Hi! my name is Joshua Balata and I'm an Indian Expat living in Paris. I am passionate about language learning and my content creation journey on youtube.

Get in touch!

If you've ever dreamt of living the French Dream, with its whimsical feel, carefree lifestyle, and tantalizing culture? Moving to France might seem like an idyllic adventure, but it comes with its unique challenges, especially in your late 20s. In this video, I peel back the layers of the romanticized French life and share my experience of adulting in this country as a foreigner.

🎥 Check out my previous video about living the French dream!

See you in the next one!

Very well put ou and honest. As immigrants we are so thirsty looking for Friends, relationships and stability that it's just so overwhelming sometimes. The only thing That helps is discipline ans routine and it takes motivation and courage. You sure have a lot Joshua ❤

It reminds me of the one conversation I had with you @hotbreads in early April.. its so refreshing to see some qualitative content like this! :))

[boredsuhas]

This is amazingly relatable. The editing and storytelling is on point!

[Ashilha]

Thank you Joshua for making this video. I too do like useless things to comfort myself later which I regret. Seeing you doing lot of things inspiring me to do more. Learning a lot from you. Hands down 🙌🏻🎉

I'm in the last leg of my 20s and in India. I can relate to 90% of the things mentioned.

3:18 "we choose to stop doing important stuff to prioritise meaningless tasks" - Some life coach level truth bomb right there!!

[jigar.shah]

In my late 20s and moved to Paris recently - couldn't relate more!

[jidnyasavetal]

im 23 😢 planning to move to france idk how i feel about it

[ThePlacidKatana]

Man, I am in my extreme late 20s, moving to Paris this fall for my MSc, changing domains, very anxious about starting a new life in a new country with an absolutely different culture I'll have to adapt to and integrate with, and everything you said, each and every thing regarding the changes we go through in our late 20s, is so damn true, this video was like a reality check I needed man. I think I'll keep coming back to this video time and again man, thank you so much Josh! Hope to catch up with you in Paris someday.

Hey Josh. Vanakkam from TN India. I am a recent subscriber to your channel. I like watching your videos, especially on learning new languages. All the best to you. Keep up the great work😊

[rohanrajput]

Tbh very honest i feel the same way but unable to process it with my insight 😢communication i think this is one of the most human video abt life scenarios in youtube

[KiranKumarYT]

Need a whole new video on how not to be 'Meaninglessly Productive' :(

[seustaceRotterdam]

Subscribed! I am in my 50s now so I have a few things to say too! I don’t have regular TV, but stick to films 2-3 times a week, sometimes but not always related to language learning. Also this idea that we need to be 24/7 productive is something we need to loose. In Italian “il dolce far niente” in Bosnia “ ćejf”.

[adityamahajan]

I am thinking of coming France for phd when I will be 23-24. I am 17 (in 12th) right know
I know I might be thinking of too far in future but yeah I searched out most of the countries and thought either it's France or Switzerland.
What do you think about phd in France?

[kishorekart]

This is highly relatable. Btw just noticed the "Balata" logo - it's sleek 🚀
