Nous partons vivre dans "Les Cayes" et Port-au-prince" en Haiti au mois de septembre 2006. J'aimerais savoir si je pourrai trouver une école maternelle (pour enfants de 4 et 5 ans) reconnue par les ministères d'éducation International?
Première et fondamentale question: Les Cayes ou Port-au-Prince??? Car il n'y que environ 150 kms entre les 2 mais quasi 6h de route .....
Aux Cayes, je ne sais pas (mais je peux me renseigner), mais à PaP, il y a 2 écoles internationales (le Lycée français, suivant exactement les programmes français, de la maternelle au bac et l'Union School, l'école américaine)
Enfin l'enseignement est à 98 % privé en Haiti, mais de qualité très très inégale (j'ai bossé dans l'une d'entre elles à PaP...)
Tant mieux pour Port-au-Prince car en ce moment, je vis en Arménie et Arianne, ma petite fille, va à l'école française...
Concernant Les Cayes, nous y serons pour environ 6 à 8 mois. J'espère qu'elle pourra aller à l'école car si non elle va trouver le temps long! Après, nous partons pour PaP.
Dis-moi, devrais-je m'inquiéter sur notre sécurité? Dans le sens pourrais-je faire mes courses seule (circuler seule...)
Y a-t-il encore beaucoup de pression dans l'air :-( ?
Très hâte de découvrir ton pays :-)
ok ... premièrement ce n'est pas mon pays puisque je suis français..... même si je l'aime beaucoup...
Pour Les Cayes je me renseigne, car je pense que pour 6 à 8 mois tu pouras trouver une école en français de bon niveau là-bas.... puis après sur PaP plus de choix!
Pour la sécurité c'est mes meilleurs mois ici (il faut dire que je suis là depuis septembre 2003......). Cela risque de chauffer un peu, car Préval est attendu par les partisans de l'ancien président pour le faire revenir de son exil sud africain.... et il en a pas trop envie.
Tu peux circuler seule, faire tes courses pour ça pas de pbs, il y a juste des quartiers à éviter et des jours plus tendus.. mais je pense qu'aux Cayes tu éviteras ce genre de pbs
SAlut,
comme tu peux le constater, je suis un haitien qui vit actuellement en haiti.
Il y a plusiu=eur ecoles qui sont reconnues par le ministere de l'education nationale, mais l'important c'est de savoir ou est-ce que vous aimeriez trouver cette ecole. Par ce que de Port-Au-Prince à Cayes il y a une longue distance qui separe ces deux villes. Exemple: il y a Leogane, Petit Goave, Miragoane, Fond-des Nègres, Aquin, St-Louis du Sud, ensuite Les Cayes.
Laquelle de ses villes Préferiez-vous.
Je suis Cayens et j'habite à Aquin.
Bonne lecture et c'etait
Bonjour Well
Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps pour me répondre 🙂
Dans un premier temps, nous allons vivre dans Les Cayes pour une période de 6 à 8 mois. Ensuite, il est prévus de partir vivre à PaP. J'aurais voulu savoir si je pourrai trouver une école maternelle dans Les Cayes...
Si jamais vous êtes au courant, j'apprécierais beaucoup le savoir.
Bon... à force de chercher, j'ai trouvé un lycée à PaP qui s'appelle Le Lycée Alexandre Dumas qui est situé dans le quartier de Bourdon. Donc, c'est réglé pour PaP.
Toujours rien trouvé pour Les Cayes sauf l'école Jean Jacques Audubon qui recueuille les enfants défavorisés.
En tk, si tu trouves qqchose d'autre j'apprécierais beaucoup le savoir...
Je voulais pas le dire ... mais j'y bosse au lycée A Dumas... je voulais juste ne pas faire de prosélytisme! Je suis prof de techno au collège mais on va de la Petite section jusqu' au bac ... donc si tu veux plus de renseignements ...
Pour les Cayes, j'active mes rares réseaux haitiens..
Espèce de coquin.... j'aurais pu éviter de longues heures de recherche 😕 Ici, à Erevan, j'ai Internet par la ligne téléphonique et la vitesse est de 30k/sec......
Mais c'est super que tu bosses là! Tu dis que tu es prof de techno... est-ce que cela veut dire que tu enseignes le multimédia ? Je te demande cela car j'étais Webmaster au Québec.
En tk, je suis rassurée pour Arianne. Lorsque nous irons nous établir à PaP, elle fréquentera ce lycée.
J'ai écris à l'Alliance française des Cayes mais on ne m'a pas répondu. Je souhaite qu'elle existe toujours car je pourrais avoir plusieurs conseils de leur part.
J'espère que nous aurons la chance de te rencontrer et de prendre un pot à PaP pour en rire de toute ces démarches!!!
Ok ça marche pour le pot!!! Moi ce qui m'intéresse plutôt c'est d'avoir un point de chute aux Cayes! 😛
Webmaster hummmhum, oui je fais un peu de multimédia mais c'est pas ma spécialité ....
Une idée l'Alliiance français: je fréquente un peu l'ex directeur de cette alliance, un jeune français comme moi (plus jeune même) qui bosse maintenant sur PaP ... je vais essayé de le contacter, lui aura des tuyaux (surtout que sa femme haitienne et son fils de un an vivent là-bas donc il sera bientôt concerné!!)
Voilà A+
MANU
PS: c'est comment l'Arménie? Y'a un lycée français là-bas???
A Yerevan, il y a une École maternelle et une Université Française qui sont subventionnées par la France. C'est très bien!
L'Arménie est un très beau pays. Le peuple est très chaleureux. Nous vivons dans le centre-ville de Yerevan. Il y a des parcs qui s'étendent sur des kilomètres. Il y a une centaine de bistros et chacun à sa fontaine pour rendre l'atmosphère agréable. Il y a aussi le lac Sevan qui est extraordinaire à voir.
Des fenêtres du salon de notre appartement, nous voyons le gigantesque Mont Ararat qui est pourtant situé en Turquie. Tu sais celui où supposément l'Arche de Noé se serait échoué...
Il fait très chaud l'été. Juin, juillet et août : entre 38 et 45 degrés avec humidité... Dans cette période, la mer me manque beaucoup! Nous étions habitués de vivre près de la mer lorsque nous étions en Afrique alors même s'il faisait très chaud, il y avait toujours le vent qui rafraichissait.
Dis-moi, as-tu déjà rencontré des Québécois?
Est-ce la première fois que tu travailles en pays étranger?
Si tu me trouves trop curieuse, faut me le dire!😊
Je me suis permis de t’envoyer 2 photos : Le Mont Ararat vue de notre salon et une photo de moi qui revient du marché avec des sacs d’épinards… Cela te permettra de voir à qui tu écris!
Merci pour les photos celà semble en effet magnifique!! et comme je crois que tous les pays ont quelques choses de nouveau à nous apporter, la réponse est donc "non ce n'est pas mon premier séjour à l'étranger, car j'ai déjà passé 2 ans au Niger "! Mon contrat se finira en juin, et j'aimerai bien découvrir un ailleurs quoique rentrer en France ne me déplait pas non plus....
Oui il y a bcp de québécois ici, très sympas évidemment et leur coopération semble assez efficace...
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!^^
