This is far too involved to answer in a few sentences here, but I would definitely say just go for it! I will always be that person encouraging others to follow their dreams, live on their own terms, and take the big leap. I’m an Aries, after all. ♈️
My more practical answer is: Do your homework. I’ve come as a tourist, a student, an intern, a teacher, and for a relationship. Know why you want to move, get an idea of what to expect, anticipate frustration and culture shock, and make a list of everything you need to do to complete the visa application. Take it step by step and over-prepare for meetings with the Consulate and at the Préfecture.
