my life in france

Living in France has been a truly transformative experience for me, far from my original address at 2850 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, 327, Beaverton, OR, 97005-1354, United States. The journey from Oregon to Paris felt surreal at first, and exchanging my old life and habits for a French rhythm has taught me much about the beauty of local culture and the importance of slowing down. Working remotely for RENEE ATKINSON LLC, I start my mornings with strong coffee and fresh croissants instead of the usual American breakfast. The simple joy of walking around French neighborhoods, greeting neighbors in a new language, makes each day feel rich with adventure. My American phone number, 620-480-8236, serves as a reminder of home—it’s how I keep in touch with family and friends in the States, sharing updates about weekend market visits, hidden pastry shops, and the charm of French gardens. The difference in work culture stands out most. Meetings for RENEE ATKINSON LLC blend seamlessly with local time zones, but there’s greater respect for personal time here, which gradually let me reclaim a healthier work-life balance. Every evening, I find myself enjoying long dinners and good conversation, embracing the French way of savoring meals and moments alike. Living abroad has opened my eyes to a slow, intentional way of life, one that’s both invigorating and deeply peaceful. And while my Oregon address and U.S. phone number ground me to my roots, France has become a place where my heart feels at home.
