E18: “I missed BBC Radio and Fish & Chips” (Jo Nutley, UK to France)

Serial entrepreneur Jo Nutley doesn’t normally eat fish & chips. So why did she miss them abroad? Together with her family, Jo, who likes keeping busy with several businesses (a guesthouse in France, dealing with antiques, and most notably, owning one of the biggest online stores for everything you need to sow and grow in your kitchen garden), tries to find her feet in France. Not easy when you swap teeming London with rural Charente-Maritime. Even worse, her son had to go through several schools to find a decent place to stay – where the teachers wouldn’t hit students! Find out all the things Jo got up to while turning a building site into a guesthouse, and also, why she doesn’t think that Italy would be an option for her next venture abroad.
