The 5 Decisions Big Dreamers Make Before Their Franceformation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798638001414)

When you dream of moving to France, I know you're not just dreaming of living in a place where you can eat a cr pe au Nutella while walking down the street, casually stop for a glass of wine at the terrasse of your neighborhood caf after work, or go to a museum any time you want, although those are all significant advantages. You may dream of travel, of universal health insurance, or of various aspects of French culture, but often, what you truly want, is your ability to be more yourself. You move because of the feelings you want to have and experience when you create this new life. You move to let go of the baggage and disappointments of how your current life doesn't meet the expectations you set for yourself, You don't move to a new country for universal healthcare - you move because you want the freedom of pursuing your art or music without the burden of fearing that breaking your arm or getting into a minor car accident will bankrupt you. Aspiring to move to France - for several years, or permanently - rather than simply travel there, means that deep down, some part of you feels like you'll feel more at home, or more yourself, when you live in France. You believe it will make you happy, or bring you peace, enabling you to live the life you envision for yourself in a way that your current location can't.You may move to travel during retirement or during a gap year, but you are able to do so knowing that you will feel security, because the cost of living is low.Maybe you want to begin a new challenge or start a new adventure. If your current life - job, and town, and the humdrum of your daily activities - no longer excites or invigorates you, you may be anticipating that the challenges of traveling, settling in a new country, conquering the bureaucracy, and discovering new activities in a new language will stimulate your mind and your senses, expand your horizons, and breathe new life into your creative spirit. Maybe you feel like your opportunities are limited, and grieve a place you feel like you no longer belong.Whatever your situation, you've wondered if there's more. If it would be possible to live in one of those old European cities you've visited and fell in love with, and what that would mean for your life and your career. You know in your heart that it must be possible - that other people do it, move abroad and become expats, but maybe you've never imagined that it could be you. You've just hoped.And you're reading this book because you want to find out if it could truly be possible for you. The idea of leaving behind your current life situation for a new adventure abroad excites and invigorates you, but you have no idea where to start. The stakes are high: it's your life, after all, but reading this book is a tiny step towards discovering what else is out there for you. Whether living abroad - living in France - is a passing fancy for you, or whether you've thought about it for years, you are beginning to wonder how to stop dreaming and start actually planning to make it happen.
