Description

In this fun and wildly honest episode of Clocked Out: Life Beyond the Bedside, I sit down with my very special guest - my husband, Julien - for a casual conversation about what it's really like being married to someone from another country.

We're talking about cultural quirks, how French healthcare stacks up to the U.S. system (spoiler: it's a LOT cheaper), and what happens when an American girl with three credit cards falls in love with a French guy who doesn't believe in credit cards at all.

Whether you're a nurse curious about global healthcare systems, someone who's lived abroad (or dreams of it), or just love a good cross-cultural love story - this one's for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • American fast food

  • Our very different daily rhythms (5 PM dinner?!)

  • The shocking truth about France's healthcare costs

  • Why traveling - and marrying someone from another country - changes you

  • What really grosses Julien out about American food (deep dish pizza fans, beware)

And of course, we end with some laughs, a little romantic banter, and Julien's favorite travel destinations.
