Je reviens tout juste d'un voyage en Europe qui a durée trois mois et demie. J'ai parcourue une grande partie du continent et je me suis vraiment amusé. J'avais réussi a me trouver du travail en France( j'ai fait les vendanges pendant une semaine) en faisant des recherches sur internet.
Pour mon prochain voyage, j'aimerais travailler dans les alpes( peu importe lesquelles) préférablement sur une station de ski offrant aussi le logement. Est-ce que par hasard quelqu'un détiendrait des informations à ce sujet?
C'est un peu tard pour trouver ce genre de boulot. les saisonniers (bars, chalets, restos, magasins) sont engages en octobre novembre au plus tard pour la saison complete.. Peut etre une chance c'est qu'il y en a toujours qui quittent tot pour raison "medicale " ou autre, mais generalement les remplacants sont trouves sur place et sur la station elle meme. Peut etre verifiez les websites des stations ils ont toujours des petites annonces ou des links, mais si vous n'etes pas sur place pour vous presenter rapidement vous n' aurez que peu de chance.
Merci beaucoup pour la reponse! Au fait, je planifiais justement retourner y travailler pour l'année prochaine afin d'y passer la saison d'hiver au complet.
J'avais essayer d'envoyer quelques mails cette année (debut janvier) mais je n'avais eu aucune réponse alors je me cherchais un autre moyen de procéder pour l'an prochain. Peut-etre si je me prend d'avance j'aurai plus de chance. On verra bien et merci encore!
conseil pour l'an prochain donc...
Beaucoup d'agences anglaises prennent les CV a partir de mai pour ceux qui veulent travailler en chalet ou guide pour les clients si votre niveau ski est bon (ca vaut peut etre la peine de passer des exams au Canada) agences comme Bladon Line. Mark Warner etc si vous parlez anglais. UCPA ou club med si vous parlez seulement le francais.La paye pas geniale mais des commissions et bouffe, logement et ski pass gratuit.
travailler comme serveur ... ca paye mieux mais moins l'occasion de skier a cause des horaires. annonces sur les webs des restos ou de la station
Barman Le top si vous pouvez suivre le rythme beaucoup de boulot la nuit et du ski le jour. annonces restos ou de la station.
gardez en tete que l'autriche et la suisse sont tres facile pour trouver du boulot quand on est pas du pays. La France et l'Italie aussi mais les meilleurs boulots vont souvent aux enfants du pays ;)
Pensez aussi vous pouvez doubler avec la saison en Australie et celle en Europe( j'ai passee 3 ans sur mes skis :)
Bonne chance
Faire des saisons c'est ce qu'il y a de mieux!!!
Wow merci beaucoup pour toute cette information. Vraiment géniale d'entendre que c'est possible de la part de quelqu'un qui l'a déja fait. Je vais définitivement tenter de me tenir au courant des offres sur les différents sites de ski. Je pensais plus travailler en suisse alors que j'ai déja profiter du visa vacances travail en France pour cette année et un tel visa n'est disponible qu'une fois dans sa vie... Justement vous parlez de saisons de skis... en Suisse je me demandais de quand a quand c'étendait cette saison? Decembre à Mars?? Puis en Australie de mai a Juillet??
En Europe le staff a tendance a arriver deuxieme quinzaine de Novembre jusqu'a fin Avril ( la date depend toujours de paques... qui change chaque annee😛) pour l'australie depends were you are but June July August not quite the best ski New Zealand much better snow and mountains on the south island june july august.
Suisse les salaires sont plus eleves aussi qu'en France si tu as besoin d'aide sur les stations il n'y a qua demander🙂
Mais attention le staff est pris bien avant les dates de debut de saison.
tu est snowboarder ou skieur?
Je suis skieur, pas le meilleur mais c'est un sport qui me plais et ce qui m'a surtout incité a m'informer sur cette possibilité est qu'en voyage je rencotrais plusieurs personnes qui l'avais fait et qui m'ont tous dit que c'etait super. De se lever a chaque jour et pouvoir respirer le grand air puis, plus tard, profiter de la nuit, sortir et rencontrer des gens... ca serait une grande évasion et ca me permettrait de profiter de la vie au tant que possible pendant que c'est encore le temps. Vous dites connaitre des stations de skis en suisse? Je suis ouvert a toutes suggestions et je suis justement en train de me monter une liste des endroits qui pourraient me plairent alors si vous croyez que votre expérience peut m'etre utile je suis toutes ouie!! Puis tant qu'a vous avoir, comment vous y etes vous pris pour trouver ces emplois? Sur internet ou en vous rendant sur place? Pour moi cette option est plus risqué alors que je demeure au Quebec. Merci encore et dites moi si j'abuse haha.
j'ai fait trois saisons a verbier en ch. Les hotels, pubs etc recherchent toujours du monde Essaie le pub montfort et l'hotel farinet les deux ont des sites web et le pub prend des candidatures en ligne.
Il n'y a pas mieux que de faire des saisons. Et souvent c'est a partir de ta premiere saison que tu te fais des contacts avec les autres "ski bums" et continue sur d'autres stations ou pays. Le plus facile est de prendre des stations ou les anglais vont pour deux raisons 1) les anglais utilisent les bars et restaurants a l'inverse des francais qui montent avec leur bouffe donc il y a plus d'emploi 2) si tu veut te faire des copains dans une multitude de pays tu trouvera toujours beaucoup de canadiens, australiens kiwis et americains aussi.
d'autre chouette a essayer whistler au Canada. Chamonix, meribel en france, Snowbird in Utah et Jacksonhole in wyhoming pour les US trible cone pres de Wanaka pour la nouvelle zelande
et la ce n'en est que quelques une.. Le monde est une grande piste skiable mais celle que je viens de te donner sont fab pour le ski.
Comme toujours travail derriere un bar est le mieux pour le temps libre a skier et le nombre de gens que tu rencontrera. Mes meilleurs copains de 20 ans et plus sont tous des gens avec lesquels j'ai fait des saisons... (pourquoi... parcequ'ils voyageront toujours pour garder le contact et feter avec toi les evenements de ta vie)
arhhhhhhhhhhh ca fait envie encore... les saisons c'est un virus difficile ca vous prend un jour mais ca ne te lachera jamais Veinard!!!!
Bonne chance et non ne t'inquiete pas au niveau des questions c'est aussi l'idee de passer son experience et d'encourager des jeunes comme toi a explorer, et les aider a realiser leur reve.
Ca fait plaisir en fait...... envie et jalousie aussi .... mais plaisir
Bonne chance

Merci beaucoup!
Alexandre
oui effectivement c'est trop tard.
Dans un journal local gratuit genre Voir ou je ne sais plus lequel j'ai vu dans les petits annonces un recrutement de candidats québecois pour travailler en station de ski
Tentes-toujours ta chance sur place avec un PVT tu auras certainement des chances d'être recruté

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!^^
