Is moving to South of France from the UK worth it?
Hey guys, I’ve come on here to seek genuine, honest advice from anyone who has moved from the UK to France ( the south specifically ) or even a French resident.
My dilemma is that I am an 19 year old girl who has a year to do anything. In this I can either go UCL in London in September, or instead explore other options. As much as I would love to travel, unfortunately i do not have the funds to sustain that for a year. I have roughly £1000 in savings.
After visiting the south a couple of times , specifically nice and Monaco ( I know it’s its own country), I have fallen in love with the country/ cities. I understand that these locations can be quite costly so I don’t plan on moving to these specially, but somewhere close would be nice. Job wise, I understand this will probably be the hardest factor but I am literally willing to work anywhere (serving, tutoring, nannying, office) I would love a job as a waitress or in a cafe but this is quite a dream. I have previous work experience as a server and a barista if that helps my case. I am just seeking a normal job to help pay my rent and daily costs etc. Language wise, I am willing to improve my French by taking lessons over the summer.
Apart from this, it’s genuinely just a dive into a new experiences as I know I always have my parents to come back to in the UK. So asking for genuine / honest advice if you think this move is worth it.
If yes, please let me know of the visa logistics such as fees and how long the process is,( I am British ) and job opportunities. I know I might sound ladi dadi da through this post (lol) but nothings impossible 🤷♀️. Also I would love to hear your guys’ experiences. Any advice is appreciated, sorry for the lengthy post.
Thank youuuu
