Audrey Bruno reports on her own surprising shift from city chaos to countryside calm.
After years in New York and Berlin, she and her husband traded Berlin’s bustle for a French village of just 60 residents.
The slower life reshaped her habits, she learned to eat seasonally, linger over meals, and plan ahead for errands.
Work-life balance took on a new meaning too, as she embraced France’s “weekends are sacred” mindset.
Now living in Lyon, she keeps that rhythm close, savoring fresh markets, mindful dinners, and the quiet joy that came from slowing down her life.
My Take…
Retiring to a different country can give you a new lease of life. If you are thinking of doing it, just do it! Trust me, it could well be the best decision of your life 🙂
