nous aurions quellques question d ordre pratique donc si quelqun pouvait nous eclairer un peu ca serai super sympa
merci
re-bonjour,
en meme temps si je pose pas de question on risque pas de me repondre......(quelle tache!!!)
j aurais aimé savoir si c galere pour le logement, les prix, les coin sympas, le cout de la vie, la mentalité, la situation par rapport a la greve etc.... merci
Ma mère a habité en Guadeloupe, j'y ai donc passé quelques mois... C'est un endroit magnifique, incroyable. A propos des loyers et de la nourriture, c'est assez cher (principalement parce qu'ils importent la bouffe), mais, et c'est triste à dire, j'ai l'impression que les salaires des métropolitains sont aussi plus élevés... Au niveau de la mentalité, il ne faut pas se voiler la face, les métro qui s'installent là-bas sont mal vus... il arrive souvent d'avoir quelques problèmes. Mais il ne faut pas faire de généralité, il y en a qui sont vraiment super, ça dépend sur qui vous tombez !
La Guadeloupe est vraiment magnifique, il y a beaucoup de choses à faire (à condition de se bouger), plongée, randonnée, nager avec les requins et les grandes raies, les iles alentours ... bon, évidement on a vite fait le tour... mais c'est comme partout !
En Guadeloupe, l'ile est divisée en deux, la grande terre et la basse terre... je pense qu'il vaut mieux viser la basse terre pour le logement (moins touristique que la grande terre, et plus belle car plus végétale), mais c'est à vérifier.
En tous cas je pense que c'est une chouette expérience, alors profitez-en !
merci bcp degena pour tes renseignement,
tu est au courant de la sitiuation pout trouver du boulot, je ne suis ni difficile ni feneant donc meme des petit boulot pour debuter et gerer l urgence ferons l affaire
Concernant le boulot, les métropolitains trouvent plus facilement du boulot que les antillais (malgré un taux de chomage des plus élevés parmis les départements français), car les patrons sont blancs pour la plupart et font plus facilement confiance à leurs compatriotes (parfois à juste titre). Dans le secteur commercial et industriel, la plupart des boites sont à Baie-Mahault au milieu de l'île. il y a beaucoup d'embouteillages dans cette zone Pointe-à-Pitre/Baie-Mahault/Lamentin.
Pour le secteur touristique et la restauration, les activités se concentrent sur Gosier / Sainte-Anne/Saint François et la côte sous le vent, en Basse-Terre ;et Baie-Mahault (restauration).
Les CHU sont à Pointe-à-Pitre et à Basse-Terre si ta copine doit y travailler. Il y a d'autres établissements de santé dans d'autres communes environnantes.
pour le logement, c'est en général assez cher (moins que dans les grandes villes de France tout de même) sur la côte sud de la Grande Terre, en s'éloignant de cette zone, on peut trouver des prix résonnables.
Si tu as d'autres questions, n'hésite pas.
merci fousik pour la precision de tes renseignements c est cool!!! 😉
ma copine sera aux ABYMES pour l IUFM donc on essaiera de trouver dans le coin pour le logement et le boulot j appreande un peu parceque je n ais pas de formation particuliere vu que j etais dans les commando de l air maitre chien et qu il n y a pas d equivalence dans le civil, mais bon... je suis travailleur et on a un peu d argent de cote pour gerer l urgence . je me demandais si ca valait le coup de faire venir: voiture, meuble, HIFI ou d en acheter une sur place on a aussi 1 chien et 2 chats mais je pense qu on va d abord s installer avant de les faire venir (ca sera plus pratique)
merci passe une bonne journee 🙂
sALUT oû
vous verrez que tout est plus cher ici. Cela peut valoir le coup de faire venir vos biens dans un conteneur. Pour la voiture, vous pouvez en trouver d'occas' à prix raisonnable si ça vous intéresse. La plupart des choses achetées ici coûtent au moins 22% + chers qu'en France. Mais calculez bien ce que cela vous coûtera de tout emporter.
Je ne sais pas quel secteur embauche le plus en ce moment. je pense que la restauration et le bâtiment sont toujours demandeurs.
Vous pensez arrivez à quelle période ?
Bonjour à tous, je m'apelle etienne et j'ai 20ans.
Je suis actuellement une formation BTS production bois et ameublement et compte m'installer par la suite en martinique dans le but principal de découvrir le pays 😛.
J'ai quelques questions !,
Peut_on facilement trouvé du travail dans cette filière en martinique ?
Quelle est le niveau de vie ? le racisme est-il un vrai problême ?
Merci de me répondre , au revoir !
j en sais rien du tout tieno mais d apres ce que j ai compris il n y a pas plus de racisme qu ailleurs sauf que la c'est nous "les differents" et nous n y sommes pas habituer donc je pense que dès que quelqu'un a un regard un peu insistant mais pas forcement mauvais nous faisons une fixation dessus et l interpretons mal donc soyons naturelle et ouvert comme partout.... et ca devrai le faire pour le boulot j en ais aucune idee
merde pour la suite et bonne continuation 😉

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!^^
