Salut,
J'habite Melbourne (Australie) depuis 7 ans, je suis australien d'origine mauricienne. Pour t'aider de decroche du boulot, tu peux jetter un coup d'oeil sur ce site www.seek.com.au mais c'est en anglais je sais pas ton niveau d'anglais. En terme d'etudes que veux tu faire? diplome? il yen a tas mais tout dependrais sur ton niveau. j'espere que ca t'aides. bye.
bonjour,
tu veux partir pour plus de 6 mois en Australie? y es tu allée au moins pour les vacances?
pour te rendre compte un peu sur place de la vie,
tout est fait pour les "backbakers"-je ne suis pas sur de l'ortographe- c'est pas mal
mais il y a beaucoup de jeunes qui partent avec visa qui permet au jeune de travailler et qui déchantent très
vite car ils reviennent, j'y suis allée l'été dernier et j'ai discutée avec des français sur place, et ce n'était pas
la joie, l'accent est très dur à comprendre et la vie n'est pas donner, si malgré tout tu veux partir passe par
le consulat le visa jeune est très facile à obtenir,
pour l'appartement il vaut mieux le prendre en colocation, car les loyer sont hors de prix...
si tu as besoin de plus d'infos n'hésite pas, mais sache que l'Australie fait réver mais ce n'est pas la terre promise
schawna
la réalité est beaucoup plus intéressante que ses rêves....
la réalité est beaucoup plus intéressante que ses rêves....
Merci de mavoir repondu.
Au niveau des etudes jai une licence commerce option import-export et depuis 1ans et demi je travaille dans le commerce (banque, services..) donc jaimerais poursuivre mes etudes dans le commerce internationale
Au niveau de l'emploi je sais qu'il est difficile de trouver un job en australie donc je naurais pas trop de pretentions (bars..)
et toi que fais-tu en australie?

Salut Corinne,
Je me suis installer a melbourne il y a 7 ans et j'ai aussi etudie a perth ou j'ai fais un diplome de commerce. je travaille dans une banque dans l'audit (excitant!!) (audit = sais pas si c'est le terme francais). Oui je crois etant bilingue j'ai eu de la chance mais je ne pense pas que l'anglais est si difficile a apprendre. Concernant l'emploi tu pourrais essayer les compagnies francaises en australie tel que michelin etc mais si ton anglais est de bon niveau tu pourrrais trouve du bon boulot dans des compagnies car les diplomes de commerce sont en demande. Je pense que le meilleur facon de manier l'anglais c'est la pratique et aussi de faire son temps dans un pays anglophone.

Salut Corinne,

Alors si tu as trouver des infos ça m'intéresse vraiment et on pourrait même échanger nos mails si tu le souhaite.
Bon courage dans tes recherches

Bonjour Bénédicte,
Je suis sylvain j'ai 22 ans, étudiant en BTS technico-commercial, et souhaiterai par la suite perfectionner ma connaissance de l'anglais en Australie.
Je voulais savoir si le réseau que tu voulais en place il y a quelques mois est toujours d'actualité, si c'est le cas j'aurai quelques questions, car je suis un peu perdu en terme de démarches...
Merci.
A+ Sylvain.

Salut Sylvain,
en fait je ne suis plus en Australie (et oui, toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin...). Par contre quelqu'un me remplace dans l'entreprise où je travaillais. Tu peux envoyer un e-mail sur la boîte french@gostudy.com.au, ils te répondront pour les démarches. Si par contre personne ne te répond, j'essayerai de reprendre contact avec mes collègues.
A bientôt, Béné

Bonjour,
Si vous recherchez une école pour apprendre l’anglais en Australie, il est vrai qu’il est dur de faire le tri compte tenu du nombre d’écoles.. En ce qui me concerne, je travaille dans une école situe au centre-ville de Brisbane, International House of Brisbane, que je conseillerai largement. (http://ihbrisbane.com.au/ )
La plupart des écoles offrent un programme très complet et adapté à tous les niveaux ( de débutant a avancé) puisque vous pouvez suivre les cours appelés « General English » si vous voulez simplement améliorer votre anglais ( écrit, oral, écoute et lecture ) ou encore vous inscrire dans les examens d’anglais comme le IELTS ou CAMBRIDGE, très utiles voire indispensables parfois pour trouver un travail ou s’inscrire dans une université.
Dans notre ecole, nous offrons tous ces services. De plus, vous n’êtes pas obliges de vous engager sur une longue durée avec l’école, puisque le minimum requis est d’une semaine, vous pouvez commencer n’importe quelle semaine de l’année et ensuite prolonger d’autant de temps que vous le souhaitez.
Au niveau du logement, l’école propose de placer les étudiants dans des familles d’accueil et elle est également en partenariat avec une résidence étudiante (donc prix intéressants), je vous laisse voir le site : http://www.uniresort.com.au/
Financièrement, l’école propose des prix très raisonnables compares aux autres écoles..
Si vous voulez plus de renseignements, vous pouvez m’envoyer un email à ihbrisbane@hotmail.com ou m’appeler au +61 7 3229 3389

Oui il y a des programmes cours d'anglais avec un petit job sur place une fois que ton niveau d'anglais est meilleur. C'est une bonne opportunité !
Je te conseille dans un premier temps de te renseigner auprès de l'ambassade d'Australie qui peut te donner des conseils, notamment sur les villes où on embauche le plus actuellement.
Il y a aussi des sites spécialisés comme cours-anglais-australie.com qui peuvent te donner des informations sur comment préparer ton voyage.
Je te souhaite un bon séjour en Australie, pays magnifique !
Bonjour à tous, j'envisage de partir en Australie avec un visa WHP en septembre 2013
Je part principalement pour travailler avec un petit budget.
j'ai plusieurs questions, parfois récurrentes sur le forum mais ambiguë.
* Combien coute un logement en location, appt ou autres à la semaine? (le moins cher) que me conseillez vous? * les produits alimentaires de base en grandes surface, sont ils plus cher qu'en France? * Est-il si facile de trouver un emploi sans qualification? combien de l'heure net? * quel job est le mieux rémunérer? * combien coute en location un Van à la journée (van simple)? * quel ville me conseillez vous pour travailler? et à quel période? * Est -il possible de travailler dans les mines à coter de Perth? si oui comment? * Avez vous des adresse pour hébergement ou d'employeur?
merci à ceux qui prennent le temps de lire et de répondre pour partager votre expérience.

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,

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?
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
Hi,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
