The Daily Whatever, June 19: Expat Dads in France 🇫🇷 with Rich Kagan
What's it like to dump your American life and live in France? Amazing.
Chat, who amongst us hasn’t had a moment where they’ve thought “You know, fuck this America shit. I’m going to sell my things and move my husband and adorable daughter to quasi-rural France and ride this shit out while drinking some lovely wine with a nice baguette and brie.”?
I have! Many times! And I don’t even HAVE a husband and an adorable daughter!
But Rich Kagan does, and he and his family have been in Carcassone, France (it’s not just a game! It’s a real place!)
We had a great convo—why they moved, how they did it, what it’s actually like.
Check him out, and then listen to our LIVE!
As always, our Chat is amazing.
