Nice – looking forward to reading the rest of your story. Property news in SG is all cookie-cutter and I applaud your move to step out and take the road less travelled. “Oh well” rather than “What if” !

Hi Melody, how can I get in touch with you to know more about buying a property in France? I am interested to explore a 2 bedder in Paris. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for reading! I’ll be writing articles about the French property market real soon, keep a lookout for that before you decide to invest in Paris.

Thank you for sharing your story and is a true reflection of the challenges faced by young Singaporeans. Indeed the stereotype success story is how u can make money and retire rich. Take a step back and realise there is a God and success doesn’t have to look that way and May your adventure be unique and meaningful.

France: Huge influx of illegal immigrants often from cultures and religions at odds with what we know to be French culture. Political instability leading to frequent rioting, high crime rate, terrorist attacks, out of control inflation, and France’s active participation in the Russo-Ukrainian war…

I disagree with this over-generalisation of France. Europe itself is a very large continent, and France is more than 750 times bigger than Singapore. What you read online does not always reflect the reality on-site. If you follow us on this journey, I do hope you do so with an open mind 🙂
