Trading NYC for coastal France w/ Charles

Charles Kergaravat traded his thriving financial career in Manhattan for a more balanced life abroad in a region of France often not visited by the masses, but lacking little in terms of natural beauty, culture, and lifestyle. Today he joins About Abroad to share his perspective on making that leap, the pros/cons of life in the US vs France, and fully immersing in a foreign country. We also chat about Brittany, an incredible coastal area in northwest France that has become his home away from home, and how the local language and celtic influences have become a core part of what he loves about his new life. These days Charles is thriving as the Chief Marketing Officer at a successful startup, which reminds us that success is no longer limited to major cities like NYC, Silicon Valley, or even Paris.
