Anybody can make a drastic life change. Maybe it’s always been your dream to live in another country, perhaps your current lifestyle feels unaffordable, or you’re looking to get more for less. It’s never too late to rewrite your story—I’m proof of that.

In the spring of 2023, my husband and I (along with our dog, Lucy, and cat, Poe) sold our home, car, and nearly all of our belongings to move from the United States to Europe. We initially settled in Spain, but after some time, we realized it wasn’t the right fit for us. That’s when we decided to relocate to France and found our perfect home in the charming city of Montpellier.

If you’re considering a move to France or feeling unsettled after making the leap, I’m here to help. As an optimist and DIYer, I’ve navigated the challenges of relocating, including the visa process and preparing for life abroad. Let me help you turn your dream into reality!
