Original post
Bonjour, après mure réflexion j'ai décidé de partir 1ans à Los Angeles avec une amie.
Nous sommes deux filles de 21ans et nous avons pour budget de départ 4500euros hors billets d'avions. On souhaiterait partir fin août début septembre (2010) ...
J'ai énorméments de questions en tête, comme je ne veux pas partir sans avoir le plus de renseignements possibles pour ne pas être dans un quartier peu fréquentable ou bien ne pas savoir ou dormir!
Pour commencer j'ai beaucoup regardé les messages du site et en ce qui concerne les quartiers et comme nous voulons absolument aller à LA, ceux qui me semble être les plus convenables sont Venice, Melrose, Farmers Market, Sen Fernando valley ou encore Wilshire en gros vers l'Ouest !
Mais est-ce que dans ses quartiers les appartements son cher, car une fois la bas, nous voulons louer un appartement sans collocation avec des étrangers... Où dois-je me renseigner pour tous ce qui concerne les locations ? Agence de voyage, association...?
Ensuite pour touver du travail, pour ma part je parle très peu l'anglais, mais connaissance son l'anglais scolaire...
Sinon pouvez vous me dire les endroits à visiter et là où il y a plus de chance de faire la fête et de rencontrer des jeunes ?
Quels sont les papiers à remplir et a avoir pour partir et le temps qu'il faut pour les recevoirs ??
Et pour finir, j'ai le permis mais je ne sais pas comment sa se passe ...
Je vous remercie des reponses que vous pourriez m'apporter.
A bientôt 😄
Bonjour,
Tout d'abord, vous ne pouvez pas rester aux USA pendant 1 an sans visa !! C'est 3 mois maximum sans visa, ou 6 mois avec un visa touriste. Et il est interdit de travailler sans visa de travail !!
Tu devrais aller faire un tour sur le site de l'ambassade, http://french.france.usembassy.gov/, pour voir un peu les différents types de visas possibles et les conditions d'obtention. Pour un séjour d'1 an, il y a des stages ou au pair par exemple, mais pour partir à 2, c'est pas évident !!
Sinon, pour louer un appart, le site craigslist est pas mal, mais c'est assez cher dans les bons quartiers !!

les stages a faire c'est selon tes etudesw, diplomes ou experiences😉
partir a 2 c'est plus complique car il faut obtenir 2 visas, et dans la meme 'ville'...
vous multipliez donc les contraintes!
sans visa de stage, 'au pair', de travail, d'etudes, vous ne pouvez pas rester 1 an aux US! en tant que touriste c'est 3 mois ou 6 mois avec un visa de touriste (B2) mais vous ne pouvez PAS travailler (legalement).

en ce qui concerne le travail, les stages sa consiste en quoi ?
un stage comme ecrit dans la definition dans ton dico, tu es en apprentissage 😎
Mais tes 4500 euros ne seront pas suffisants pour tenir 1an

Oui je sais très bien que 4500euros pour 1ans ne suffiront pas, mais c'est pour commencer la bas le temps de trouver un travail ...😄
comme il a deja été dit, tu n'auras pas le droit de travailler 😄
comme il a deja été dit, tu n'auras pas le droit de travailler 😄
A mon avis, si vous voulez vraiment partir à 2 et vous éclater, passer du bon temps, il n'y a aucun visa qui pourra vous convenir, même pas le visa touriste B2, car avec 4500 euros pour 2, ce n'est pas suffisant pour vivre 6 mois là-bas. Les visas de travail sont pour les personnes très qualifées (bac+4 ou +5 au moins), les stages rémunérés sont difficiles à trouver, et bien souvent il faut avoir de l'argent de côté en plus pour subvenir à ses besoins et payer les frais.
Ou alors vous partez "au pair", en demandant à être dans la même ville (les grandes villes sont très grandes !! donc vous pourrez être à 1 h de trajet l'une de l'autre, ou même plus !). Le système "au pair" est le plus avantageux, car il permet l'immersion dans une famille américaine, avec une rémunération à la semaine, très peu de frais, mais il faut travailler, jusqu'à 45h par semaine.
Mon conseil : partez sans visa, donc pour 90 jours maximum, et profitez à fond de vos vacances !! Vous en reviendrez avec des souvenirs plein la tête, et une amélioration de votre niveau d'anglais !! Et si vous décidez que vous voulez y retourner pour un plus long séjour, alors vous devrez planifier un projet plus personnel, chacune de son côté.

Pas de secret, pour s'installer aux USA (> 3mois), il faut effectivement avoir un boulot aux USA avant de partir...
Pour qu'un employeur US vous recrute, il faut qu'il apporte la preuve qu'il ne pouvait pas trouver d'américain pour faire le même travail. Il faut donc, à priori, que vos compétences soient très précises.
Vous pouvez venir au pair, en tant qu'expatrié via une entreprise française, en VIE ou pour des études, dans le cadre d'un programme d'échanges.
Donnez-nous un peu plus d'infos sur ce que vous faites dans la vie, ça nous aidera à vous répondre.
Pour info, les loyer dans le quartier de Westwood sont entre 1400$ et 1800$ par mois pour un 65 m² avec une chambre voire deux.

Bonjour, je désirerais aussi avoir des renseignements pour les US. J'aimerais partir pour 6 mois, savoir qu'elle visa je dois prendre sachant que je veux travailler...Mon oncle habite las bas depuis 20 ans, est c'est chez lui que je vais habiter alors est ce que ca peut me faire des avantages pour le visa ou le travail si un membre de la famille est americain ? Merci de vos reponses !!!🙂
Si tu avais lu les discussions àce sujet (y'en a des dizaines!!) tu saurais que:
1- Tu ne peux travailler sans permis de travail obtenu préalablement avec une offre de l'employeur; ce dernier doit obtenir l'autorisation d'embaucher un étranger (très difficile); 2- Seuls les personnes très qualifiées avec des compétences recherchées peuvent trouver un emploi ; 3- Les programmes d'échanges et de stage (visa J-1) te permettent quand même de faire un stage de quelques mois dans une entreprise aux États-UNis. Cependant, tu dois trouver le stage toi-même et souvent ce n'est pas rémunéré ou très peu. 4- Le fait d'avoir un oncle là-bas te t'aideras en rien au niveau du permis; cependant il pourrait peut-être te guider pour la recherche d'emploi/stage. 5-Pour séjourner comme touriste pendant plus de 90 jours quand on est Français, il faut obtenir un visa touristique à l'ambassade US à Paris; il y a des conditions strictes pour l'obtenir, tu trouveras les infos dans les archives du forum, sujet discuté maintes fois. 6- Si tu aimes les enfants et que tu as de l'expérience comme gardienne d'enfant, tu peux travailler au pair. Cependant, il faut passer via un organisme et il n'est pas garanti que la famille pour laquelle tu bosseras seras à LA! Souvent, les familles sont dans des milieux rural ou semi-urbain.

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 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!
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 €.

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!^^
