Original post
Salut tout le monde, 😎 2, 3 questions à poser sur la cueillette cet été dans la vallée de l’Okanagan. Je suis français et je pars là-bas pour le début des cerises et j’y reste jusqu’à mi-Septembre. A ceux qui ont déjà réalisé le trip j’aimerais qu’on me file des contacts ou tout au plus les bons coins😉 et les pas terribles🤪. Ensuite j’ai dans l’idée de camper là où je me trouve : ça pose un problème ? Où puis-je trouver du matériel de camping pas cher là-bas ?
Voilà, merci d’avance 😉

j'ai soif de voyage, vers quel oasis me diriger ?
Merci du conseil, 😛 mais avant de m'inscrire sur ce forum j'ai passé pas mal de temps à le découvrir et biensûr à lire les sujets sur la cueillette et donc je suis passé par la rubrique en question. Mais comme on dit, "qui ne tente rien n'a rien" et on ne sait jamais qui peut tomber sur ce message. Quoiqu'il en soit y a pas de souci 😎 (j'aime bien ta signature) A plus

Bonjour Marjo, merci pour ton message et oui j'ai quelques réponses aux questions que l'on se pose tous. Je pars du 18 Juin au 16 Septembre, arrivé là-bas j'ai trouvé à me faire héberger quelques jours à Vancouver histoire de m'acheter le matériel de camping dont je vais avoir besoin le temps de mon séjour (faut profiter du régime de change : 1$ca = 0.72€ je crois). Ensuite c'est au système D. Là-bas ton permis de conduire est reconnu et le pouce marche plutôt bien. Pour la cueillette, vous devriez débuter au sud, à Osoyoos. Allez directement sur les terrains des agriculteurs et demandez du travail. Il ne faudrait pas travailler en bas de 2, 50$ le bucket ou 2, 25$ avec la douche. Il est possible de négocier. Tu peux toujours te renseigner. Il y a des centres d'emplois qui sont très intéressants : qui ont de bonnes offres d'emplois. Si tu n'aimes pas les cerises, tu peux travailler dans l'agriculture ou les vigniobles, la valley de Keremeos est intéressante pour cela. Plus la saison avancera, plus il faudra vous diriger au nord pour vous trouver
de nouveaux emplois. Il se peut que vous rencontriez pas mal de difficulté. Cherchez dans les centres emplois et parlez aux gens. Il y a des endroits louches mais qui payent bien.
Ceux qui possèdent les champs sont des east indians de l'Inde. Ils acceptent que tu dormes sur le champs à condition que tu travailles pour eux. La plupart des terres embauches et payent cash, cest a dire sans facture et
sans numero dassurance social. Cependant les grosses ferment declarent leur revenus au gouvernement et ont besoin dun numero dassurance social Souvent il n'y a pas de douche, ou qu'un petit robinet d'eau froide, des toilettes chimiques ou même rien, c'est-à-dire qu'il faut se débrouiller dans la nature. Là-bas à toi, à vous
de faire attention et de décider à qui faire confiance. Les jeunes qui vont la bas n'ont souvent pas d'argent et beaucoup de drogues. Mais d'après ce que j'ai compris il y a du bon monde. Pour la cueillette, il faut que vous vous achetiez un bucket à Oliver, au sud de la Valley d'Okanakan avec un harnais. C'est l'idéal pour maximiser les profits. Cependant, pour la premiere année il faut y aller principalement pour le trip et l'expérience, car les anciens vont etre engagés dans les meilleurs places et cueilleront facilemenet deux fois plus vite qu'un débutant.
A Kelowna il y a une auberge de jeunesse très bien :

bonjour,
je suis aller dans la valley et un petit conseil, apporte ton materiel de camping avec toi parce qu'ils les attendent les voyageurs $$$.
on est aller rejoindre des amis qui avait louer une maison la bas(un vieille affaire)pas trop cher quad on est 10 dedan, mais sans auto c tres difficile de pouvoir se deplacer, car les route sont longue entre les villes et le pouce est la seule innitiative.ensuite on a fait du camping où ont travaillait, le gars ne nous laissait pas utiliser les toilettes, mais d'autre personnes nous ont dit qu'il y avait des endroit où ils avaient l'eau et la toilette.informe toi avant de décider ou tu va travailler, les jeunes en voyages sont tres sociable sur place et vont te dire ou est le meilleur endroit où aller. bon trip, profite-en!
Bonjour à tous. J'ai moi aussi comme projet d'aller travailler dans la vallée de l'Okanagan l'été prochain, et malgré toutes les ressources disponibles sur le net pour m'y préparer sommairement, j'aimerais questionner les gens qui ont déjà tenté l'expérience. Ma seule inquiétude réside dans l'incertitude d'y décrocher un emploi à mon arrivée, qui se fera propablement début juillet (voire peut-être fin juin). Croyez-vous que l'embauche est constante en cette saison de l'année, ou devrais-je entreprendre des démarches pour m'assurer d'un emploi à l'avance ?
Merci beaucoup d'avance.
Merci beaucoup d'avance.
bonjour j'ai l'ambition d'aller au canada a Kelowna pour y travailler 2mois: mois de juillet et aout. Je ne sais pas du tout comment procéder pour y arriver, j'aimerai travailler dans une auberge de jeunesse, ou pour l'agriculture, ou autre, mais je ne veux aller qu'a Kelowna. est ce possible ou pas? comment faire des demandes? dois je contacter le centre francophone de kelowna?
merci
Bonjour Kasuo,
Perso mon voyage s'est déroulé un petit peu autrement que ce que j'avais prévu et au final je n'ai passé que 3 semaines à Kelowna où j'ai bossé pour une connaissance.
Les seuls conseils que je puisse te donner sont : documentes toi un max sur les forums et le net croises les infos autant que tu peux contactes autant de gens, d'organismes que tu peux....
avec des questions claires afin d'avancer pas à pas. dépêches toi d'organiser ton voyage parce que tu vas arriver un peu après la bataille : Kelowna est très touristique et la majorité des jeunes y arrivent fin Mai pour faire les mêmes boulots que toi. désolé de te dire ça, mais vaudrait mieux que tu sois près à être mobile parce que les jobs saisonniers pour les décrocher, faut aller les chercher !!! si tu parts tout seul, débrouilles toi pour tomber dans une auberge de jeunesse réputée pour recevoir des jeunes venus pour le picking : tout seul C très dur, tous les fermiers sont pas des anges à ce que j'ai compris... Un conseil faut pas que tu partes là-bas pour faire de la maille : tu vas certainement vivre les expériences les plus intéressantes, marquantes et tout et tout de ta vie ; mais côté monnaie vaut mieux que tu partes avec des réserves. Faut juste faire attention avec qui tu t'embarques (y a pas mal de drogue qui circiule en BC) ; quand tu auras trouver le bon groupe avec les bons plans ça devrait rouler --> vaut mieux essayer de gérer ça de la maison que là-bas au milieu de toutes les galères
Mais comme je te dis : je ne suis pas vraiment renseigné...
Néanmoins si tu as des questions précises n'hésites pas !
Quoiqu'il en soit bon courage et prévoit au maximum : les tripsà l'arrach ça va bien jusqu'à ce que toutes les emmerdes s'accumulent et que tu n'aies plus de ronds
Take care

merci beaucoup, en fait pour etre sincere je pars habiter chez un ami, qui va travailler la bas pendant 6 mois, et j'avais dans l'idée de me faire de l'argent pour me nourrir et pr les distractions mais le billet d'avion et le logement ce serai deja ok pour moi, quand tu dis prépare toi a bouger ca veut dire kil me fo absolument la voiture ou tu penses kil y a de koi bouger en bus?
de mon cote je trouve que cest pas mal plus simple que ca. tu arrives dans la vallee, osoyoos ou oliver, et els jobs pleuvent alros cest vraiment pas difficile de travailler. pas besoin de prevoir grand chose, sauf avoir une tente et un backpack.
pour le reste on rencontre pas mal de monde et on se fait du fun. ca fait 4 ans que je cueille des cerises et cest sur quavec les annees tu decouvres des bonnes places et tout, mais tu peux pas tatendre a faire pas mal de tune des la premiere annee sauf si chanceux.
sinon fo pas trop sinquieter avec ca, fo juste arriver la bas et etre pret a un peu daventure, fo juste laisser les chose aller
ya des campings sur chaque ferme et normalement cest toujours payer au moins 2, 25 de bucket, et ca va jusqua 3$. ya beaucoup de fermes qui ont douches, toilettes, et des bonnes facilities mais ca cest surtout au nord, vers kelowna, a oliver et osoyoos cest un peu moins bien equipper.

La voiture c'est sûr que c'est mieux mais il me semble que louer une bagniole coûte assez cher. En plus il faut avoir plus de 5 ans de permis ou plus de 25 ans...
bref, en BC si je me souviens bien, les bus marchent pas trop mal : jette un coup d'oeil sur le site de la Greyhound. Je crois que c'est pas très cher.
Sinon tout dépend de ta gnaque mais fais gaffe qd même, j'en ai entendu pas mal qui disaient faire de la maille dans la cueillette mais au final dans un verger tu as les anciens qui prennent les bonnes places et toi pour faire la tienne... tu galères. Je sais pas si tu as déjà fait la cueillette... : c sympa avant et après, pendant y a pas de copain.
Le conseil que j'aurais à te donner, si tu veux faire des ronds, est de te débrouiller autant que tu peux pour te trouver un taff d'ici en France ou t'organiser des interviews pour tes premiers jours.
2mois c court...
Good luck et prends soin

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune
