Australian moving
Bonjour and hi and salut
I don’t speak French 🇫🇷
I am a 31 year old Australian guy looking to make the move north to Europe sometime in the future. I’m looking to live in a small rural town that has a great connection with nature and more likeminded people.
I am neurodiverse and have felt a bit bullied here in Australia. I have found social groups here to be often quite shallow and focused on group values over the persons individuality. I have found it hard to find my niche bubble of friends as of yet.
My values are very opposite to my society and so I can really trigger people here in my home city of Melbourne with my worldview
My values system is very anti-neoliberal and I believe very strongly in a social democracy and strong welfare state. I believe the individual is much more important than group harmony. I am very work to live and feel very out of place in a culture that is constantly talking about career and ‘living’ at a fast pace. I am very spiritual and believe in a lot of ‘new age’ spiritual beliefs. I have travelled to Europe before and found I related more to Europeans as a general rule than I do to Australians. In France, I have only been to Paris for a few days so I have no France experience except YouTube. On YouTube I have found places like Huelgoat, Brittany to look like my sort of place. Does anyone have any advice for me to explore this sort of life change? Obviously I will learn French if I were to move there one day. Any advice on how people in regions like Brittany can treat neurodivergent people? Whether there are many neurodiverse people that are attracted to these smaller villages? A lot of my friendships have been with adhd people and I find adhd people are often attracted to bigger communities. Are people in Brittany very welcoming of Australian expats? Any advice in general? Thanks and merci 🙏
