This podcast is a must listen for any one interested in the expat life or who is interested about hearing about life in another culture from yours

Many thanks for your well organized ‘talk’ - I’m a boomer and I love how so direct friendly and authentic the discussion on life for any Francophile 🩷🩷🩷🩷
