It’s a real shame that stories like this are essentially impossible now. It’s impossible for a French person to just meander over to the U.S., set up shop for a bit, go to school, and flit between the countries at will. In many ways a French citizen today is lucky because they could at least explore an alternative life living in Belgium or Italy or elsewhere in the EU, but for most people in the world, it’s impossible to leave their home country for anything other than a visit. I mourn for the freedom that earlier generations had to simply uproot and start anew.
