman6827]

Yes Bee!! Loved this video! You’re a great storyteller and I could listen to you talk about your life all day :)

[@glg3945]

Amazing experiences!! This was so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. I can relate to a lot of what you were talking about. I moved to 2 different foreign countries when I was a young mother of three. My husband at the time worked with people who spoke the same language. I on the other hand I had to learn to try and speak the language of the folks of that country. It was, as you said very hard. But I also have wonderful memories and my children learned the language and learned to respect other cultures, and see amazing iconic places. They went to school with children from all around the world. I love listening to you talk and share in your experiences. Thank you!! Love your look today!! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.

I've always wanted to move to Ireland, so this gave quite a bit of insight to how much prep is sensible beforehand, thank you!! Also, you and Val are so cute. :)

[@lolalola2592]

I love your voice and storytelling! Now I live in Melbourne because of a guy so we have a similar story 😉

[@shylarosethevintagelittleg590]

So excited to finish the video!!

[@YarX0]

Great video :) It was so interesting to listen to your story! I'd say just like with almost anything else - it won't be easy, but if you are determined and willing to work for it, it's definitely attainable. I moved on my own to the UK nearly three years ago and let me tell you that it was an adventure. I still have pictures of my old flat and the luggage I actually ended up moving with. It thought me two things: I can do anything I really set my mind on and also being far less attached to objects while still appreciating them, with the exception of memorabilia. For anyone else considering moving abroad: do your research, prepare (try not to move without savings or a back-up plan, especially if you'll need to provide for yourself) and do it. It might just turn out to be one of the best experiences of your life :)

This is sounding very familiar! I moved to Italy from Melbourne almost two years ago and it’s been the same for me, finding work, an apartment, language challenges (esp locals switching to English) and opening a bank account 😫. But totally worth it. And despite all the tricky stuff, way easier than getting a visa for your foreign partner to come to Aus.

[@Sammy-wh4eh]

You should do a similar video about your experience moving to the uk

[@RoopaDudleyPaintings]

You need to visit Miami, Florida - so much to do here.

[@anjaprachtstueckwerk7546]

Thank you for the great video! We might be visiting Paris soon and I´m wondering could you please recommend any nice vintage shops to browse, please? ( Preferrably not the highly expensive type.)

[@holoitsme4854]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing your story with us! Can you make a video about moving to the uk too?

[@berrol]

paris paris mais la Provence est si belle c'est là que vous auriez du déménager ;)

[@callemorgan]

This is wonderful! Love that you shared your Paris story💗

[@annekab6834]

Fun! You should still visit Montreal though, it’s lovely here :-)
