How to Move to France on an Entrepreneur Visa and Work Less with Traci Schneider
Sat Jan 17 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Traci Schneider, a therapist originally from Vail, Colorado, who turned a seven-month trip abroad into a permanent move to France. What began as extended travel quickly became a life-changing realization: she wanted more freedom, balance, and intention in how she lived and worked. Today, Traci runs an online therapy practice, works just two days a week, and enjoys a lifestyle that aligns deeply with her values.
We dive into how Traci chose where to live in France, why the Entrepreneur Visa was the right fit for her, and the exact steps she took to make the move legally and sustainably. From snowboarding in Colorado to building a location-independent career in Europe, Traci’s story is proof that you don’t have to hustle nonstop to create a fulfilling life abroad.
This episode is especially inspiring for professionals wondering if they can move overseas without giving up their career—or their sanity.
