Original post
Bonjour,
Je m'appelle Julien, j'ai 27 ans et habite à Paris;
Je veux profiter de mes vacances d'été pour améliorer mon anglais.
J'ai entendu dire qu'on pouvait venir aider des agriculteurs aux Royaume Unis (Ecosse, Irelande).
Pourriez-vous me donner des informations sur ces jobs : Est-ce en Ecosse ou en Ireland ... ? ou puis-je trouver les opportunité de job ?
merci, Julien
Salut,
Premier point: si c'est au Royaume-Uni, ça ne peut donc pas être l'Irlande, qui n'en fait pas partie. Il ne te reste donc que l'Ecosse dans tes choix.
Deuxième point: pour ce qui est d'améliorer ton anglais, choisi plutôt l'Angleterre proprement dite, et pas l'Ecosse, l'Irlande ou le Pays de Galle. L'Anglais là-bas n'est pas tout-à-fait celui que tu pourras utiliser partout ailleurs sur la planète. Un exemple? J'ai travaillé récemment avec un anglais qui meparlait d'une de ses missions qu'il avait eu en Ecosse. Il me disait qu'il a mis plusieurs semaines (et un certain nombre de bières...🤪) pour commencer à comprendre un peu ce que les gens lui disaient. Et lui, l'anglais est sa langue maternelle! J'espère que ça te donne une idée...

moi je suis pas tout a fait d'accord avec toi On the Road !
c vrai ke c difficile au début de comprendre ce ke disent les écossais paske ils ont un accent terrible, mais c kan meme un bon moyen pr progresser en anglais, car si tu arrives a comprendre et a discuter avec un écossais, t'arriveras facilement a comprendre n'importe kel anglophone 😉
voilà un avis de +, dc jte conseillerai plutôt l'écosse pr améliorer ton anglais !

Hello,
Moi je dis VIVE l'Irlande! et juste pr info l'Irlande du Nord fait partie du Royaume-Uni.
J'ai aucune idée de ce qui peut se faire avec les agriculteurs, mais si tu fais barman, tu vas rencontrer plein plein de gens... bon ils seront pas très frais la nuit mais ils sont super sympas !
En ce qui concerne les accents, Cork est terrible, irlande du Nord pareil, chui à Galway, ça se passe pas trop mal, je pense qu'à Dublin ça peut le faire aussi.
Mais bon, chui passée en Ecosse, c'est super beau aussi, bon ya du vent et tout, et les accents...accroches-toi !
Bon courage pr ta decision !

pour reprendre ce fil de discussion,
"si tu fais barman" ça à l'air facile quand tu dis ça comme ça, tu pourrais en dire plus ? J'avais prévu de partir à Londres mais c'est juste parce que je connais rien de rien sur place. Quels sont les avantages de partir en Irlande ou en Ecosse ? Hormis l'accent. Niveau logement ça se passe comment ? Et niveau budget faut prévoir quoi pour une personne seule ? Pour en revenir à la question de trouver un petit boulot, dans une période d'été genre du 15 juillet au 25 août on peut trouver quoi ? Comment on s'y prend pour chercher ?
Hello,
Pour bosser dans un pub ou restau, tu fais du porte à porte avec ton CV et ton plus joli sourire. Mais par contre à cette période ça va peut-être dur de trouver parce que tout le monde aura déjà débarqué: les étudiants irlandais et tous les étrangers qui sont en vacances scolaires, va y avoir de la concurrence en gros, va falloir un bon kilo de CV et la patate pour qu'ils se disent 'c'est elle qui nous faut'. Tu peux tjs bosser ds un super marché, c'est peut-être moins joyeux. Tu peux regarder sur http://www.fas.ie mais c'est pas très parlant, ya les pubs/restau qui mettent staff wanted, alors là faut courrir dessus ! Et aussi, tu as de l'expérience, même si t'en as pas ! Tu peux un peu baratiner ton CV, si tu cherches ds la restauration, ils iront pas vérifier en appelant en France !
Pour les logements, en Irlande, c'est la colloc qui est le moins cher, mais ca reste cher qd meme. C'est plus ou moins 240-340 Euros/mois, ca dépend où c'est situé et l'état de la barraque. Ce site peut te donner une idée http://www.daft.ie. Et c'est pareil, c'est les collocs qui t'acceptent ou non (ne pas oublier ton joli sourire et ton amicalité), tu paies un deposit (un loyer en avance) et le loyer en cours.
Je pense que Londres à un niveau de vie plus cher. Mais je peux pas trop t'aider je travaille pas là-bas.
Et l'Irlande c'est top, les paysages sont magnifiques, les gens sympas et patients, ya des moutons partout 😉 et l'ambiance des pubs.... alors vraiment c'est à ne pas rater ! les musiciens, la déco des pubs, leur accent (du coup je le trouve prétencieux l'accent anglais, mais ça c'est mon avis perso)

Hello,
On va pas trop pouvoir décider à ta place ! Londres je vois ça comme une grande ville avec plein de gens qui courent dans tous les sens, stressés par le boulot, des magasins partout, tu trouves tout ce que tu veux quand tu veux.. L'Irlande c'est plus tranquille, plus vert, moins stressé, les gens prennent le temps de vivre. Donc t'as la vie tranquille mais t'as aussi de quoi sortir et faire la teuf ! Niveau accent je préfère l'Irlandais, et si t'as du mal au début, bin ils te répèteront jusqu'à ce que tu comprennes, pareil, faut pas se stresser ! Et puis si tu fais des boulots comme barman ou dans des supermarchés, tu vas rencontrer plein d'étrangers avec leur accent aussi ! Et on sait tous que tout le monde adore l'accent frenchy (me demande pas pourquoi !). Pour le coût de la vie, t'attends pas à des tarifs pas cher, c'est moins cher qu'en Angleterre mais c'est parfois aussi/plus cher qu'en France.
Pour résumé, faut pas te bloquer par l'accent, c'est 2 pays anglophones, pars dans le pays qui te correspond le plus. Et niveau boulot, tu trouveras tjs, plus ou moins vite, faut juste être patient, et ne pas s'attendre à ce que ça te tombe dessus (ça peut arriver, mais je crois pas que ça soit courant!).
Bon courage !

Coucou Julien!
Pas beaucoup de réponses à ce que je vois pour te guider...🙁
Tu as ouie dire qu'il était possible daller aider des agriculteurs, je ne sais pas si cela est valble partout mais je sais en tout cas que tu peux aller dans une "fisherie" pour donner un coup de main aux personnes locales pendant l'été...Surtout en écosse (jétudie la bas). Elles te fourniront (en général, après je ne sais pas si c valable partout) un logement, certes restreint (genre mobilehome) sur place; en échange de tes coups de main...Services qui iront de la peinture des barrières à la pèche de poissons..divers donc, cela peut êter amusant...Renseigne toi sur internet poru trouver des adresses....
En ce qui concerne la rémunération, je n'en ai aucune idée...Personnellement je n'ai pas testé ce job, juste des amis...Après pour l'anglais je ne sais pas si c une bonne idée, car ces fermes sont généralement isolées...Et il est vrai que l'accent est dur...donc commener des discussions en parlant poissons et barrieres en anglais n'est peu être pas le top...
MAis sinon je n'ai aucune idée de ton domaine mais je pense que tu pourrais trouver un job dans une des villes principales...glasgow edinburgh....genre call center, ou ils recrutent des gens parlant francais..ou dans des agences de tourisme..il est vrai qu'il est parfois dur de trouver dépendant du niveau d'anglais..mais la rémunération sera plus interessante, sans taxe...bref tous les avantages...
bon courage et bonne recherche...😉

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

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.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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! ☺️

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.
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! 😄
