Bonjour,
SVP comment est la ville de Ste Clotilde?:belle, bonne à vivre, à y travailler, bonne ambiance, loisir, à prox. des plages, poluée, loyer coûteux, est ce qu'avec 2300E net de salaire mensuel, on peut bien y vivre?
Merci d'avance pour vos info. ANT1
Merci d'avance pour vos info. ANT1
slt, ste clodilde fait partie du chef lieu st denis
c'est un endroit avec bcp d'immeubles et c'est la plus forte concentration de population sur l'ile
question loyers 600 euros un F2, 750 un F3 tout ça en appart
pour une caze F3 compter 900 euros a ste Clotilde et de moins en moins chéres sur les hauts
question loisirs pas de plage vu qu'on est dans le nord, il faut passer par la mythique route du littoral route de la mort avec ses éboulis, mais bon on fait avec, tout dépend ce que tu recherches, en terme de loisirs, pas de chute libre, pas de parapente, pas de kitesurf a ste clotilde requins oblige, par contre il y a tt ce qu'il faut, piscine squash, pelote, salles de sports, gymnases, c'est une population trés sportive avec plein de structures associatives.
voila a +
kam
M'boténayo Kamiko,
Je te remercie beaucoup pour ta prompte réponse, je ne sais pas pourquoi mais j'étais sûr que si qqu'un allait me répondre, ce serait toi. Vu que sur ce forum tu es la personne qui sait tout de la Réunion.
Une petite question, quelles sont les spécialités culinaires de l'île qui sont incontournables ?
Car pour moi la bonne cuisine épicée est une religion.
Aussi est ce qu'on peut vivre correctement avec 2000E net par mois?
Enfin quel est le meilleur moyen pour découvrir la chaleur de la population de l'île?
Merci d'avance
ANT1
PS: M'boté c'est bonjour en lingala, langue de mon lieu de naissance.
ben tu dis que je sais tout, heu il me manque plein d'infos, car il y a des domaines qui ne m'intéressent pas ds Mon île, ma famille est arrivée ici en 1724, mm si je suis blanc je m'estime créole, donc concernant la cuisine, nous avons les carry et les rougails, les carry avec toutes sortes de viandes ce sont des plats épicés de curcuma, c'est notre safran a nous, et les rougails (saucisse, Miammm et morure Re Miammmmm) sont les préférés des réunionnais les plats sont accompagnés de grains (haricots, 8 variétés différentes), et en accompagnement aussi il y a les rougails piments, et achards.
il ne faut pas que je te raconte trop de choses
j'avais oublié le canyoning prés de ste clotilde ds la région est, c'est a faire pour la chaleur locale il faut faire le marché forrain du dimanche matin a ste clotilde quartier du chaudron, là on découvre le meltingpot local. ce que tu trouveras a zoreil land (la ville des blancs de france qui se trouve a st gilles prés des plages) ne sera que du superficiel
Avec 2000 euros tout va bien pour un tout seul :) il faut pas vouloir vivre a la mode française comme je vois ici des pleurnichards qui veulent leurs yaourts, pavés de bœuf et saucisson a 2 euros, Local faut vivre comme ns, la cuisine est suffisement variée pour ne pas avoir besoin de faire d'excès, avec cette paye tu pourras passer 1 semaine a maurice dans un hôtel 4 étoiles en novembre.
Mais tu viens d'afrique et tu comprends ce que je veux dire
écoute, regarde, intégre toi doucement, pose des questions va vers les gens, nedonne pas de conseils au début a qui que ce soit, et achéte toi une voiture, voilà bye bye

Salut à toi!
Encore merci pour tes réponses, je me léche déjà les babines et il y a tant de choses à faire.
Oui je suis africain dans l'âme, je suis né à Brazzaville Congo à l'hôpital militaire un soir de l'année 1978.
De parents "blancs" expatriés, un pére bourgignon bien blanc et une madre eurasienne viet, le mélange que je suis me fait passer pour tout ce que je veux, je suis un caméléon. Rentré en France en 1990 définitevement à cause de la guerre civile avec une trés grosse larme à l'oeil, le retour fût trés dur. Ainsi jusqu'à l'age de 12 ans j'ai grandi avec la chaleur équatoriale non déplaisante et surtout avec la chaleur hospitaliere de l'afrique noire, celle ou une assiete de plus pour un nouveau venu n'est pas un probléme, bref je pense que tu sais de quoi je parle. Pour information à Brazza les spécialités sont le saka-saka (genre d'épinards mais en plus épicé et meilleur), manioc préparé et embalé dans des feuilles (pain local pour sucer), foufou (pain local pour saucer, mais qui colle un peu aux doigts), poisson fumé séché puis préparé en sauce au piment, poulet à la mouambe (la mouambe est une huile orange obtenue en pilant les noix de palme, délicieux), safous (fruit-légume qui pousse dans un arbre et pend comme une mangue, ressemble à une aubergine alongée avec un gros noyau, se cuit), toun'dou ( fruit rouge alongé, intérieur blanc avec petites graines noires pousse dans la fôret, trés bon, les gorils aussi en rafollent) etc... mais peut être que sur ton île ces fruits et certains de ces plats existent aussi ?
Si je viens sur ton île je ne pense pas vivre à la française, sinon je reste en France... les spé. locales de tout endroit doivent être découvertes. Aussi je suis rassuré quand tu me dis qu'en vivant local on peut bien vivre avec ce salaire. Bref pour s'intégrer sur ton île il faut faire comme partout ailleurs, observer, poser des questions pour mieux connaître les moeurs et sutout ne pas donner des leçons ou critiquer celui que tu ne connais pas.
Je te remercie encore pour tous tes bons conseils et informations, c'est bien que tu ne m'aies pas tout dit et je pense que c'est de toutes façons impossible car ta culture doit être tellement vaste et interressante.
A bientôt j'espere et passe le bonjour à ton île de ma part.

Bonjour je pars m'installer en Afrique de l'Ouest au mois de Novembre date de mon départ à la retraite.J'ai passé qelques années 25 en Côte d'Ivoire des années superbes dans tous les domaines mais en particulier dans mon travail à la télé éducative .Je compte m'installer en Casamance.

Ciao bounino,
Je suis opticien diplômé, et toi ? Ingé en quoi? Mon pére est gadzar.
Tu habites à Cannes, tu as beaucoup de chance car toi tu as déjà le soleil. Je souhaite passer ma retraite à cet endroit, mais un peu plus dans les hauteurs, genre Cabris, Le Tignet ou Spéracedes, afin d'avoir un peu plus de fraicheur quand ça tape fort sur la côte. De plus je trouve que dans les hauteurs il y a moins cette image de "je roule le touriste" ainsi que l'équation fric + strass + paillettes de la croisette. J'ai déjà regardé les prix de l'immo. mais alors c'est trés trés coûteux et étant déjà propriétaire, je ne trouve pas toujours que ça vaut le prix demandé, mais bon c'est comme ça, c'est la spéculation et surtout le bon climat de la côte d'azur.
En revanche dans le sud, il n'y a pas beaucoup de bonne opportunité professionnelle, le mieux est je pense d'ouvrir sa boite.
Qu'en penses - tu ?
A+
ANT1
Ben normalement dans les télécoms chez un opérateur de téléphonie mobile.
Je dois avoir un dernier entretien et j'espere fortement pouvoir partir.
Oui Cannes c'est sympa mais bon la mentalité me correspond pas trop trop et la culture réunionnaise me semble forte intéréssente.... enfin la en ce moment je suis a aix en provence vers marseille et les seules oportunité" professionnel intéréssente se trouve à Paris Strasbourg ou Lyon... et la Réunion.
Niveau professionel pour toi il est surement plus intéréssant d'ouvrir sa boite en effet, dans la région ca marche beaucoup sur les connaissances malheuresement, après il y a du boulot ... enfin pas dans ma spécialité

Salut,
L'afrique est un pays chaud par son climat mais surtout par son hospitalité, l'individualisme en tout cas lorsque j'y vivais, n'existait pas. Tu as faim, il y aura une assiete pour toi qui est de passage, je pense que tu vois ce que je veux dire.
Le seul HIC, c'est le pouvoir qui vole les richesses du pays à la SESESEKO, N'GUESSO, BONGO ETC.. et qui laisse crever de faim le peuple; pire encore, étant donné que le continent a été découpé par les blancs sans tenir compte des ethnies, lorsqu'un representant d'une ethnie a le pouvoir (souvent mis là par un GVT occidental ou americain pour prendre les marchés), son ethnie bénéficie de bons postes dans le fonctionaria etc... et les autres crévent de faim jusqu'à ce qu'il y est un nouveau soulevement et une nouvelle guerre civile. C'est un cercle vicieux et c'est toujours les enfants et les femmes qui trinquent. L'afrique a tout ce qu'il faut, si tout était bien géré et redistribué, ce serait les occidentaux qui fuiraient leur continent et non l'inverse.
Le probléme est que tout ça arrange bien certains haut placés occidentaux et les intérets sont bien gardés, la misére sur place aussi...mes parents sont encore à Brazzaville, mon pére me dit qu'il voit tous les jours l'opulence des dirigeants qui roulent en HUMMER, voilà dans quoi vont les richesses en plus d'être sur des comptes Suisse (je travaille en Suisse, je parle de ce que je sais), donc pas d'argent pour les hôpitaux, pour refaire les routes défoncées, pour les écoles, les gosses déscolarisés restent dans les rues, inoccupés ils se défoncent au chanvre et à la colle, puis à cause de la faim, deviennent voyoux pour survivre, la police et la milice, pas payés par l'état rackettent la population. Toutes les instalations(eaux, elec.)sont vétustes, pas entretenues.
Bref tu vois le tableau, tout en sachant que le Congo Brazza a tellement de richesses, le pétrole à Pointe Noire, le bois exotique et bien d'autres encore.
Si tu as le temps va lire sur internet "Le monde diplomatique".
J'aime ce continent car c'est ma terre natale et comme tu peux le constater, tout ce qui se passe ne me laisse pas indiférent.
En revanche, la population est courageuse car malgré tout ça, elle essaye de s'en sortir, de garder le sourire et j'espere qu'un jour cette rude épreuve pour eux se terminera car personne sur cette terre ne mérite ça.
Qu'en penses tu ?

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 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! 🥺🏻

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! 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!^^
