    Fiona - Moving to France to escape the rat race and give a better childhood to their kids

    Fiona - Moving to France to escape the rat race and give a better childhood to their kids

    Being raised in a mixed culture, Fiona grew up welcoming both France and England as her home. While Fiona lived in France during her childhood, she was still aware of her English background and culture through her mom.
    When Fiona entered university, she decided to leave France and pursue her studies in the UK instead. Fiona felt more comfortable living in England than in France, but things startlingly shifted when she had kids.
    With the social and political issues England faced, like racism and the Brexit vote, Fiona chose to leave the country and go back to France. This significant change was not easy to make, acknowledging their kidsโ€™ reaction and willingness to do so. Moreover, moving back to France was a choice that Fiona is so grateful for. Despite her doubts along the way, Fiona and her family got welcomed with positive outcomes and a more settled home that gave them security and satisfaction.

    NEED HELP TO MOVE ABROAD?

    Leaving your country, family and friends can be very scary. On top of that, there's a lot of uncertainty. "What am I going to do when I get there? Can I afford it? How can I find a job? What visa do I need?" Those were some of the questions I asked myself when I left my country. Now 8 years, 2 countries later and many interviews with people who've done it, I can help you do the same.
