Comment financer ses voyages quand on est étudiant(e)?

Original post
coucou à tous et surtout aux jeunes étudiants à qui est destiné cette question.
je vais bientot commencer mes études supérieures et comme tous les étudiants je dois payer mon école (école privée), livres, matériel scolaire, tenues vestimentaires, loyer, transports, nourriture, sécu etc...
ce qui reviens à une certaine somme!!!
et comme vous le savez surement, du moins si vous avez jeté un coup d'oeil a mes autres messages, je suis tombé amoureuse de l'afrique et je voudrais y retourner, le probleme est que je ne sais pas comment je vaisfaire financièrement pour cela, et meme si j'ai prévu de travailler tout l'été prochain je ne sais pas si j'aurais assez d'argent pour y retourner!!
du coup je me demandais comment les autres jeunes dans mon cas font pour continuer a voyager, une personne du forum m'a parlé de prêt, j'ai jeté un coup d'oeil mais je ne sais pas si c'est une bonne solution.
alors j'attends vos réponses!
merci🙂

Dans mon cas, quand j'étais étudiante, je devais aussi payer mes cours et matériel scolaire (+ transport et vêtements) mais je vivais chez mes parents. Ça ne revenait pas cher car les études collégiales sont (presque) gratuites au Québec. Sinon j'avais un emploi à temps partiel et j'avais obtenu un prêt étudiant (un prêt...pas une bourse donc remboursable après l'obtention de mon diplôme) et j'en ai utilisé une partie pour me payer un grand séjour à Londres. J'ai aussi conservé l'argent que je recevais lors de mon anniversaire, Noël, etc.
Mais bon, à l'époque (1999) les billets d'avon étaient moins cher aussi, j'avais trouvé un Montréal-Londres pour seulement 699$ 😉

bonjour,
si tu dois financer ton ecole privée + voyages alors la je ne vois pas trop de solution sauf a travailler pendant l'année dans une entreprise comme macdo ou encore obtenir un pret bancaire pour financer tes etudes (pas pour voyager) 😏.

merci de vos réponses!!
effectivement le fait que j'aille dans une école privée + le logement dans une ville pas donnée plombe un peu mon budget!!
et travailler a coté de ses études à l'année, surtout en école d'infirmière, ce n'est aps très conseillé, les cours sont assez intense et avec un mois de cours et un mois de stage c'est un peu galère aussi!!
c'est donc pour ça que je me retourne le cerveau pour savoir comment faire.
de toute façon il me restera les vacances, si je n'ai pas de partiels ou autres🙁
mais en bossant 5 semaines l'été prochain je devrais pouvoir mettre un peu de coté, et je crois qu'on attribue aussi des bourses aux étudiants qui souhaitent faire des stages à l'étranger à condition de monter un solide dossier!!
je devrais pouvoir m'en sortir enfin je pense...j'espère😏
le prêt ça peut etre une solution si on rembourse pas sur 10 ans😏

Salut,
je comprends bien ton inquiétude...et vu ta situation ce n'est pas très facil de s'organiser des voyages..la formation d'infirmère n'est pas la plus simple ni celle qui donne le plus de temps libre. Donc occuper un emploi en même temps que tes études ce ne sera pas possible. Concernant les prets étudiants, je suis totalement contre, je peux pas conseiller à quelqu'un de mon age de prendre un pret...je trouve pas cela sein d'avoir des prêts sans avoir de salaires qui tombe tous les mois et en ayant un statut aussi instable que celui d'être étudiant...mais après c'est chacun qui voit...et des fois on a pas le choix.
moi ce que je te conseillerais, c'est de sacrifier tes étés....même si je me doute que ça peut être un peu long sacrifier deux étés consécutifs te permettra de retourner au Bénin avec assez de moyen ( et si tu gères bien ton argent, il t'en restera à ton retour).
je crois que la plupart des étudiants pas aisées sacrifient leurs étés et dès qu'ils réunissent assez de sous, ils partent et s'avourent leur vacances.

merci pour ta réponse!!
je pense que l'idée du pret est aussi assez risquée et contraignante.
il me reste un peu d'argent de coté de mon dernier séjour car mon père m'avait aidé vu que c'etait déductible à 66% des impots.
donc je peux compter sur cet argent mais je serais obligé de rebosser l'été prochain pour combler ce qui me manque, et je pense que s'ils le peuvent mes parents vont m'aider vu que ce serait pour un stage et pas des vacances etc...
mais je tiens qd meme a essayer d'etre le plus possible autonome.
comment fais tu toi?
bises à toi!

moi j'ai la chance de suivre une formation qui ne soit pas prenante, depuis que je suis à la fac mon emploi du temps est maléable..dans la meme semaine il y a 5 fois le même cour...ce qui me permet de travailler en semaine à temps-partiel. De plus moi je vis chez mes parents donc j'ai pas de charges...il est plus aisé pour moi d'économiser. Par exemple l'année prochaine je me prend une année sabbatique en amérique latine, tout le voyage sera auto-financé ...ça fait un an que j'économise. Je sais que l'argent que j'ai dépensé cet été (voyage en Equateur) je le récupérerai fin novembre. Moi je suis super organisée je me suis fixé un budget de 70 euros par mois.....et le reste (mon salaire) sera automatiquement mis de coté. L'année dernière mon budget était de 50 euros par mois, c'était trop dur à tenir. Pour moi le plus dur c'est de me contenter de deux soirées salsa par mois....parce qu'en réalité j'aime pas faire les magasins, j'aime pas le ciné (c'est trop cher, je préfère attendre les films sur Canal +, j'ai pas de permis ni voiture donc pas de frais annexes, je ne fumes pas, je ne bois pas et je consacre que 15 euros par mois pour mon portable (je m'en sers que pour les sms). Si je dois appeller je le fais sur le fixe, j'appelle uniquement de fixe à fixe c'est moins cher, on a l'illimité à la maison autant s'en servirv !!ça fait un peu la radine du téléphone mais qu'est ce que c'est économique!!!! La plupart de mon budget passe dans la nourriture et les soirées salsa. Et aussi je mange plus en resto U...parce 2, 75 euros le repas c'est pas cher mais bon si tu mange 4 fois par semaine ça monte vite. Donc moi je me fais à manger et j'emmène à la fac.
En revanche moi j'ai un atout non négligeable par rapport à d'autres jeunes de mon âge, c'est que mon père travail à Air France, donc les billets d'avion n'ont pas le même prix pour moi....à part ça je crois que ma méthode est l'une des meilleures, non pa parce que je la pratqieu mais surtout parce mes amies aussi. De plus je ne me prive pas vraiment, je me fixe un budget et je n'achète que le nécessaire d'où l'intéret de ne pas faire les magasins avec ses amies parce sinon tu achètes automatiquement quelque chose d'inutile...il vaut mieux opter pour les marchés et les brocantes, on y va seule et on y va tôt le matin pour pouvoir bien négocier les prix. Un autre moyen d'économiser pas mal avec les vetements, c'est d'acheter les vetements avec des défauts. moi j'adore customiser mes vetements (ou à défaut les recoudre). Il y a des vetements de très bonne qualité qui ont un petit défaut ( trous, manque un bouton, la fermeture est cassée etc...) et qui sont vendu à moitié prix. Cest vraiment avantageux, tu peux avoir jusqu'à 75% de réduction sur un produit à cause d'une petite salissure qui s'enlève à la machine. Au pire si ça l'enlève pas tu customise. C'est aussi simple que ça.
Sur ce je m'arrete là je crois que je m'éloigne un peu de la question de départ, je pense néanmoins qu'on peut économiser pas mal d'argent en changeant un peu son mode de vie, ou du moins, les choses que l'on fait machinalement au quotidien et qui ne sont pas forcément les plus économiques bien que très pratiques.

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’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

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?

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
