Anyone can teach you how to visit Paris. I can teach you how to live here.
After over a dozen years as an American “expat”, I’ve packed everything I learned the hard way into one guide — the bureaucracy, the banking, the unwritten social rules, and how to actually enjoy this city like a local. No fluff. No tourist tips. Just what works.
Begin your journey here.
Navigate your move effortlessly with practical advice on passports, visas, accommodations, and healthcare. I’ll guide you through packing tips, connecting to services like phone and internet, and much more. This comprehensive module ensures you’re prepared for every aspect of your transition to Paris.
From signing leases to setting up utilities and managing residency paperwork, I’ll help you handle the practicalities of moving. Whether it’s connecting with lawyers, enrolling in healthcare, or setting up a bank account, you’ll gain the tools to feel at home from the start.
Gain a local’s insight into the 20 arrondissements and the emerging “Grand Paris.” Learn to navigate France’s intricate public transport network—buses, trains, boats, and more.
