Helping you build your successful life overseas

When I decided to go back to France, I figured it might be a good idea to get some professional advice - as they say, you don’t know what you don’t know.

When I spoke to Carole I took out my list of four questions, so easily answered, then I let her guide me to what I really needed to know.

My consultation with her allowed me to make a game plan which became an easy roadmap to navigate - that is as easy as French red tape can be.

Since I’ve been in France, I’ve heard many stories about nightmare consultants quick to have you cough up money but never deliver.

My advice: stick to a professional and let Carole do her magic, she knows her stuff.

Carole just gets it - she can relate and has such a wealth of knowledge and life experience in being an expat; relocating many times, having kids, and relocating them, and a partner who works away, not taking the traditional route and so being different to those around her.

She made me feel excited for the future rather than scared.

I felt stuck, trapped, alone, scared, so incredibly stressed and I really didn’t know what to do. I really needed some guidance.

After chatting with Carole, I felt more hopeful, optimistic, excited and knew that everything would be OK. That I’d look back one day and be proud of myself, and this made me feel more excited to adventure and explore rather than having a fear mindset.

This was our first move abroad and I contacted Carole early on in our moving plans.

Most of my anxieties were around the children and how the transition would impact them.

Carole helped me understand the bigger picture and the benefits this experience could provide, as well as preparing me to be ready for potential challenges. She also helped me understand that I'm not alone in this journey.

Speaking with Carole reinforced in me the need to have confidence in my own ability and that there is nothing that can't be navigated. Also, that not every step has to be perfect. There will be mistakes made along the way but it’s all part of the learning process.

There is much to learn from Carole through her own lived experience, and the insight she has gained from the many clients she has worked with over the years.

She offers a wealth of knowledge and experience to support someone taking this step, particularly for the first time, and guide them on their journey.

I felt very overwhelmed, unsure, lost, scared, worried. I was trying to work through the overwhelm of relocation, removals, education, medical, jobs, housing. Uppermost was the issue of uncertainty; of whether it was the right thing to do or not.

And then I found Carole! I had been searching for an expert to consult with and came across Carole and her websites.

I chose to work with her as I listened to her podcasts, read her articles and was impressed by her experience, knowledge, professionalism, and also her down-to-earth, matter-of-fact style, which I resonated with.

After working with Carole, I felt a sense of direction, reassurance, confidence, and connectedness. She helped me with a range of topics we discussed and helped me with contacts, links, direct information, and also her guide-books and lists, which are invaluable.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, at a loss, in limbo or alternatively know what you want but don’t know how or where to start, I would highly recommend contacting Carole. She is approachable, friendly, factual, professional and has a wide range of experience with an abundance of resources. You will not be disappointed.
