Joshua Balata moved from India to France nearly a decade ago, thinking he’d just get a degree, he ended up learning French, working at L’Oréal, and building a whole new life — all while making videos about the ups, downs, and awkward in-betweens of expat life. In this episode, we chat about how he learned his languages, why he picked up a camera, and what it’s really like to build a second home in a foreign country.
