Hi! I’m An Scott. I’m a happily retired woman just about to hit the big “7-0”, with my “golden years” on the horizon, living the “good life”, with my fun husband Jeff, and our “bossy” little Yorkie, Bella.
In April, 2024, when my husband retires, we are moving from the SW Florida, in the good old USA to Nice France tp live out our “golden years” on the sunny Mediterranean coast of southern France. Moving from the USA to a foreign country is no small “project”.
SUBSCRIBE, FOR FREE, to my channel and as we progress through the steps of doing that, you’ll be able to follow along through each stages of our preparation and then catch up with us, as we settle in to our new life. We might even have some information you’re going to need if you’re also planning a move to France (or the EU)
For now, come with us as we embrace our days and nights living everyday as though there is no tomorrow.

Thank you for this wonderful information. Question in regard to Medicare pausing. Can you pause it indefinitely or is there a time frame associated with that option? Also what are your intentions for handling the supplemental insurance? Can you- will you pause that as well? I am so excited for you two and to be following you on this adventure!!
You should consider cutting your opening down – it's a little too long and certainly could deter people to continue watching.
You should research Medicare and how that works if you pause/drop coverage. Not an issue if you aren't planning to move back to the US. Just be aware that they charge a penalty if you want to re-enroll – that never drops off. You'll pay higher every month for as long as you need it.
EXCELLENT video, An and Jeff!
Welcome in France, you are nice.According youtube, a lot of american are leaving their country too. The american dream is the french dream now 😁

I was wondering how did you find your rental prior to obtaining your long term visas??
Nice is a very good choice. Re climate: Yes, to my knowledge, events such as hurricanes did not happen. But I have seen snowfall in February/March. So be prepared. Key aspect for moving to a different country when retirement comes: Health care, providers and costs for retirees
I really enjoy you joie de vivre and the content. I must tell you that when you're standing, you tend to sway from one side to another , which makes me a little seasick. I really think you do a better job when you're seated. à bientôt!
So excited for you !!! Can’t wait yo follow your adventures! I’m looking to move to France in retirement as well ♥
I absolutely love your energy. I haven't watching your videos probably since you first started.
I have the same dream of moving to France, plan to do so with my family in early 2025.
I love your videos, I love that you're downsizing, I'm actually a real estate agent who helps seniors downsize to move into safer more manageable spaces so they can live a happier and healthier life. And it's a course different for everyone! And that's why it's different for you to move to France. And I applaud you.
My own parents are in their mid 70s and live in Minnesota and do not have the same ambitions as I do. Or the same as you. And I am so proud of you and love watching your story. Thank you for sharing it.
This has been a great episode. There are so many similarities. I, too, am looking at Nice (hopefully mid-2024). I’m a little north of you (Bradenton), so I am lockstep with you on the reasons of living in the US, especially FL. Looking forward to your episodes as you move to Nice. 😊
Great choice. I love Nice, the weather is fabulous and you can visit Paris on the train!
If u keep ur American citizenship do u still hve to pay taxes to US?
French here from near the Swiss border. We don't say bonjour monsieur or madame to everyone in a shop, wating room but say when enter " Bonjour Messieurs Dames " that do the job.
love this and it is my plan. subscribed!
Yes, Nice is an excellent choice. I also like the Netherlands. But the Winter weather is dreadful, constant rain. I also like that Nice is close to Italy and other beautiful places to visit. Now is the time to leave the USA. The country is in a very serious decline as you mentioned. A divided nation with a corrupt government.
Glad I stumbled on upon your channel. I am looking for my retirement spot. I love Lisbon. Visiting Nice this summer.
We're so happy to have you guys in France, hope you enjoy your time here, best to you
