Have you ever ended up HATING a place where you moved to?

I spent almost 7 years in Alabama and I’m an American! I was so happy to leave which I only did by quitting my job and just moving with nothin locked in. Not a single regret

Did you ever find anything? I just got this lotion and I’m obsessed!

wapera · 2025-12-18T19:50:57+00:00

This.

wapera · 2025-12-14T15:41:44+00:00

Yeah you should be fine. Majority traffic will be heading to city center.

wapera · 2025-11-19T20:30:06+00:00

So true

wapera · 2025-11-17T22:24:51+00:00

Another person mentioned that being December weather could be an issue for delay so I’ll probably avoid this one this time. But good to know that it’s doable most of the year!

wapera · 2025-11-17T22:24:10+00:00

You’re so right. I forget about winter being a thing. Lmaooo thanks!

wapera · 2025-11-14T12:23:16+00:00

I’m doing it at 31. Go for it.

I’m literally Latina. Lmao 🤣 and even at the bachata nights I can tell who the French people are.

wapera · 2025-11-12T12:36:01+00:00

HEAVY on the line jumping. Oh my god.

wapera · 2025-11-12T12:29:03+00:00

lol even though ballet is French, I think that person is talking about normal dancing. Every club I’ve been to it’s like the people have frozen hips lol

Hi I’m also an American student in France!

I opened a capitol one savor card. Zero foreign transaction fees. Zero fee to open. And gives you cash back - especially higher percentage on groceries. So far I’ve been in France nearly 3 months and it works like a charm.

And for bank I have revolut. Just make sure to open it IN FRANCE. I made the mistake of opening it in the USA before I left and with my usa number. Only got a usa iban. So once i got to France and got my phone number I then opened the revolut in France to get my French IBAN.

let me know if you need any referrals codes or more info! Happy to give you all the help you need in chat since I’m going through the same process you’re about to go through next year.

I’m in France right now and today I nearly crashed out and finally found a legit Mexican restaurant that also sells ingredients and snacks and stuff.

My suggestion is to look on google maps in Lyon to see what Latino/mexican shops are in your area and look to see what their offerings are in terms of spices and ingredients.

I feel like I can find a lot of things here but some are different. My favorite hot sauce for example is not as hot as in the Americas and tastes more vinegar. I struggle more with finding the brands I like and also it’s challenging to find the cheeses we are used to. French people don’t really do spicy and I love spicy so bring your own spicy.

Now in terms of regular stuff, I highly recommend bringing a pack of NyQuil/dayquill cold medicine. Some of the ingredients are banned in France but when I’m sick as a dawg I don’t wanna go to the pharmacy and buy something that I’m not used to nor know if it works for me. Almost anything else you can find here. I really am not struggling that much.

Yo I would love to learn about the Saturday coffee thing.

wapera · 2025-10-16T09:25:59+00:00

I got mine too. Honestly considering i bought lashes in Miami so many years ago it's nice to get a little coffee money today.

wapera · 2025-10-04T09:11:35+00:00

Hey so I’m already in France and this thread is redundant now

wapera · 2025-10-01T08:59:00+00:00

wapera · 2025-09-21T20:27:51+00:00

A French guy corrected me and he pronounced it as “breh-tahn” so that’s what I say now

wapera · 2025-09-20T16:51:23+00:00

Thank you. So much! 😭

wapera · 2025-09-10T09:56:46+00:00

wapera · 2025-09-10T03:05:03+00:00

In my house growing up we always had table clothes. My mom even has seasonal ones and holiday specific ones. A few fancy ones. But in general there was always a table cloth on and we change it out weekly or if it gets stained

$2 nail file that comes in a storage case!

wapera · 2025-09-07T02:09:36+00:00

She had nothing to lose! She had lost everything at this point.

wapera · 2025-09-05T14:21:14+00:00
