Hi there ! Just another Brit looking for a better life! Wd be channel hopping for work (nurse) and essentially am Seeking friendships to ease the transition ... I will be alone, love animals (maybe volunteer in rescue centre) learning French and the great outdoors.聽 I have read and read about France, have visited in the winter alone and I must say it put me off for a while as I became very lonely.聽 However I'm back and have a better idea for my aims and goals. A sense of purpose and commune with others are paramount. I realise it will be uncomfortable at times but at the end of the day it will be part of the journey and I will retain a property here in the uk. Any feedback wd be most welcome - ! Merci and 'mercy'

Hello,
I just noticed your post on this site. Have you found what you were looking for in Rennes?
Did you find a way to help animals in a rescue center? That is my goal also, please let me know if you did as I would like to help you as well.
I am a French woman (in my 40'S) single, no children, who has lived and worked in the US for many years and I am now back in France/Rennes and I am BORED to death as I have no friends anymore (as they got all married=might as well be dead!)...being single in your 40'S聽 is so hard in Brittany as there are lots of kids everywhere in social events/places to meet...difficult to find an interesting mature man who is single in the area...

I would like to hear from your experience...
I have lived in Australia, UK, US, Canada...and I feel like a failure now coming back home to my country since I am unemployed and left alone here:(
every day I wonder why I left Hawaii/tropical weather to be back to Misery Land....but I have to remind myself that it is because of Social Security Coverage and that I am not getting any younger...even though I still have the energy to jump on a plane and escape!! I hope to hear back from you soon:)
Aloha;)
Nathalie
