Bonjour à tous!
Suite à un imprévu, je dois partir plus tôt que prévu pour l'Australie... Problème est, financièrement parlant, je suis loin du compte! J'ai un visa d'un an certes, mais seulement un billet aller simple et 1100 euros en poche!! Je compte arriver en Australie début juin, et je n'ai plus qu'une option afin de m'en sortir une fois là bas... trouver un job en descendant de l'avion! Je pense qu'au niveau logement, je vais opter pour l'auberge de jeunesse. Rassurer moi svp... Est-ce jouable de s'en sortir les premiers temps? De plus, si vous avez de bonnes adresses, des bons plans (ou si vous avez pitié pour moi 😉), je suis prenneur. Merci d'avance.
hey salut! je sais pas ou tu pars en australie, mais si tu va du coté e Sydney, y'a beaucoup de backpackers et c'est pas très cher: c'est une formule dortoir, 4 ou 6 par chambre, avec petit déj inclu parfois et un casier sécurisé ou tu peux mettre tes affaires. Tappe sydney backpackers sur google et tu va trouver pleins de plans. En plus en général ils t'aident à trouver un job.
Si tu veux y'en a un qui a l'air pas mal, c'est surement là ou je vais aller, c'est Surfside bondi beach, c'est à 15min de Sydney et c'est à la plage!! C'est 90 euros par semaine, donc je pense que c'est raisonnable!!
voila, j'espère que j'ai pu t'aider un peu!
Bon courage

Salut,
Je suis depuis 5 mois en Australie avec un working holiday visa. Je t'accorde que ce que tu as en poche n'est pas enorme, mais ici il y a du boulot pour ceux qui en veulent, surtout si tu as un bon niveau d'anglais, tu pourras faire autre chose que de la plonge ou du fast food..
Pour economiser, je te conseille de trouver a ton arrivee une colloc, ca te coutera dans les 100/120 dol par semaine au lieu de 25/30 dol par nuit ds un backpack.
regarde sur www.easyroomates.com pour le colloc et pour des jobs, seek.au et le mieux reste le porte a porte !

Hola amigos!
Je debarque a Sydney le 16 juin, arrivant de Santiago (chili). En voyage depuis 5 mois, moi aussi j'espere trouver un taf rapidement (j'ai le whv), cad en un mois grand grand max afin de pouvoir continuer mon voyage par la suite sinon je serai contrainte a rentrer en Europe plus rapidement que prevu... 🤪🙁😕🏴☠️ Je suis "fluent" en anglais, j'ai de l'experience en call centre et dans le milieu banquaire avec clients anglophones, ja'i aussi fait des petits boulots genre caissiere... croyez-vous que, meme en juin, il est possible de trouver du taf rapidement? Et en s'adressant aux recruitement agencies, qu'est-il preferable de dire: je veux un taf pour 3 mois maxi (de toute maniere, les contrats de travail pour etrangers sont de 3 mois maxi, vrai?) et dans ces cas la y a-t-il des offres en administratif (j'entend par la meme du call centre pourri) ou alors vaut-il mieux bluffer et dire qu'on est la pour 6mois-1 an pour avoir plus de chances de trouver du taf rapidement? ce qui m'inquiete, c'est surtout de savoir si juin est une bonne periode pour les etrangers pour trouver du taf sur sydney? je suis un peu bloquer niveau mobilite, eventuellemnt je pourrai bouger sur melbourne ms j'ai ensuite un billet d'avion Sydney-Adelaide dc ne peux pas me permettre de partir a l'autre bout du pays genre Perth pour trouver du taf.
Merci pour vos precieuses infos! ciao tutti Lilie

Salut a Vous trotteur du Globe!
Alors en reponse a mes questions ci-dessus, je vous donne les reponses...😉 Je suis arrivee il y a deux semaines, pas recherche de taf la 1e semaine, trop occupee a m'acheter un portable et me refaire la garde-robe!😎 Une semaine de recherche pas tres intense et je commence mon taf ce lundi. Alors les tuyaux, s'adressent uniquement aux detenteurs du WH visa (pour le reste, je ne connais pas):
1) Si vous etes "fluent" en anglais, vous pouvez esperer trouver un job (office job, admin, data entry, banking, etc) sans soucis et rapidement a cette periode, c'est l'hiver ici donc moins d'etrangers et plus d'offres. Le mieux c'est de passer par une agence qui chapotte pleins d'autres agences. Je suis passee par Freespirit www.freespirit.com.au, offices situes en plein centre ville. Rapide entretien avec eux et ils ont directement envoye mon cv (resume) a 5-6 agences de recrutement et dans l'apres-midi mon portable est devenu fou!🤪 Je me suis retrouvee avec 2 offres d'emploi, je n'avais plus qu'a choisir!😎
2) Si vous bredouillez l'anglais ou que vous ne le parlez pas aisaiement, dans tous les hostels vous avez des talbeaux avec des offres d'emploi genre serveuse, bar staff, bosser dans le batiment pour les mecs meme sans experience(enormement d'offre!), etc Vous pouvez aussi vous inscrire avec Harvest Australia, une agence specialise dans le fruitpicking et travaux saisonniers sur la cote Est. Je m'y etais inscrite aussi et ils m'ont contacte des le lendemain pour me proposer d'etre house help (menage, babysitting, cooking...) pour un mois dans le Queensland, logement et nourriture gratuit+plein d'autres avantages mais pas payer. C'est une autre option pour ceux qui veulent voyager et economiser sans forcement besoin de remonter la sante de votre compte en banque😉
Ah aussi, IMPORTANT: dans tous les cas, dites que vous etes la pour 6mois, meme si ce n'est que pour un. Les contracts sont entre 3 et 6 mois. mon job par exemple c'est pour jusqu'a decembre mais je reste la 2mois seulement avant de reprendre la route... ooops!😛
Voila, no worries donc!

salut salut!
Oui oui, je sais, je me fais la causette toute seule...:) Juste pour vous donnez qq infos complementaires sur le Down Under et le taf ici :) J'apprete a quitter Kangourouland dans 24h, actuellement a Perth. L'australie et qq chiffres pour vous:
4.5% de chomage niveau national soit plein emploi. 1% de chomage a Perth ou les boutiques et toutes entreprises pleurent a qui voudra venir travailler ici. Meme le centre commercial Myer a Perth ont deja pose les affiches de staff pour la periode de noel, c'est vous dire!
J'ai taffer presque 2mois a Sydney, 570$/semaine net et en econimisant a donf chaque centimes, je n'ai pas reussi a economiser plus de 3300$ sur mon compte...🤪 Sydney et la cote Est sont en general tres cher... Pour ceux qui peuvent, je conseillerai plutot de venir tafer sur Perth, vous trouverez dans tout et n'importe quoi (menage, Mcdo, offices, construction, etc...) rapidement et meme si les salaires sont un peu plus faibles qu'a Sydney, proportionnellement vous y gagnerez car la vie y est tout de meme beaucoup moins chere! Meme les transports, vous pouvez diviser les prix par deux compare a Sydney... sans compter la zone de transport gratuit... Et Perth est une ville tres agreable (1.5 millions hab contre 4 a Sydney, Western Australia represente 1/3 du territoire des Kangourous avec une population totale de 2millions soit 1/10 de la population aussie).
Voila, c'etait juste des infos complementaires en live depuis Perth 😉

Coucou !
Je suis tombé sur ce forum en cherchant des infos pour partir en Australie et je vois qu'il y a beaucoup de personnes qui peuvent répondre a mes nombreuses questions ici 😄 . Alors voila j'aurais dix neuf ans dans deux mois je vais passer mon bac , dans une semaine et sincèrement il est peu probable que je l'obtienne , j'ai décidé avec mon copain de partir en Australie l'année prochaine pendant un an en esperant trouver du travail là-bas . Alors je voudrais savoir si il est possible de trouver du travail sans avoir aucun diplome ( si je n'ai pas mon BAC 🤪 ) ? Quel genre de travail nous pouvons trouver et si il n'est pas trop dur de trouver ? Comment on se loge la bas au debut ? J'ai entendu dire que il y avait des backpacker mais je suppose que on ne peut pas y rester durant des mois 😄 donc si c'est possible de se loger dans une sorte d'appartement avec le salair gagner ? J'ai assez peur de partir sans être bien preparer et de rien trouver la bas 🤪 . De plus mon ami ne parle pas reelement bien l'anglais il a bien l'intention d'en apprendre d'avantage avant le depart , mais sa risque d'etre un frein a sa recherche de boulot non ? Voila lol sa fais beaucoup de questions ^^ je risque même d'en poser d'autre plus tard!
Je vous remercie d'avance pour vos prochaines réponse qui m'aideront surement enormément et me rassureront probablement 😄

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’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 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.

You can send me a message.

Hi there,
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.

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! ☺️
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?

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.
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!

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
