Allo!
c'est une excellente idée que d'aller au Royaume Uni pour travailler mais tu dois savoir que tu as besoin d'un visa et les Britishs a moins que tu ais un contrat fixe qui t'attend, ne te laisseront pas aller dans leur beau pays si tu as pas ce dernier, si tu comptes aller tout simplement aller comme cela, alors ne dis pas au douanier que tu comptes y travailler! Ils sont ratoureux!!😉 Les plus cools endroits pour travailler je te suggererais Brighton, c'est sur le bord de la mer, pleins de possibilité pour des escapades de fins de semaines, genre le ras le bol des english, tu peux prendre le bateau et aller manger une baguette en France, en face!!c'Est une ville ou ils y a plein de cool touristes, une ville vraiment sympa et si tu parles français!! c'Est un atout pour les anglais car les cousins vont souvent la visiter! et c'est a 45 minutes de Londres en train alors tu peux y aller pour une journée ou deux pour te ballader!! Car Londres est pas cher, Londres est SCANDALEUSEMENT CHER!! le métro a 5.95 $ aller simple genre!! et sinon, Glasgow est bien aussi, en Écosse, Edingbourgh quoique l'accent est fort meme très fort, Dublin reste une ville vraiment cool, jeune, étudiante, manchester aussi, moins cher que les grandes villes et plus sympas pour y travailler et tu vas y rencontrer plus de gens qu'a Londres. Si tu as d'autres questions, genes toi pas!! au plaisir

Pour Londres ce n'était pas vraiment dans mes choix, j'ai entendu bcp de choses sur la ville, sur le fait qu'elle est TRES chère et les gens sont plus difficiles d'approche.
Actuellement, je regarde plus pour Dublin meme si la ville est assez chere également, le marche de l'emploi y est particulierement interessant. Je cherche un endroit pour rencontrer des gens de toutes les nations et pas necessairement du Qc alors pour Edimburg je vais laisser faire. Je prends en note tes suggestions pour Brighton et Manchester. Ca sera plus facile de voir la-bas en cherchant un boulot!

Salut Nestea
Je souhaite également partir en Angleterre ou en Écosse l'automne prochain pour travailler et perfectionner mon anglais...
Je commence à faire de la recherche alors si tu as des informations intéressantes et que tu souhaite les partager, n'hésite surtout pas!! 😉
En passant j'ai une copine qui est présentement à Dublin et elle semble avoir ben du plaisir malgré le fait qu'elle travaille plus de 50 heures par semaine!
Merci!

A l'inverse, je réside à Londres et j'ai énormément envie d'aller habiter au Québec, qui est selon moi, la province la plus intéressante du Canada. Bon, je connais seulement l'Ontario, le Nouveau Brunswick et le Québec mais j'ai déjà fait mon choix. Ce n'est qu'une idée mais je pense pas mal à demander la résidence au Québec si je ne trouve pas de travail intéressant à Londres (je suis actuellement étudiant en électronique à Londres).
J'ai vu que quelqu'un t'a suggéré Brighton. C'est un bon choix si tu veux un endroit où le climat est plutôt plaisant en été. D'autres endroits sur la côte qui sont intéressants sur la côte: Bournemouth, Southampton. Mais ce sont des petites villes donc si tu aimes les grandes villes, ce n'est pas pour toi! Si tu veux un endroit où il y a plus d'activité à faire, du surf (et oui ça existe en Angleterre!) et la plage l'été essaye la Cornouaille (Cornwall) mais ce sera plus difficile de trouver du travail.
Si tu veux une grande ville essaye Manchester (plein de bons endroits pour sortir), Edimbourg, Birmingham (quoique c'est un peu moche!), Belfast ou bien en Irlande, Dublin.
Mais la ville ultime si tu veux rencontrer du monde de partout, je ne crois pas que tu peux trouver de meilleure ville que Londres. Les opportunités pour trouver du travail sont incomparables à ce que tu trouveras dans les autres villes britanniques ou même européennes. Les Londoniens aiment se vanter d'avoir la ville la plus cosmopolite du monde (je sais que, vous, les Canadiens vous avez Toronto...) avec des communautés fortes de presque tous les pays. Et ce ne sont pas de petites communautés...mais des dizaines de milliers. Chaque quartier de Londres a son identité: South Kensington c'est le quartier chic français, Ealing est polonais. Il y a des quartiers indien, pakistanais, américain, irlandais. Mais si tu viens à Londres, tu n'auras pas l'expérience de ce qu'est vraiment la culture anglaise. Beaucoup d'étrangers se retrouvent dans le centre de Londres ou il y a relativement peu d'anglais et quand ils en rencontrent, ils sont étonnés par le fait qu'ils ne sont pas plus ouverts. En réalité, les anglais sont autant étrangers à Londres que des vrais étrangers alors tu n'auras pas un traitement spécial parce que tu viens d'un pays étranger. Certains étrangers s'attendent à être accueillis à bras ouverts par des anglais qui vont leur montrer l'Angleterre mais les anglais ne sont pas plus chez eux à Londres que les étrangers le sont. Comme les étrangers, ils tentent de vivre avec leur culture.
C'était juste pour t'avertir à quoi t'attendre en venant à Londres. Mais Londres c'est incroyable pour les sorties, pour la culture, pour la diversité culturelle. Il n'y a pas d'autre ville comme ça en Europe. En arrivant à Londres, tu seras comme chez toi!

Mon choix s'est arrete sur trois villes : London, Manchester, Liverpool.... mais jusqu'a maintenant, j'ai un leger penchant sur la ville de Manchester qui semble relativement cool et plus relax que Londres. De toute facon je ne compte pas sur l'idee de me faire des amis british, a ce que j'ai entendu il semble assez difficile de nouer des grandes amities avec les jeunes anglais.... de toute facon, j'imagine que Manchester doit etre culturellement diversifiee (pas autant que Londres mais ca doit etre pas mal malgre tout).
Pour le travail au Quebec, n'hésite pas si tu as des questions :)

Manchester reste une alternative intéressante à Londres mais le nord de l'Angleterre reste plus industrialisée, moins classe...
Si tu es Québecois et que tu te débrouilles bien en anglais, il n'y a pas de raison que tu ne te fasses des amis britanniques. Je connais des québecois (ou plutôt des québecoises) qui se sont fait beaucoup d'amis ici. Ca dépend de ton tempérament. Je ne vais pas faire de la publicité excessive pour la culture britannique, mais les britanniques ne sont pas difficiles pour devenir amis, que d'autres européens. Personellement, moi je dirais le contraire. Par contre, ne compte pas te faire des amis si tu passes ton temps à dire que les anglais sont tous des cons. Il y en a ici avec cette attitude ici et qui s'étonne après que les anglais n'apprécient pas. Ca, ca vaut dans tout pays!

Faut pas s'en faire la-dessus, je ne me rends pas en GB pour critiquer la culture, au contraire, j'aime bien la culture anglo-saxonne, je connais bcp plus la culture Canadienne et américaine alors pour moi c'est une belle opportunite de voir ce qui se passe de ce cote. En fait, je demeure relativement ouvert d'esprit sur ma destinations finale comme je n'ai jamais mis un pied en GB, peut-etre aurai-je un coup de foudre sur place.

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 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...

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.

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!^^
