Half Settled: An Immigrant’s Search for Home in a City of Vacations

by Moses Uaboi

Half-Settled is a memoir about the in-between life of an immigrant in Nice, France, who turns his small apartment into an Airbnb to stay afloat while chasing fluency in French, searching for love, and hunting for a job. Caught between the role of host and outsider, he navigates the chaos and comedy of encounters with quirky, demanding, and sometimes unforgettable guests. Set in a city built for visitors, this is a story of resilience, reinvention, and what it means to build a life where you’re always a little bit temporary.
