Original post
Salut tout le monde...
Voilà mon ami et moi avons 28ans. nous avons 2 petits garçons de 3ans 1/2 et 5ans 1/2. Nous avons un reve commun depuis quelques années... nous installer en Martinique. Mon ami a une licence en management du sport et moi une formation (suisse) d'employée de commerce ainsi qu'une bonne formation d'horlogère...
Nous souhaitons trouver du travail la bas avant de partir. Nous partons prospecter en juin... nos enfants sont petits et nous pensons qu'il faut partir rapidement avant qu'ils n'aient trop de copains ici !!!
Un petit plus, mon beau frère est installé la bas depuis 4 ans et je pense qu'il pourra nous aider... malheureusement il n'a pas encore d'enfants et ne peut pas trop m'informer sur les sujets que je redoute. de plus il vit avec une martiniquaise ce qui lui a favoriser son intégration. J'ai juste un peu peur par rapport aux enfants... seront ils intégrés facilement dans ces écoles... es que le niveau est correct... es qu'ils ne subiront pas trop de "racisme" ??? Nous avons terriblement envie de vivre enfin notre reve... blasés par nos emplois et par le rude climat jurassien !!! Nous sommes tous les 4 avenants et très flexibles. Si vous pouvez me donner des conseils pour me lancer sereinement dans cette aventure, ils seront vraiment les bienvenus !!! A très bientot...

Bonjour,
J'habite en Martinique depuis bientôt deux ans, je vais tenter de t'apporter quelques réponses. L'intégration tout d'abord, elle est assez simple. Ca reste la France, avec ses défauts et ses qualités, la culture n'est pas à des années lumières de la Métropole. Se faire des amis ici n'est pas chose aisée, en comparaison avec le midi de la France par exemple, où l'on devient ami très avec un peu tout le monde, en sachant que c'est pas des amitiés qui dureront forcément longtemps, on boit un coup ensemble de temps en temps, on se donne un coup de main quand y a besoin et voilà. Ici, je n'ai pas trouvé ça. C'est plus des clans, chacun de son côtés. Après ça dépend sûrement des gens, d'où vous vous installez et des personnes que vous connaissez sur place.
Je n'ai pas d'enfants et je n'ai pas été à l'école ici. Honnetement, je pense qu'ils n'auront pas de problème. Le niveau est identique à celui de France, tout est une question d'établissements, y en a des bons et des moins bons, c'est comme partout. En ce qui concerne le racisme, je n'en ai jamais fait l'expérience, ça ne veut pas dire que ça n'existe pas... Ca doit dépendre aussi des villes/quartiers, et les mauvaises rencontres ne sont pas impossible.
Enfin, il faut savoir que la vie en Martinique est chère... la nourriture (faut pas s'étonner de voir le kg de tomates à 15€, une laitue à 8€ et une pizza surgelée à 11€ -biensûr on trouve moins cher!), l'essence, l'immobilier (je ne connais pas le marché jurassien!) etc... Je vous deconseille absolument de venir vous installer ici si aucun de vous deux n'a de travail lors de votre arrivée. Aussi, si vous comptez déménager tous vos meubles, pensez-y à deux fois. Le climat ne se prête pas à tous les styles, il y a des matériaux (certains bois) qu'on trouve en Europe qui n'aiment pas du tout la chaleur et l'humidité permanente et donc ne tiennent pas.
Voilà, je ne voudrais pas anéantir vos rêves! Il serait bon de venir faire un tour tous les 4, prendre la température, voir differents endroits. N'hésitez pas à poser d'autres questions, j'y répondrais si possible. Et surtout n'abandonnez pas votre rêve!

Des réponses comme celles de Defee me fond bondir, vivant moi meme à la Martinique je n'ai de mémoir jamais connue un Kilo de tomate à 15 euros, meme dans le super marché le plus cher de l'ile mais nous ne sommes pas là pour débattre du meilleur cout de la tomate, mais tout simplement pour t'apporter des informations, la Martinique est avant tout un département Français qui dispose des memes conditions d'éducation scolaire que la France, et comme en France il existe de bons établissement, des moyens et des moins biens, le Martinquais n'est pas plus raciste que le Français de la France hexagonale, tout simplement qu'au meme titre il mérite respect comme tout les etres humains de la planete, donc ne t'inquiete pas pour tes enfants je suis sure qu'ils pourront se faire des copains sans problèmes, concernant le travail à la Martinique celui qui se donne les moyens de chercher du travail en trouve (comme dans tous les autres pâys, pour ma part j'ai su faire confiance à un couple fraichement débarqué à la Martinique qui n'avait encore de travail mais de solides garanties j'ai accepter de leur louer ma maison pour leur permettre de s'installer, et en un an ils ont tous les 2 du boulot, Je crois qu'ils faut arreter de ternir l'image d'un pays, laissons de coté nos préjugés, acceptons les gens, traitons les avec un peu respect et n'oublions pas que la Martinique est une terre d'accueil, , si tu rencontre quelques difficultés pour t'y installer adresse moi un mail et je t'aiderai dans la mesure du possible, ne passe surtout pas à coté de tes rèves et si les choses ne fonctionnenet pas comme tu le souhaites nous ne sommes qu'à 8 ooo Klms de Paris pas à des années lumières
Bienvenue à la Martinique et une petite photo pour te mettre en appetit
Merci beaucoup mimi. il est vrai que le message de defee m'a fait un peu peur !!! mais je ne reste pas sur une seule impression... de plus, le frere de mon ami habite la Martinique avec sa chérie depuis 5 ans. ils ont une maison aux trois ilets. ils travaillent tout les deux chez afflelou "optique" à fort de france. Si des fois vous connaissez !!! Donc nous connaissons quelques petites choses déjà. Et chaque conversations téléphoniques avec lui nous donnent encore plus envie de le rejoindre !!! Malheureusement il n'a pas d'enfants donc ne peut pas trop me renseigner !!! Et moi c'est ma priorité... Donc.... je cherche des témoignages !!! En sachant bien sur que si nous leurs inculquons une éducation digne du respect des autres, ils sauront s'adapter !!! J'ai juste un peu peur des questions que pourraient poser mon petit de 3 ans, il n'a pas sa langue dans sa poche et dit un peu tout ce qui lui passe par la tete... du style... pourquoi t'es tout noir !!! j'ai un peu peur de la réaction des gens la bas !!! enfin, je vais essayée de ne pas me stresser pour si peu !!! Nous débarquons sur votre ile le 9 juin pour 15 jours de bohneur !!! Ce sera ma première fois et la 5eme pour mon ami... Je suis pressée de tout découvrir votre ile autrement que par des livres et des magazines !!! Bien j'espère pouvoir un jour vous rencontrer !!! qui sait !!!! En tout cas merci de m'encourager et a bientot !!!

DES REPONSES COMME CA ME METTE HORS DE MOI. NE ET GRANDI EN MARTINIQUE JE NE PENSE PAS QUE JE POURRAIS T'ORIENTER VERS UN BOULOT OU QUELQUE CHOSE DE CE GENRE.
J'AI EFFFECTUE TOUTE MA SCOLARITE EN MARTINIQUE ET IL NE M'ONT PAS JUGER CAR MA LICENCE EST SIGNE PAR LE RECTEUR ACADEMIQUE DE LA MARTINIQUE. CERTAINS ONT TENDANCE A L'OUBLIER MAIS LA MARTINIQUE EST UN DEPARTEMENT FRANCAIS DONC L'EDUCATION NATIONAL Y EST EGALEMENT. VOS ENFANTS N'AURONT AUCUNE DIFFICULTE A VIVRE LA BAS ET SE FERONT PLEIN D'AMIS. EN CE QUI CONCERNE LE RACISME JE NE CONNAISSAIS PAS LA SIGNIFICATION DE CE MOT AVANT DE M'ETRE INSTALLE A PARIS. MAINTENANT JE SUIS INSTALLER AUX ETATS UNIS OU MA LICENCE DE LANGUE EST RECONNU. DONC NE LAISSE PERSONNE BRISER TON REVE D'ALLER LA BAS. TON BEAU FRERE Y EST DEJA DONC VOILA.

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 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.
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?
Thanks in advance!

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!
Cheers,

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! ☺️

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,

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!^^
