Why We Are Raising Our Kids Outside of the US

from Away We Go We Go · host Sophie & Jordan Epton

In this fun episode of Away We Go We Go, I take you through my crazy week as I balance work, parenting, and getting everything ready for a last-minute family trip to California. I open up about the wild ride of raising twins in France, like late-night photo shoots in lavender fields and the toddler tantrums that come with keeping kids up past bedtime for one great family moment.I also talk about why Jordan and I decided to raise our kids outside the U.S. We love the benefits of bilingualism, living abroad, affordable childcare, universal healthcare, and the slower, family-centered pace of life in France. I share what French parenting and school life are really like, from how kids are taught to be independent, to the funny paperwork systems, and of course, the amazing food. I even share some of our favorite things to do with kids in beautiful Provence.If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad with your family, want a glimpse into expat life, or just need a little parenting support, this episode is for you!  Links:https://www.aixenprovence.fr/Promenade-de-la-Torse https://pontdugard.fr/fr https://www.carrieres-lumieres.com/fr https://lesgorgesduverdon.fr/ https://avignon-tourisme.com/offres/le-petit-train-touristique-davignon-visite-avignon-lieutaud-avignon-fr-4143767/ https://en.lesbainsgardians.com/post/la-balade-a-cheval-sur-la-plage-en-camargue-un-plaisir-accessibleContact info:Website: https://sophieepton.com/Instagram: @thesophiepton@jordanepton-Intro and outro music produced by Jeremy Silver-
