In episode #6, we're changing it up a bit and giving you the first of a new "accidental" series called ROTR Reacts. The "too much grief, and no joy" article has recently made the rounds in several expat/travel/"living in France" groups and we knew we had to give our two cents. There are many points in the article which of course resulted in a feisty episode for you to enjoy. If you missed the article, check it out here because we'd...
In episode #3, we are helping you get yo’ mind right to move abroad. There are many tactical things you have to do before you move abroad - getting the right visa, saving the coins, etc., but who you are as a person and how you will approach this experience are just as important. Are you a planner or a risk taker? Are you easily flustered when things don’t go as you expect, or can you roll with the punches? Moving abroad comes...
…and we’re back! It’s Season 2 of Riviera on the Rocks and in the first episode of the season, we’re talking about what it feels like, one year into our move-abroad journey. We’re coming off a hectic summer of visa renewals and the *really* warm temps but we’re still here (*maybe*) and excited about our upcoming episodes. While we welcomed the much-needed cool-down on the weather front, it’s an episode where we reflect on the...

In episode #10, we're bringing the curtain down on Season 1 of Riviera on the Rocks! We've had a lot of fun bringing the podcast to life and in this episode, we're doing sort of an “oh btw” and running it back on the things we meant to cover but didn’t get to - for one reason or another. Check it out as we share some perspectives on the results of the recent elections, highlights from our adventures exploring more of the South of F...
In episode #6, we’re writing a love letter of sorts to France. While we were thoughtful about our choices to move here, we couldn’t fully appreciate what was to come without being here, doing life on the daily in the French Riviera streets. In this episode, we give kudos or gold stars to some of our favorite things. Take a listen as we talk about the warmth of the people, and the vibrancy of the city now that we’re at the cusp of S...
In episode #5, we introduce the first edition of what we expect to be a fun series on culture shock. It’s one thing to vacation somewhere new and unfamiliar, but when you decide to make it your home, there are many things you need to be prepared for. This week we tackle the good, the bad, and the weird *ish* we’ve encountered on this journey so far. From the dog poop (yes, it is in fact, dog poop) to going to French integration cla...
In Episode #4 of ROTR, Alexis and Carley reminisce about the past 6 months living on the French Riviera. Find out how Carley spend her 1st day in Nice, how life in the center of Nice has changed their habits and overall how they are adjusting to their new lives. Will they stay or will they go?
In this week's 'what's on the rocks' Carley shares why she loves the "small packaging" available in France.
