Salut!! My favorite Rosie from NotEvenFrench joined me today to talk all about moving abroad for love! We spill the tea on our love stories and whether or not it was worth it! This video is definitely one of my longest, butttttt it's so easy to chat with Rosie! Let me know below your international love stories! Xx
I've probably mentioned mine before, but I met my boyfriend in Le Café des Chats in Paris.😻Watching this the day before I fly to France for two months to be with him. ;)
I love that you guys are still doing videos together from across the world. Two of my favorite youtubers at once!
Thanks Ben!!!
I loved hearing yalls stories about moving for to France for love! I met my french boyfriend this year during my last semester of college. He was studying abroad at my university and it was like fate meeting him (on Valentines Day in fact). Then the pandemic hit and his trip got cut short in March when he had to return to France. Even tho we had only known each other for one month, we both knew it was love and we wanted to continue building a relationship. Almost 7 months later, I managed to make my way to France to be with my love once more. I’ve been here since October and will be leaving in January. Its been the best decision I’ve made for myself. Of course I was scared before coming because like what if things didn’t work out once I moved in with him here? But in the end all has been nothing but success and love. I don’t quite know what we’re going to do once I go back to the US but we have talked about it and are quite committed to being with each other asap! Thanks for the videos and community space to be able to talk about this kind of stuff! ❤️
Ahhh this is so sweet Melissa! Glad to hear you already made the plunge and you aren't regretting your choices at all!!!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified thanks for the reply! ❤️
I just moved here for my French husband. It is so true about feeling like you lose your identity. I don’t speak the language, I’m out of work and don’t have my support system here. It’s really difficult but my husband is so good to me and is worth this big move. I can’t wait to see more positives while living here in the South of France, it will definitely come easier when I speak the language.
You must learn the language ! whatever the country . Then things gonna be easier. Have a good luck ! :-)
It will absolutely get easier Sam and I so feel for you! The beginning is always the hardest. The comments other people gave you are so true. Learning the language is the first step and finding some of your own friends (even if they aren't french) are your second!!
There is a Polyglot club in Aix, you should get in touch with them. I don't know of the conditions right now with the COVID though.

@@claude_1c74 yes! I am definitely working on it. Thank you🙂
@Peter S thank you so much for your tips! I really appreciate it! I am already a part of some expat groups on Facebook but because of Covid and the Confinement it’s difficult. I will definitely start taking your advice, thank you so much.
I love hearing your stories! 🖤🖤I met my French boyfriend last year while I was living in Brittany for the TAPIF program. Now I’m doing my master’s in Germany and since my boyfriend can work remotely, we’ve been enjoying our life in Germany together :) As both of you said, it’s incredible how going abroad can really transform your life in unexpected ways.
Wow! Sounds amazing, especially the move to Germany after living in France, with the Frenchie!! You guys are both on the adventure train together! :)
Very interesting topic! I did it the other way around, I moved from France to Canada to study and fell in love there but I had to go back to France to finish my master's degree. It was literally heart breaking, but I managed to move back to Canada again. It didn't work out in the end, but I don't regret my decision. I still live in Canada now and as you said it really changes who you are and how you see your life. I come from a small town in France and living abroad wasn't something I ever thought I'd do but it happened and it's opened so many opportunities and showed me there is so much I can do.
Oh girls, you almost made me cry. It's so emotional when you speak about your experiences and what was life changing about them.
Salut. I made the trip in the opposite direction. I left France to move to the US almost 20 years ago to be with my American girlfriend, now wife, after two years of long distance relationship. But it is amazing how similar my pros and cons would be. And at the end, even if it was not easy to give up my career and to left my family, I have no regret and would do it again if I had too.
Your stories are so inspiring!! You two really define resilience and living your best life. Maybe you’ll write a book one day! I would definitely buy it!!!
Oh gosh! The video made me smile! I have not much in common with France but I did move to another country for love, and even though it is within the EU and not that far away, I definately agree on every point you mentioned! I mean, the experience lets you grow in a way that probably would not have been possible back home. It makes me do things I'dnever thinkg were possible in the first place (or that was the case for me at least). Also I really felt it when you talked about the change in the identity. Before the move I had a great life, after the move I all of the sudden became the foreign girlfriend, and then had to work hard to build a new life here for me and a new, blended identity. And I also enjoy sharing this new culture with others. Great video! :)
Thanks Marta! So glad you enjoyed it and i'm not surprised to hear that you felt a lot of the same stuff even if it wasn't France. There are so many similar feelings when you move anywhere new for love!
You two together is just the perfect mix :) Really enjoyed the video and thanks for being so honest!
OMG im so glad you two did a vid together again!! MISSED you two together! Hark back to the Parisian diet days hahah
Just discovered you're channel,what a lovely bunch of ladies you both are.great discussion.🌷
I was hoping you two would do this video - so great you did! :)
kate! i love your dress! you're really upping your fashion game ^^
You are living my dream!!! I love your channel !! It’s my dream to move to French and teach Braille !!! You are such an inspiration to me!! ⠽⠕⠥ ⠎⠓⠊⠝⠑ 🇫🇷 ✨♥️
You gals made my day. Lovely lovely stories!
Thanks so much for this ladies! It's reassuring to hear your perspective about moving to France. I've had the similar feelings about the move.
Yes to feeling like I disappeared when I got here to France. His friends, his job, his apartment, his things...where am I in all this? Yes, to having the move change me in such positive, insightful ways. Yes to not seeing myself with a "good old Canadian fella" again. (once you have Frenchie...so prejudiced lol). Yes to coming to love French culture, being changed and fascinated by it.
I came to this much later in life than you both. Before my adventure, I had the family, owned a business, the house, two cars, two kids, then got divorced. After rediscovering myself and my life, when I started dating again, I met someone online (At first I thought I was being catfished) and had recently quit my job. We got to a point where it was either let's meet or go our separate ways, so I said, "Why don't I visit you?" I hopped on a plane three weeks later, and voila! Three years after that, I am in France. By the way...I don't recommend long distance relationships. It was hard when I first got here, and wondered if all the magic was in my head, but then again, when you move in with anyone, there is an adjustment period.
Thanks for your openness. Bisous.
such sweet stories, thanks for sharing xo
I loved this video, thank you both for sharing. I moved to France 9 months ago for love too and I don't regret it at all, I'm very happy with my boyfriend. But because I haven't found a job yet, it gets very frustrating. I quit a really good job at Mexico and here I fell that I have to start all over again.
Stay Strong Elizabeth! Keep looking for the job and finding your independence with small things and i promise it does get easier!!
Your videos are always fun and interesting, but this is my favorite one so far, and it’s so wonderful to see you and Rosie together! More collabs, yay from Texas!!! My husband is French and we’ll be moving back when the kids graduate in a few years! Not sure where we’ll end up but likely in the south or on the Mediterranean coast, we’ll see but it’s exciting! Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks Melissa! i'm so glad that you enjoyed it! And I'm a huge fan of the town Sete if you want recommendations for the move :)
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified Thanks, we’ll look at it! We are hunting to buy a viaget as an investment and then “someday” use it as an air bnb, but are taking our time to find a great deal in an ideal vacation location, so Sete might be a contender! Nite nite to you guys in France 😘
Love this collab! You two are my favorite TH-camrs!
Thanks Julia! Rosie is my absolute favorite youtuber too :)
I just feel you - having: two homes, two languages, two parts of me - the heart in two places... I'm a French girl living in Austria - and I really feel everything you said.
Love these conversations!!
Thank you!
Such a refreshing video! I'm also an American who moved to France 5 years ago to be with her Frenchie. We're married and I have a job I like now, but I really did have to completely remake my life!
i like that your husband thought about you and your security first when moving abroad. and if you two worked out, well, thats the cherry :)
Exactly! I think in the long run, we really worked out because I had some of my own things going on too!
Unrelated question, but how was it like to move to France at 19 yo and suddenly become an "adult", able to go to bars and drink beers, wine and whatever you want, knowing that you couldn' t do that before 21 yo back home.. Were you super shy and responsible or did you go like crazy for the 1 st month ?? About moving abroad, i was just so proud of myself looking back because i was able to succeed in a country with a different language from mine.. Everything is different.. Growing in France, you know the codes, you have your social security number, you know how to look for a job, do interviews, write your CV.. Abroad it' s different.. Everything is new.. Your phone provider, banks, websites to apply for a job or look for a place to stay.. Being able to succeed abroad makes you a 100 % sure that you can succeed back home, it just feels so easy after that.. And you realise that you could always tell yourself that it might not be that hard to do it (move abroad, find a job, a house, make friends), but you realise how wrong you were once you actually do it.. Same difference between thinking that you can run a marathon and actually running it
Good question. Honestly, i wasn't that crazy when i could officially drink in France because I wasn't exactly following the law in the US when i was underage so it wasn't like a ridiculous amount of freedom. But with that being said, i was ABSOLUTELY enjoying the study abroad life and all the partying that went with it :) And I completely agree with you that I was the most proud of the actual language speaking skills i managed to learn during my time there and that i was successful with it!
Rosie, I understand what you mean about the guilt part. I think it's one of the major reasons my own marriage ultimately didn't work out--my wife was from China and she probably felt guilty about choosing me over her family, and in her culture that's an even bigger deal than in the Western one.
That can be really hard. I'm sure culture plays a big role too.
I hear so much of my story in both of your stories. I miss France terribly when I the US and vice versa. Moving to France changed my life and helped me to learn so much about myself.
So glad you can relate and you enjoy! :)
Loved hearing your stories! Hopefully I have one of my own.
You seriously never know!!! Glad you enjoyed :)
Your new-found french accent sounds so cute ! You are putting "-euh" at the end of certains words, as I've noticed in a couple of your videos, and I am not sure you are aware of it already. Are you ? :-)
I seriously didn't realize it! Hahahah. But my boss is Irish now and I think i'm picking up a bit of her way of speaking now too!! I'll be a franco-american-irish mix!
Thank you for your honesty! We can totally relate to not feeling 100% satisfied with one country or the other. Two homes, two hearts are three homes and three hearts for us since the two of us come from two different countries and have decided to settle in France! Anyway, beautiful stories!
I can't even imagine what it must be like to feel like to have three homes and three hearts! It's such a balance game right? You've got to do your best to bring the things you love from the other places to France when you can!
Thanks for this video! I think I'm following your life path, Kate haha I'm also a Midwesterner who did TAPIF before deciding to come back to France for a master's (but really for a Frenchman). Struggling with a lot of the same problems you guys talk about - guilt for leaving family, identity crisis, things being different under the light of an "everyday life" - which are all exacerbated because of the pandemic... Glad to see you guys on the other side of these struggles, and I will keep having an open mind ! (Do you speak in French or English with your husband, btw?)
It's so normal Suzanne. I completely feel you trying to adjust and build your own life here and deal with the pandemic. It gets easier, i promise!!! Robin and I speak French together, but he speaks english really well so i can and do sometimes, switch to english when i feel like it!
Yes, I do agree. If you live abroad, you'll have to live with this paradox. Your heart will constantly miss those who are away from you, due to the long distance. Fortunately, nowadays, we have ZOOM and so on. Those video-conf. tools help. For instance, yesterday, I video-met with friends living in Germany, Singapore and New Jersey, who I met when I worked there. Anyway, I am still missing having them beside me for a drink, etc. Great video !!!
So so true! When i first moved to France, video calls were not a thing at all. They have totally changed things!
You have both such a ton of good sense of humor! Would you like to share one day how this sense of humor was received in France?
I love that dress on you. Where did you get it? P.s. adorable video.
My husband and I are both American (although I also have dual citizenship with the UK even though I had never been there until 2019). We’d be traveling full time in Europe if it weren’t for the fact that we have a custody schedule with my husband’s ex wife that prevents us from moving abroad with the kids. In about 10 years we can move abroad and we can’t wait. I had never really left the country before (other than like an hour or two over the Canadian border when I was 8, before you even needed a passport to get in), and then we went to Europe in 2019. Before we left, I remember telling my husband I was scared to go because it would change everything. I knew how heavily I’d get bit by the travel bug and how I would want to stay in Europe. It’s funny, because I didn’t know I was a dual citizen my whole life, but from a very young age I was obsessed with the UK and Ireland and always felt like Europe was calling me. Going there only made that feeling stronger. I am counting down the days until we can go again, and until we can move to Europe. My husband is a web developer so it’s very easy to work remotely. Someone from my husband’s team at work just got hired by a company in Finland and is moving there with his family and we are SO jealous.
On a note more related to the video, I married a foreigner the first time around. He was Brazilian and I loved him more than anything but after 7 years of marriage and when I was 7 months pregnant with our second child, he left, and we were divorced within a month. 10/10 would not recommend 😂
With a Bristih passport you will be able to stay only in UK
Sounds like such an exciting plan for the move to Europe!! All good things come in time! :)
"I accidentally fell in love." 😄😍
Two great stories.
16:03 so sadly true Rosie. I moved to Australia for 3 years to be with my Aussie boyfriend (Husband now) ... then came back in France for my family. Then moved to England with my husband so he can finish his studies/degree in English ... then move back to France .... I appreciate that my husband has been separated from his family the longest, for so many years now... sometimes I take it for granted, how come I ever forget about it when I was in the very same situation. I feel guilty too for his "sacrifice" . He loves me so much , and I believe for this reason, I love him even more.
Yeah it's like night and day I've noticed it too with the men just in casual encounters.
Love thiiiiis. I feel like I’m with my girlfriends 😂🍷
Wow! Best crossover ever! Infinity War has nothing on you.
Hahah thank you!!
Relatable
To be fair it's not like France did much to give New Zealand a good impression, right ? So being curious, open-minded and welcoming to french expats is quite nice.
I feel like as soon as you have moved abroad and you've been in the position of being the new person on the block, you tend to be naturally more curious, open minded and welcoming to expats too!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I think Amélie refers to the Rainbow Warrior affair > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior
The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was a bombing operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE), carried out on 10 July 1985. During the operation, two operatives sank the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior, at the Port of Auckland in New Zealand on its way to a protest against a planned French nuclear test in Moruroa. Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship.
Several political figures, including then New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange, have referred to the bombing as an act of terrorism or state-sponsored terrorism.
Im not moving for Love in France... But, If it comes, neat
Perfect attitude to have! It good be an extra plus to an adventure but it's not neccessary to enjoy a move abroad!
I wonder if some of us watching this have thought of moving to France to FIND love. :-p
❤❤
The best part about France is that it's close to Italy allowing to chase the sexiest men on earth in the near vicinity
Very true.
Bonjour.
Merci de nous faire partager vos expériences.
Vous avez raison au sujet de la richesse. Ma grand mère disait des grippe sous : "Ils n'emporterons pas leur argent dans la tombe !"
Nous sommes riches de nos amis, nos enfants, nos expériences.
Je vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde.
Cordialement.
félicitation pour ta nationalité
Merci beaucoup! Trop trop contente :)
Why Pierre wasnt a good fit?? For which reason specifically?? He was agressive, boring, not concerned by you, distant??? Thanks for your answer.
He must have had other girlfriends up his sleeve while away.
trés mignon .j espére que vos maris se rendent compte de la chance qu ils ont .;o)
Merci!
The term " frenchified " doesn't sound very Parisean. 🤷
Oh ok girls stuff I'm leaving
Hahah, i can't disagree!

Bonne idee!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified bad idea
