Congratulations to the two giveaway winners, Thomas Gibson and Marc Beckerman!
Does renting your home to finance living in France for three months sound like a fantasy?
Deborah L. Jacobs, a travel and business writer (whose previous uber-popular book, Estate Planning Smarts, is now in its fourth edition), has just published a new memoir called Four Seasons in a Day: Travel, Transitions, and Letting Go of the Place We Call Home.
The 283-page book, an award-winning finalist in the “Travel: Guides & Essays” category of the 2017 International Book Awards, shares Deborah and her husband’s misdaventures as they rent out their Park Slope, Brooklyn, brownstone for three months and use the proceeds to Airbnb their way through rural France.
Along with many wonderful anecdotes of acclimating to life in small towns in the Loire Valley and Basque regions, Deborah shares some hard-won lessons about the challenges of the new “sharing economy.”
We think the book will be loved not only by Francophiles but by anyone else who has dreamed about starting life anew in another country.
