réponse brève: NON
réponse longue: tout dépend de ce que tu appelles "minable", du type de job, de ta motivation (apprendre l'anglais ou gagner un peu d'argent ou avoir une expérience pour le cv), de si tu es flexible(travail le week-end/le soir), de ton budget de départ. Un job à la plonge est toujours possible même avec un anglais minable et de toute façon au bout de plusieurs semaines ton anglais se sera assez amélioré pour que tu puisses prétendre à mieux. Il te faut donc un bon budget en comptant que tu devras vivre 3 mois dessus, minimum. la difficulté est que c'est la crise là-bas, pire qu'en france à cause des mesures prises par le gouvernement Cameron, et les petits jobs sont infiniment plus difficiles à trouver que par rapport à ne serait-ce 2010. Donc ça va être très dur si en plus ton anglais n'est pas bon. Tu peux y aller prospecter en te disant qu'au pire ça te fera des vacances mais prépare toi à ne rien trouver sur londres et difficilement ailleurs (mais au moins le coût de la vie sera un peu moindre donc tu perdras moins d'argent pendant ta période de recherche.)
Avec un budget limité c'est impossible car avec la crise tu devras chercher longtemps. De plus avec les JO ça va être la folie, même en colloc. Les dépenses encourues à Londres (loyer+transport) sont telles qu'avec un petit job tu ne pourras pas couvrir tes besoins. Si tu y vas pour apprendre par l'expérience, no problem, mais seulement si ça ne pose pas de problème que tu dépenses plus que tu ne gagnes.
Si tu peux aller dans une ville de province, que ce soit une grande ville ou une ville touristique, tu peux tenter le coup. Révise un peu ton anglais avant quand même :)

Aller a Londres sans piston / appuis sur place c'est de la folie!
c'est la ville la plus chère du monde pour les petits budgets (IMO). Ailleurs toujours possible de trouver des bon plans (je parle de vivre pas cher, pas des opportunités de boulot).
Puis les JO qui vont arriver, c'est la pire des choses qui soit (pénurie de logement, donc le cher encore plus cher, le prix des hostels qui vont doubler en pleine semaine sans savoir pour quoi, ça va vous deglinger le porte feuille en moins de 2).
Bonsoir, j'ai vu que tu connaissais un Londres et j'ai lu ton message et crois moi ça m'a un peu refroidi un peu. si j'ai bien compris c'est pas le bon moment de partir car la crise est passée par là. mon projet c'est de prendre une auberge pour 15 jours et chercher du travail et si j'en trouve je resterais d'une façon permanente. ma question est est ce que c'est faisable de trouver du travail dans les deux semaines vu aussi que mon budget est de 850£ , car j'ai pas envie de partir et revenir dans les 10 jours🏴☠️ car d'après ton message ça devient très très difficile de trouver un petit job comme avant je savais pas que la crise a frappé Londres a ce point là. a ton avis je tente ma chance ou j'attends que la crise passe ou bien 2 semaines c'est très court pour trouver un job. je te remercie pour ton aide. Bonne soirée.
In the end , we only regret the chances we didn't take, Relationship we are afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.
Tout dépend si tu y vas pour gagner de l'argent ou apprendre l'anglais.
Le petit job sans doute avec des horaires tardifs et le week-end, à temps partiel, cad totalement insuffisant pour assurer la vie quotidienne. Les prix à Londres sont exorbitants (si tu trouves les loyers à Paris intra muros chers, multiplie par deux...)
Si tu y vas parce que tu penses gagner ta vie, ce n'est pas la peine.
Si tu y vas pour apprendre l'anglais, tu auras certainement fait des progrès en prenant les transports, en t'habituant aux supermarchés, en gérant les choses à l'auberge de jeunesse, en présentant ton cv un peu partout.... tu auras dépensé ton budget en 2-3 semaines et tu trouveras uniquement un petit job qui te permettra de payer ton loyer, la nourriture et les transports resteront de ta poche, plus bien sûr tout le reste (forfait de portable, sorties...) Donc si tu as de quoi vivre pour te payer le coût de la vie (disons, 500 euros de côté par mois où tu comptes rester sur place) c'est envisageable, mais sinon ça ne marchera pas.
Quelques exemples: Plus de 29 livres pour un abonnement à la semaine (travelcard), ou pour un oyster card
(note: le "visitor's oyster" coûte 5£ et tu la remplis, elle te permet d'avoir le voyage à 2£70 de métro et 1£35 le bus, si tu payes cash le ticket de métro est à... £4.30 - je viens de vérifier sur le site car je pensais que ma mémoire me faisait défaut et confondait avec le ticket de métro à 4 euros" de NKM!!!) La nourriture est plus chère qu'en France et les loyers déments, surtout avec le Queen's Diamond Jubilee et les JO.
Si tu veux vraiment aller en Angleterre, tu peux essayer les villes touristiques dans les zones en bleu de la carte ci-dessous (rouge= zone d'extrême pauvreté, avec un fort taux de chomage), ou bien tenter ta chance dans des villes moyennes: Bath, Bristol, Manchester...

Bonjour,
Un budget de 850 euros est nettement insuffisant, vu le prix des transports et du logement. Tu pourrais t'inscrire au centre Charles Peguy (60 livres pour l'annee) qui serait capable de te fournir des listes de retaurants ou autre qui embauchent... mais cela ne resoud pas le probleme du logement. Pour une colocation, il faut compter dans les 350 a 400 livres par mois (et pas dans le centre), plus un mois de caution et un mois d'avance tu montes deja a 800 livres. Par contre, je ne suis pas d'accord avec MYOS quand il dit que la nourriture est plus chere a Londres. J'habite dans un quartier un peu excentre (zone 3) et je peux t'affirmer que mon budget nourriture est tres leger. Il est vrai que je cuisine, mais bon, quand je rentre en France et que je compare... c'est moins cher ici. Pour la crise, j'ai bien peur qu'elle ne soit pas finie avant plusieurs annees... Bon courage quand meme

Bonsoir Nat, Merci pour ses conseils c'est vrai 2 semaines c'est un peu juste, donc je vais réfléchir un bon moment avant de prendre une décision. ou je vais choisir une autre ville comme m'a dit Myos moins chère et peut-etre que j'aurais plus de chance de trouver un travail. la crise est passé partout c'est dingue..si je vois que c'est dure je vais attendre un peu. je vosu remercie de votre aide a tous les deux. bonne soirée.
In the end , we only regret the chances we didn't take, Relationship we are afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.
Oui, un coup de chance.
bonsoir , c'est vrai pour 3 semaines pour trouver un job faut un budget pour tenir, le mien c'est juste. je vais prendre le temps de tout voir avant que je me décide de partir. est ce tu connais une auberge pas chère qualité prix? Londres a changé aussi cette maudite crise 😕 Merci encore et bonne soirée.

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

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!^^
