Moving from SoCal to Paris
So I'm an 18 year old, I'm single, and I live in Southern California. I went to Paris, France back in spring of 2018, and I loved it very much. I've always wanted to leave the United States permanently and live somewhere with more culture and overall beauty. And I would like to live inside the city of Paris, within a decent walk there preferably.
I'm around an A2 in fluency, but working on it everyday and improving, with the goal of fluency.
I currently work at a Bath and Body Works, which is part time and pays around $1300 monthly, I know this won't cut it, and it's not even transferable. I also never went to college, just a high school diploma. I'm not sure if there's even a way to move there and get a job just like that. I do have a few thousand in savings and investments, but I'm not sure how far that'd get in terms of relocation and initial living costs while I try to secure a job situation. I know the costs of living are high, which is a concern for me.
I would be looking to live likely in a studio or 1br.
Reading some of the other posts on here I learned of some ways for the "triangle of doom", like Wise for getting a French "banking" or money situation, and AirBnB for the first few months I believe somebody mentioned. I'd just like to know more on the visa situation would work, because I remember learning years ago that that's one of the hardest parts. Something about needing a job to get a place to live but needing an address/place to live to get a job. Also some here mentioned needing a French phone number.
I'm also not sure how taxation works if I'm a U.S. citizen trying to permanently leave the U.S. to live in France. Is it true I'd still be paying the IRS here taxes while paying taxes in France?
Also I'll probably just bring 2 suitcases and a backpack or duffel bag for my move, leaving most of the things I own but don't need with my parents so they can still use things like my bed, tv, etc for guests. So I'd basically just bring myself and a few bags, not shipping anything.
This has been a dream of mine for years, I honestly am just hoping somebody might be able to tell me basically if I can or cannot do this. Thanks in advance!
