Jo-Ann is the child of a British army officer and says that she knew that she wanted to learn to speak French from an early age. During a year out between school and university Jo-Ann lived in Belgium with a school friend to improve her French. However, this was just the start, and now, after 4 départements and 8 moves Jo-Ann lives on a boat offering bilingual services to English speakers in France.

Jo-Ann’s story is an engaging and inspiring one which she shares in our interview.

We also dared to talk ‘Brexit’, and Jo-Ann offers perspectives and ideas on what Brits in France can be doing to protect their interests.
