Salut Dilo,
Moi j'ai habité 2 ans à Madrid, je travaillais dans une agence immobilière. Le premier conseil que je peux te donner c'est de te mettre en relation avec la chambre de commerce franco espagnol, tu leur envoie un Cv et ils te font circuler pas mal d'offre. empleo@lachambre.es.
Ensuite, niveau logement, tu ne devrais pas avoir de probleme, achète le segunda mano le mercredi et il y a des centaines d annonces d'appart.
Si tu as besoin d'autres infos....n'hésites aps!

Bonjour, bonjour,
Je viens d'arriver sur ce forum, que je trouve vraiment génial.
Je vous explique grossomodo: actuellement en poste dans le sud de la France, j'ai appris l'espagnol par mes propres moyens (en clair, ça donne "avec un bouquin et un CD", en lisant des articles en espagnol, en regardant des films...). Bref, tout ça pour dire que je comprends à peu près si on ne me parle pas trop vite, et j'arrive à me faire comprendre aussi, au pire en dégainant un petit dico pour les mots manquants.
Je voudrais avoir une expérience hors de France (mais rester dans l'UE) sur mon CV. L'année dernière, je suis allée quelques jours à Madrid et je m'y suis vraiment plue. Donc je me dis "pourquoi pas Madrid?". Plusieurs personnes m'ont dit que la vie là-bas est géniale, les gens super... D'autres me conseillent plutôt Barcelone... J'ai trouvé le message ci-dessous sur un forum ce matin à propos de Madrid quand j'ai eu le malheur de parler de ça:
"Euhhhhhhhhh .... Tu y as jamais vécu ...pour tenir ce genre de propos NaN ? Parceque si vous voulez je vous explique ... L'espagne c'est pas non plus pareil partout, et moi perso si y a une ville en espagne Ou je veux surtout pas vivre c'est bien Madrid (et mes amis du chango pareil, c'est un peu ce qui explique pourquoi Manu s'est installer a Barcelona et est parti de Madrid !!!) " 🏴☠️
Je voulais avoir vos avis sur la question pour celles et ceux qui connaissent les 2 villes svp.
(Sachant qu'a priori, ce ne serait pas pour tout de suite car l'entreprise dans laquelle je travaille possède une filiale à Madrid, mais l'ambiance n'y étant pas top pour le moment, mon chef ne veut pas prendre le risque de m'y envoyer).
Hasta luego y muchas gracias por vuestras respuestas.
Stéphanie.

Salut, je suis expat en Espagne et je vis a MAdrid. J ai egalement fais mes etudes a Barcelone....et je te conseille Madrid...Barcelone c est bien pour faire du tourisme, c est deja nettement moins bien pour s installer a long terme.. question de vie au quotidien. Madrid c est moins beau mais c est plus accueillant, il n y a pas la plage mais il n y a pas non plus les 500 000 touristes qui font qu un matin tu te reveilles et tu ne parles plus que l anglais et d ailleurs, tu ne sais meme plus ou sont les catalans....
Par contre tu as peut etre une des villes du monde ou on fait le plus la fete (ce qui ne nous empeche pas de travailler comme des fous la semaine)...et puis les castillans ils sont chouettes comme tout...et ce qui est de l immigration, et bien ce sont des gens installés et pas des charters d allemands en week end...je n ai d ailleurs rien contre les allemands, ils sont charmants, cependant a tant en avoir a barcelone on finit par ne plus se sentir chez soi ah ah
Salut Ginarosesss,
Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse, ça confirme ce que je pensais en fait. Une personne, sur un autre forum, m'avait dit que Barcelone était mieux que Madrid en terme de relations avec les gens, que les Catalans sont Catalans avant d'être espagnols et plus ouverts... Après, je ne sais pas, je ne connais pas du tout Barcelone, mais je suis allée à madrid quelques jours (j'y retourne du 12 au 16 février d'ailleurs 🙂) et c'est vraiment une ville que j'aime pour l'ambiance et tout ce qu'elle dégage. En plus, je la trouve très belle et très riche culturellement parlant... Bref, un coin de paradis sur Terre quoi (à mon goût en tout cas, après ça n'engage que moi 😉).
Encore merci à toi pour ces infos en tout cas. A+

Ok, si t as besoin de petites infos pour ton sejour a Madrid (adresse de bars, de vraiments bons restos, de lieux insolites...)...passe commande ah ha ...je t enverrai ca...
OK merci, c'est super sympa.
Pour l'hôtel, normalement on devrait être à l'Eurosuite près de Gran Vía.
Pour les restos, on va essayer de taper dans le pas trop cher histoire de ne pas investir tout le budget dans la bouffe parce que bon... 😉

Pour les restos, on va essayer de taper dans le pas trop cher histoire de ne pas investir tout le budget dans la bouffe parce que bon... 😉
Si tu veux manger pas cher et bon..et tres original, suis mon conseil...va Plaza España (c est a la fin de Gran via) et tu as une entrée dans le parking souterrain, rentre et descends dedans...non ce n est pas une blague!!!! tu trouveras un celebre petit resto chinois (ou il y a des chinois, donc rien a voir avec le typique resto chinois europeen)..c est 3/4 euros le plat, tres bon...par contre attention le soir il y a une file d attente folle pour y rentrer...c est tout petit...pas connu des touristes, mais ici on est tous fans...quand on a plus de sous a depenser...
Super, merci beaucou du tuyau 🙂
Pas de Problemes,
Et si tu veux sortir sympa, dans ton quartier, il y a un Paf (bar dansant qui ferme plus tot qu une boite vers 3h du mat) qui est bien sympa, Demande "El perro de la parte atras del coche", je sais c est un peu barbare comme nom " le chien de derriere la voiture", mais c est connu et l ambiance y est vraiment chouette. et si tu veux te faire une soirée travestis gay a la Almodovar qui chantent, dansent et accessoirement font des streep tease ...tres tres drole...et comme dans ses films (peu recommandables pour les hommes heteros... je refuse que le mien m y accompagne, sinon tu dois faire le chien de garde) tu demandes le LL bar c est à Chueca dans le quartier gay ..on te l indiquera sans probleme.
Et si tu veux faire du shopping. tu as la rue Fuencarral, le quartier de Velasquez / Goya, et si tu as l energie va au Rastro (metro Latina ou Embajadores)vers 13 hoo pour l apero, c est un incontournable.
Bon voyage et Que disfrutes mucho
Nickel!
La soirée travesti-gay, je suis pas fan, mais le reste, je dis pas non! 🙂 Merci, merci, merci 😉

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! 🥺🏻
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!^^
