I have friends I can visit worldwide, and after more than one visit, their cities begin to feel familiar. I can speak comfortably with people from all walks of life, and that’s invaluable in my job as a resume writer. It takes a lot out of me socially, but I am confident I could start a new life and find a like-minded community in any fifteen-minute city in the global north.

Can you try out somewhere else in the EU that isn’t France? I’ve lived in a few places, including Paris, and Paris was by far the most difficult.
