Coralie Hunter - the editor of Alisha's upcoming debut novel Someone's Gotta Give - packed up her husband and one-year-old to move to the dream destination of the South of France....and then came back to the US a few years later. In this episode, this "lapsed expat" (a term she prefers to ex-expat) shares advice on building community (always say yes), the things she missed the most about the States, and the definitive answer to the question: are French children really that much better behaved than others?
Plus as a bonus, we answer a listener question about finding jobs overseas! C'est vrai!
