What happens when French creators build their lives in the United States while an American immigration lawyer builds his in France?

In the first episode of Your Best French Life, French immigration attorney Daniel Tostado sits down with the founders of AT Frenchies to unpack what it really means to move abroad, build a career across borders, and navigate identity, culture, and visas on both sides of the Atlantic.

From college life in the U.S. and the pandemic turning point that launched their content careers, to O-1 visas, language stereotypes, and whether Americans really need to hide their accents in France, this conversation blends lived experience with legal insight. Along the way, they compare French and American approaches to work, community, immigration, and what “making it” actually looks like.

This episode is for anyone curious about life between France and the U.S., moving abroad long-term, or understanding immigration beyond paperwork.
