In this episode, Sophie and Jordan are finally back together behind the mic — catching up after a whirlwind stretch of travel that took them from Paris to London to California. They share their favorite Paris discoveries, from hidden hotels and perfect fries to their go-to Lebanese spot and the surprisingly luxurious Italian train that connects Aix to Paris. The conversation then jumps across the Atlantic as they recount their California adventures — tacos, sunsets, ice cream, and the joy (and exhaustion) of working while traveling.

Back home in France, they dive into real life again — jet lag, parenting twin toddlers, and navigating the quirks of the French school calendar. Sophie and Jordan also answer listener questions about expat life: from whether French bureaucracy or the French language is harder to master, to what’s in season at the fall markets, and how healthcare works in France compared to the U.S. Their honest, funny reflections give a glimpse into the highs, hiccups, and heart behind building a new life abroad.

Whether you’re dreaming of moving overseas or just love hearing how others make bold changes work, this episode blends travel inspiration, practical insights, and the relatable chaos of expat family life. Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of French wine) and settle in for stories of Paris charm, California comfort, and the real realities of life between two worlds.
