je doit partir pour Cap haitien, et ma famille doit me rejoindre dans qq temps, nous avons 2 enfants de 5 ans (maternelle ) et 12 ans (4°), je souhaiterai savoir si il existe des ecoles soit françaises soit francophones surtout pour l'ainé !
pouvez vous me renseigner aussi sur la vie a Cap Haitien ? cout de la vie, commerces, etat des voies de communications (routes telephone, internet ...)
la seule chose que j'ai trouvé sur internet ce sont les plages ... et les hotels !
Je ne peux te renseigner sur ce sujet mais je me demandais si tu étais parti en RDC en 2009 et si finalement tu y avais séjourné avec ta famille ?
@+, en MP si tu préfères.
Bonjour,
Nous sommes actuellement installés au Québec. Je dois passer un entretien avec une ONG pour aller travailler à Kenskoff pdt 2 ans. Si l'entretien est positif nous partirons en famille avec nos 2 enfants (5 et 12 ans).
Avez-vous réussi à obtenir des infos sur la vie sur place ?
Comment est la situation la bas ? Est-elle sécuritaire et quel est le coût de la vie ?
Merci
Ah je vois que l'Ong va bien vous placer ! Kenskoff est la commune des riches de Port au Prince !
C'est un peu eloigne de Port au Prince mais vous y serez bien je pense, il y fait frais la route n'est pas mauvaise
Maintenant pour l'ecole, je pense que c'est le lycee francais (essayez de les contacter pour savoir s'il y a encore de la place)
Personnellement je travaille a Cap Haitien, et suis heureux d'avoir quitte la capitale car, il faut une bonne heure dans PaP pour faire km, c'est l'horreur a ce niveau !
Sur Pap, pour la securite, il faut etre prudent qd meme, la semaine derniere une personne s'est fait enleve ... mais bon il faudrait savoir dans quelle conditions ? est ce que c'etait la nuit...
Bon il faut dire qu'ici la misere cotoie la richesse, et qd un 4X4 V8 descend Petion avec un superbe bateau en traversant les bidons villes, c'est sur que ca doit donner des envies a ceux qui n'ont rien !
Normalement vous aurez un chauffeur surtout au debut il vous expliquera tout ca et vous verez que ad lui ferme les portes, c'est que vous traversez un quartier "dangereux" ... enfin ou vous risquez l'ouverture de la portiere pour vous faire voler ...
Vivez normalement, ne montrez pas des signes exterieurs de richesse, soyez poli, et tout sera cool.
Pour le cout de la vie, ca depend, la encore vous aurez tres certainement une cuisiniere donc voyez avec elle, car elle connait le marche et les prix pratiques
Surtout prenez garde qu'elle lave bien les legumes, et surtout l'eau qu'en bouteille !!
Vous verez, a cote de tout ca il y a des bons plans, mais pas d'inquietude, on vous guidera sur place, je connais un fracais qui a une paillote sur le bord de la plage a Grand Goave, si ca vous interresse, les proprietaires sont tres acceuillants, on y mange tres bien et l'eau est belle ! tres bien en famille, c'est le point de rencontre des expats de PaP
Voila j'espere vous avoir renseigne
N'hesitez pas si vous avez encore des questions
Et j'espere si votre projet vois le jour, vous rencontrer sur le Cap Haitien pour venir decouvrir la Citadelle....
Remplis les coins de ta valise avec rouleaux papier de toilette ($), vieilles balles de tennis (à donner aux enfants), chandelles (pannes d'électricité) et apporte une lampe frontale (tjrs utile), une gourde, ...
Quand tu arrives à l'aéroport, en sortir c'est l'enfer: ne te laisse pas impressionner!
Pierroro
Quand le moment est arrivé, l'heure est venue! (C.Bobin.)
- et je vous remercie par avance pour votre réponse.
" je travaillais en brousse. "
Si tu as eu qlq moments libres as-tu eu l'occasion d'aller "visiter" les gorilles du Gabon (un très bel article et une vidéo émouvante ) ?
Quand tu arrives à l'aéroport, en sortir c'est l'enfer: ne te laisse pas impressionner!
Ah bon ? personnellement juste le temps d'attente que le visa soit vu par le douanier, total une demi heure , pas de fouille, rien, un bonjour un sourire et c'est tout !
T'es peut etre aller en touriste mais pour ces gens il y aura quelqu'un pour les attendre
Remplis les coins de ta valise avec rouleaux papier de toilette
Puree t'es venu ici ?? 1 mois d'Haiti, et toujours pas malade, mais je le repete je bouffe pas n'importe ou, qd les ouvriers me disent
pas la ingenieur !
je prends pas ! et pour ma cuisiniere, elle lave tout les legumes, pour l'eau a boire, c'est toujours en bouteille, c'est des regles de bases !! Maintenant dire que quand tu viens ici tu vas attraper la tourista, c'est pas vrai, il faudrait savoir si t'as pas bouffe n'importe quoi, ou t'es peut etre fragile ??
Pour finir la lampe torche, et les chandelles ? ohhhhh, je te rappelle que ces gens sont expatries, ca veut dire que la societe va mettre en place une maison avec un groupe electrogene, un gardien, qui s'occupera de le mettre en route en cas de coupure !
Je comprendrai jamais pourquoi des gens s'amuse a effrayer les futurs expats .... un regret, de l'acidite ... ?
Enfin, je suis contente d'avoir un peu d'informations!
En ce moment les démarches pour habiter sont compliquées. Ma priorité est de trouver une pièce ou chambre dans un endroit relativement sécuritaire. Ce qui se complique c'est que je dois trouver une location près d'une école pour mon fils de 6 ans!!!!!!!!!! (Priorité absolue)
À part pap. Auriez-vous une suggestion de ville. (simplicité et sécurité)
On m'a parlé de Jacmel, Port Salut, Cap Haïtien
Reste à voir la suite des démarches, car le contact qui devait me donner un coup de main dans mes recherches s'est volatilisé.
Merci!

Bonsoir

Je ne vous parlerai que de Cap Haitien, qui n'est pas mal ! lol (tout est relatif !)
Ecole pas trop cher 60 dollards par mois, avec le consul honoraire de france (travaillant avec le cned) apres il y en a d'autres, plus chere (toujours le cned)
Apres c'est vrai que les loyers coutent un bras ! (merci qui ? 😉)
Pour la vie ici pas rop de distractions... la bibliotheque de l'Alliance Francaise, un peu la plage, la citadelle et le palais..... le tour est fait 😮 ! Non, je plaisante !
Jacmel est petit peut etre plus propre !
Non je suis allergique a PaP, je n'en parlerai pas !
Au Cap nous ne sommes pas loin de la republique Dominicaine ce qui permet des Break ! retrouver un supermarche, ou un Ikea, oui je sais c'est pas pour ca que l'on vient mais retrouver une societe de conso ! ca change les idees !!
Merci pour le service efficace et rapide!!!!!!
Je serai là pour des vaccances à très long terme. Une fois sur place je vais regarder les possibilité côté travail. J'y vais sans vraiment avoir de plan de match, mais je veux quand même encadrer mon fils dans ma démarche.
Plusieurs personnes me parlent de Cap Haïtien ces temps ci.
Merci pour l'informations
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 everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
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?
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!
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.?
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.
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
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?
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.
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! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
