#0023 – Adrien: Visa Chaos & French Survival Stories
About this episode
In episode #0023, Adrien takes us on a raw and riveting journey from the American South to rural France as a queer and trans expat. We talk about the fear that led them to leave the U.S., the bureaucracy meltdown involving A4 paper and a cat, and the hilarious struggle of ordering bread in perfect French.
This episode is equal parts emotional, chaotic, and deeply human—a story of identity, resilience, and rebuilding abroad.
