Monaco? That explains some things
Also I want to hear how it was. Curious how life in Monaco can turn somebody into a commercial pilot

Eh, nothing so special about it. It’s a tiny place (second smallest country after Vatican) so it’s like a village. You’d go to the one mall, or that one bar, or the movies, and you’d bump into friends and familiar faces there.

Also, plenty of working-class people, just like the Leclerc family, far from the billionaire clichés. CoL is high in Monaco and around, so harder to make a living. Most jobs are in banking and hospitality.

I very much enjoyed growing up there (it’s safe, clean, pretty, etc) but it’s not a place to study and build a career, so I moved after high school. And I’m not a commercial pilot 😅
