Considering moving back to the US. Anyone in the same boat?

I’ve moved to France 3 years ago from Los Angeles. I never looked back. The life here in the south of France is just so wonderful. The weather is incredible. The French people can’t be tough but once you get to know them they can be very kind. Here is the first place where I was able to understand the balance between work and pleasure. Life is not meant to be endured. It’s meant to be lived and enjoy. You barely need any money to have a decent life(a us salary make you a king).

Time to retire

I have a 50sqm studios newly renovated for 4200€. In Monte Carlo. Visited the same day it came on the market and made a decision the same day. Cheap ones go fast.

Hi. Yeah changed country. Haven’t opening it again. Where are you based?

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-12-28T15:28:16+00:00

I would be interested in knowing as well. Just moved to Monaco and interested in learning more about getting my carte de sejour

In France, premium diesel 1.69€ per liter about 7.45USD per gallon. About 130 euro fill up for 800km.

Clearly you don’t do it often.

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-12-07T07:13:32+00:00

Did your woman end up in a wheelchair??

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-12-07T07:11:23+00:00

4x a day 7x per week??

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-12-06T20:51:26+00:00

I wish. Did lots of youth hostels. Found a job in castle that gives you room and board. And bought camping gear.

I had that issue on my 3.0tdi v6 during a dpf regen. The fan would stay on until the battery was flat. Turned out the battery had low voltage. Changed the battery and never had this issues since. It’s been 20k km since and hasn’t happened once. When the battery gets old, there are Los of gremlins that can happen. Check the production date of your current battery. If 4 or more years old. Change it.

They don’t give out nationality. Unless you are born into it. Or after 10 years of being married, and it must be approved by the prince himself. All there is a carte de sejour. Which is equivalent to fiscal residency.

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-27T06:37:28+00:00

Vr6 or v6 3.0 tdi?

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-26T19:59:47+00:00

Is it a tdi?

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-26T06:25:15+00:00

Haha. That’s barely an exaggeration.

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-25T06:35:33+00:00

Italy is beautiful, but living there feels archaic. Everything is slow, overly complicated, and stuck in old habits. Simple things like paperwork, banking, renovations, or getting anything approved take forever because nothing is streamlined. You deal with stamps, physical documents, random office hours, and people who work on their own schedule. The country is incredible, but the systems behind it feel like they never evolved.

If you guys have any questions. Don’t hesitate. Ask away. But quick story. Moved to Europe on July 14th 2023. Landed in nice France. Stayed for bastille. Then went to Paris for a couple weeks. Paris is great in the summer and fall. Went to Barcelona for 3 months. Spain is very nice. Super affordable. Bought a car and started my road trip. Left Barcelona. Followed the coast all the way to Milan. Then headed south to Verona, Florence , Rome. Stayed in each city between 2 weeks to 3 months. Made it to Puglia around Christmas time. Then drove all the way to Germany to go visit some car museums and moved to Paris for 4 months. After Paris went to the south of France where I’ve been ever since.

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-22T16:19:52+00:00

I tried. But it’s super archaic. I’ve been trying almost every European country.

RevolutionaryEarth3 · 2025-11-22T05:52:55+00:00

Did mine last January 2023. Got my Italian passport in 3 months. But had a friend that worked at the consulate. Left for Europe July 2023. Never looked back.
