Why France?

It’s actually a bit of a long story…

              Here is the sweet and short version. In 2018 I quit my job in production management in television, left Bristol and went traveling. Along the way I had many wonderful experiences and met many inspiring people. Almost all of whom could speak another language.

Reason #1 – Learn a second language.

Upon returning from my travels in Asia I decided to return to a second passion of mine – cycle touring. And proceeded to cycle through France from south to north. Along the way I bumped into reasons #2 and #3. After stoppping for a sandwich in the Loire Valley, I got chatting and was handed a business card for the cycle touring company that I would go on the work for.

Reason #2 – Find a job you are passionate about.

And upon finishing my ride in St Malo I called up a man I’d met in Asia, knowing he lived somewhere in Brittany. He said “Don’t move. I’m coming to see you.” And showed up to my hotel 30 mintues later.

Reason #3 – Fall for someone you love.

              After that, as they say, whoever they are, the rest is history.
