After years of corporate burnout and 4.5 years of nomadic living, I quit my job and booked a one-way ticket to France. With no plan—just a suitcase and a wild decision to let ChatGPT pick the town—I landed in a tiny town in the south of France, on the border of Provence.
In this vlog, you’ll join me on my second full day as I explore the weekly market, unpack my haul, and cook my first meal in my new home. This is a real look at what it’s like to move abroad alone, start over after burnout, and embrace a slower way of living.
Whether you're dreaming of solo travel, craving slow mornings in the French countryside, or wondering what it takes to reinvent your life—you’re in the right place.
