After a solo trip to Paris, Kim is sharing the little cultural habits that suddenly stood out to her after three years of living in France.


From giant water bottles and coffee to-go to loud conversations, overscheduled weekends, smiling at strangers, and eating on the run, this episode is a funny and honest look at the everyday things other cultures do that can feel completely bizarre to the French.


Kim also shares what she’s learned from these differences, what she’s happily adopted from French culture, and the American habits she’s not quite ready to give up.
