S01E03 From Wales to Words: Building a New Life in France
๐ Dad's Big Yellow Bus Dream: From UK Driver to Dream Home!
Guest(s): Vicky
After relocating from Wales to France, Vicky embraced a series of new adventures. From opening a bar and becoming part of her local community to launching Novice to Novelist, she has helped countless aspiring writers find the confidence to share their stories. Along the way, she has also navigated the challenges of relocation, entrepreneurship, publishing, and writing her own books.
In this episode of Sunflowers Stories, I sit down with Vicky to talk about what it really means to start over and build a life that reflects who you are becoming.
This is a conversation about courage, reinvention, creativity, and the reality of building a new life in another country. Whether you’re dreaming of a move abroad, writing a book, starting a business, or simply wondering what comes next, Vicky’s story is a reminder that sometimes the most rewarding chapters begin when you’re willing to turn the page.
Join us for an honest and inspiring conversation about following your passions, creating opportunities, and building a life filled with purpose.
