Bonjour Claire,
Je devais être affectée à Cayenne... finalement, je me retrouve à Apatou ! Un petit village isolée le long du Maroni, à la frontière du Surinam, uniquement accessible en pirogue. C'est l'aventure totale ! Je vais y passer 6 mois (pour débuter...). Je serais au rythme des 35h, donc je pense que je passerais mes w-e à Kourou, à Cayenne, etc... Pour le logement... il faut que tu regardes sur le site www.blada.com et tu y publies une annonce... les gens te répondent ! Mais il faut que tu commences à chercher... je n'ai pas besoin de logement pour Apatou, mais pour Cayenne j'aurais dû en chercher un... j'avais eu des réponses à travers blada.com mais je n'en ai plus besoin. Je te laisse mon adresse msn : dmu83@hotmail.fr comme ça je pourrais te transférer les propositions de logement. Je suis rarement sur ce forum, donc si tu souhaites m'écrire et faire plus ample connaissance... écris sur mon adresse mail.
Pour tout quitter... c'est sur, c'est un peu flippant ! On laisse quand même sa famille, ses ami(e)s, ses habitudes, son confort, ... au détriment de "l'inconnu" ! Mais je pense que ça va bien se passer, les gens sont accueillants, ... il faut y croire lol !
Mais... pourquoi pas se rencontrer sur place une fois que nous y serons, ou même avant de partir ? Bonne fin de week end a très bientot Diane

Bonjour, je suis infirmière et j'ai trouvé un poste a l'hôpital de cayenne pour le mois de décembre, je souhaiterais obtenir des info sur le boulot là-bas et avoirs des contacts avec des infirmières sur place ou qui y ont déjà travaillé. Je cherche aussi une colocation alors si vous avez des info et tuyau à partager ça serait génial pour me rassurer un peu !
Merci de vos réponse
Bonjour,
Je ne peux pas te renseigner sur le boulot à l'hopital de Cayenne, le peu que j'ai vu c'est le service orthopédie avec des tuyaux au plafond couverts de mousse et des infirmière peu gracieuse... Mais bon je ne voudrais pas dévaloriser cet hopital... peut être que ce sera bien. Pour la coloc tu trouveras sur www.blada.com mais mieux vaut t'y prendre à l'avance.

ok merci pour ta réponse, est ce qu'il y a des ciber-café pour aller sur le net ? comment ça se passe pour le téléphone ? est ce qu'il faut prendre un portable sur place ou je peux emporter le mien ? J'ai 2 chats que j'espère pouvoir emmener avec moi sais tu si il y a des dispositions particulières a prendre pour cela ?
Je te remercie si tu peux m'apporter quelques réponse, j'en ai encore beaucoup d'autre !!!
Il y a des cyber cafés à Cayenne mais tu as aussi le haut débit ue tu peux avoir chez toi. Pour le téléphone, le tien fonctionnera mais tu paieras plus cher par contre il faut que tu vérifies auprès de ton opérateur que tu peux capter en Guyane, je crois qu'ils appellent ça couverture mondiale mais je sais pas trop. Sinon tu peux en prendre un ici aussi. Pour les animaux il faut qu'ils soient dans une cage spéciale pour l'avion, je crois qu'ils doivent être vaccinés contre la rage mais je sais pas trop, le mieux serait de t'adresser à un vétérinaire. Je répondrai à toute tes quetions mais seulement aujourd'hui car dès demain je pars vivre à Apatou sans internet ni tel ni rien pour communiquer
Apatou c'est loin de Cayenne ? Est ce que les transports en communs sont suffisants car je n'aurais pas de voiture ? j'entend dire que la vie est chère que peux tu m'en dire ?
Il n'y a pas de bus comme en métropole, ce sont des taxis co... des sortes de minis bus mais je ne sais même pas s'il existe des horaires... Ce que je peux te conseiller c'est d'investir dans un vélo... Sauf si tu trouves une colloc près de l'hopital, pas besoin dans ce cas. Apatou c'est à 3h de voiture + 2 heures de pirogue !!! lol et y'a pire !!!
Oui la vie est chère pour tous les fruits et légumes qui viennent de métropole exple 500g de fraises à 13euros, les tomates sont à 5 euros le kilo en ce moment... Les produits laitiers sont chers aussi. Mais après faut s'adapter aussi, les frutis et légumes d'ici sont bons aussi... Après tout est un petit peu plus cher mais c'est le prix du transport...
ok c'est noté pour le vélo. J'espère trouver un logement a proximité de l'hôpital alors ! Et au niveau du climat de décembre a juillet je dois prévoir quoi dans ma valise ? plutot k-way ou petite robe !! lol
est ce qu'il y d'autre choses a savoir pour arriver a Cayenne sans soucis ?
Prévois des vêtements légers, 1 ou 2 petites vestes pour les soirs, ou 1 ou 2 hauts à manches longues. U k-way mais le mieux reste le parapluie... Après y'a tout ce qu'il faut sur place. ça dépend si tu compte visiter.... si tu veux bouger en guyane je te conseille une cape de pluie (ou poncho de pluie) une lampe frontale (c'est bien pratique) et puis un hamac mais y'en a plein sur plae (d'ailleurs je vais aller m'en acheter un tout à l'heure). Peut être qu'ils sont moins chers en métropole je ne sais pas. Si tu prends en métropole prend le avec une moustiquaire car il y a des endroits en guyane ou elle est indispensable... Quoi d'autres? Des tongs (ici on appelle ça savates) ou chaussures ouvertes mais quand même une paire de baskets car c'est bien utile en saison des pluie.
De décembre à février il fait très beau après la saison des pluies commence. On dit qu'il y a un petit été en mars et après pluie jusqu'euhhhh avril mai? je suis pas trop sure car comme en métrpole les saisons sont un peu détraquées... quoi qu'il en soit même en saison des pluies il fait chaud et les averses durent souvent 5 minutes et après hop c'est bon.... y'a des exceptions aussi...
ok je vais prendre le minimum vital et j'aviserai sur place. oui je me suis faite vacciner il y a 5 ans pour aller en afrique, et d'ailleur faut il prévoir un traitement contre le pallu ?
Est ce que c'est une ville animée, bars resto ? c'est au bord de la mer je crois, est ce qu'on peut se baigner ?
Pas besoin de traitement contre le pallu sur le littoral mais si tu vas faire un cours séjour sur les fleuves oui tu peux. Oui il y a des bars et resto, y'a juste qq quartiers à éviter la nuit . Tu entendras parler de la crique et de "chicago". Sinon on parle de violence mais en 2 ans je n'ai jamais eu de problème je pense qu'il faut juste ne pas prendre de risque.
Oui Cayenne est près de la mer, tu pourras t'y baigner. en ce moment l'eau est plutôt belle, parfois elle est vraiment marron mais elle est très chaude! C'est pas pareil qu'en métropole !
merci beaucoup pour toutes tes réponses, ça me rassure un peu d'en savoir un peu plus.
encore juste une question il y a combien d'heure de décalage ? il est 14hr ici
ok me reste plus qu'a attendre décembre avec impatience, encore merci de m'avoir accordé un peu de ton temps.
bon courage pour ton départ et a un de ses jours peut etre...

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.

You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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.?

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

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!

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[;)!!!]
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🤪!

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

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!^^
