Julie Neis, originally from Michigan, decided to radically change her life by moving from the USA to the small town of Uzès in southern France. After an exhausting career in technology that led to anxiety and depression, Julie sought a profound change. She turned to ChatGPT for help in choosing between two cities, and the recommendation was Uzès. Upon arriving there, she was impressed by the warm atmosphere and the historic center of the town.
Although she faces challenges such as lower salaries and the lack of certain amenities, Julie believes that the move was one of the best decisions of her life, helping her to rediscover balance and build a new community. Life in France offers her the freedom to value human connections more than professional titles.
