How realistic is it for a broke 20-year-old American to move to France, and what would I need to make it work?
Hi, I'm 20 years old, born in America, and I can't take living in my city anymore. I don't think moving to France will be some utopia or easy by any means. But I'm willing to take a shot in the dark. The most common thing I see on this subreddit, as well as on others around this topic, is obtaining a visa. This isn't a problem for me since my father was born in Paris, France, so I have a French passport. Also, I should mention I can't speak any French, but I grew up around it my whole life. I want to know what I can do and how easy I can get a job. I have around 5k in my bank account, and I realize that's not much to live on, so I'm willing to work basically anywhere. I was thinking a tobacco shop or an English bar where I don't have to know tons of French. I'm looking for any advice on this. If anyone has been in a similar situation, it would be greatly appreciated if you had advice or just anything about your experience.
