Bonjour,
J'aimerais partir un an à Londres aprés mon bac, c'est-à-dire dans un an, pour perfectionner mon anglais, découvrir une autre culture.. Mais j'avoue que je ne m'en sors pas..😕
Internet fourmille d'agences proposant Job+hébergement ( et qui excercent des prix exhorbitants =O ) et de gens qui les conseille ou au contraire les déconseille, qu'en pensez-vous ? Connaissez-vous un agence qui soit vraiment fiable ? Partir comme sa à l'aventure, sans rien de sûre me fait un peu peur et puis je n'ai pas non plus un budget gigantesque..
Je ne veut pas partir comme jeune fille au pair parce-que je ne suis vraiment pas à l'aise avec les enfants..
Pouvez-vous m'aider..? S'il vous plait..😇
Bonjour,
Je n'ai jamais vécu à Londres, par contre j'y vais assez régulièrement et c'est vrai que les agences n'ont pas très bonne réputation, après je n'ai jamais vérifié par moi même ... Tu as un budget de quel ordre ? Tu compte travailler sur place je suppose ? Le plus populaire semblent les auberges de jeunesses pour commencer.
C'est une bonne idée en tout cas de partir comme ça, dit toi qu'au pire tu peux toujours rentrer facilement en France, en 2h d'Eurostar tu est chez toi, c'est l'avantage de Londres, c'est dépaysant mais pas trop loin ! 😉

J'aurais un budget de l'ordre de 1000€ environ, oui je compte trouver un Job là-bas et si je peux prendre des cours pour avoir un diplôme reconnue( Cambridge?) se serait le top 🙂
Mais on dit que partir à Londres pour perfectionner son anglais n'est pas une merveilleuse idée parce-que beaucoup de gens parle Français là-bas c'est vrai? 😕
Oui c'est vrai que c'est à 2heures mais l'eurostar c'est pas donné et puis je perdrais un an🙁
Oui c'est vrai que c'est à 2heures mais l'eurostar c'est pas donné et puis je perdrais un an🙁
ouhla si tu te décourages déjà tu ne feras jamais rien !! Moi aussi je souhaite partir 1 an à Londres, comme toi apres mon bac l'année prochaine.
Après divers hésitations, je me suis enfin décidé. C'est vrai que comme toi je ne sais pas a quel site ou quel organisme faire confiance, mais je veux le meilleur pour me perfectionner et pouvoir être bilingue au bout d'un an.
Tiens moi au courant si tu veux partir ou pas et quels sont tes projets la bas ?
See you ... 😄
See you ... 😄
Non je ne me décourage pas du tout, simplement c'est vrai que perdre un an, sa me dit pa trop trop 😮
Eh bien j'aimerais trouver un job et en parrallèle me payer des cours pour passer le TOEIC.. Enfin sa c'est dans le meiller des cas 😄
Mais oui c'est décidé je pars, et en plus je ne pars pas toute seule donc déja c'est un plus pour le morale je pense!
Et toi quels sont tes projets là-bas? J'ai entendu parler de Global-cap quelqu'un connait ?
Bonjour Ellepense,
Pour la enieme fois sur ce forum. Aucune agence n'est a la hauteur.. Elles prennent votre argent et vous logent loin du centre, vous envoient a des entretiens mais ne vous assurent pas le travail. Va jeter un coup d'oeil sur les sites suivants: www.caplondon.com, www.destinationlondres.com et tu verras ce que les francais expatries a Londres pensent vraiment des agences ! Secondo, loue toi une chambre en auberge de jeunesse, traduis ton CV en Anglais et demarche ou va au job centre. Tu n'es pas obligee d'etre jeune fille au pair bien sur, moi meme, j'ai travaille dans un supermarche quand je suis arrivee, il y a 25 ans. Mais aie bien conscience que c'est la crise aussi ici. Terzio, ton anglais ne sera pas courant au bout d'un an, tu reves ! Au mieux, tu peux esperer te debrouiller, point final. Bon courage Nat

Bonjour a tous,
Un petit email rapide pour vous faire partager mon experience. Je travaille aujourdhui a londres dans le marketing depuis 3 mois. Tout se passe super bien. Je ne suis pas passe par une agence, TROP cheres et pas vraiment utiles.
Pour trouver mon logement ca ete super facile, il y a pleins de site Internet gratuits pour cela : www.gumtree.com, www.loot.com....etc Vraiment, pas besoin d'une agence a 400 euros! Trouver un logement a Londres (chambre, colocation, hotels de jeunesse...) c'est super simple!
Pour le travail aussi c'est beaucoup plus simple qu'en France, lea anglais sont supers ouverts. Le seul truc c'est quil faut etre bien prepare a l'entretien pour s'assurer la reussite. Sinon c'est lechec dans 99% des cas et le retour en france plus tot que prevu (vu le cout de la vie a Londres). Pour trouver un job dans le marketing, je me suis fait aider par un coach specialise. Il a redige de maniere professionnelle et surtout sans faute mon CV et ma lettre de motivation en anglais. on a fait des simulations d'entretiens par telephone, bref j'ai prit confiance en moi et ca a marche. Mon coach s'appelle Julie et elle travaille pour anglocoach (www.anglocoach.com). J'ai paye un peu plus de 100 euros si mes souvenirs sont bons, mais c'etait vrament un super investissement. Elle ma suivi pendant presque un mois! Surtout n'hesitez pas a me contacter si vous pensez que mon aide peux vous etre utile ou si vous avez des questions... Entre francais on peut bien s'aider non ??? En tous cas je vous souhaite a tous une excellente reussite professionnelle. Marc (mlibert@ymail.com)

Tout a fait daccord avec toi marcli😎.....
Les agences ca ne sert a rien!!!! FAUT QUE CA RENTRE DANS LA TETE des gens ca!
Je te rejoins aussi lorsque tu evoques anglocoach. C'est en effet un concept different (coaching + traduction de cv, lettre de motiv, accompagnement et suivi....)pour taider a trouver un emploi dans un pays anglophone. C'est un cabinet en ressources humaines americain je crois (mais ils travaillent beaucoup avec Londres). Ah ces americains toujours un temps davance! Je suis surpris que si peu de gens en parlent sur le forum. Ca coute dans les 50-100 euros a tout casser et c'est vraiment efficace!
Bref, sinon, mon beau frere a un restaurant a londres. Il recherche des serveurs ayant un niveau correct en anglais ou debutant (pour etre commis). Si cela vous interesse faites moi parvenir votre cv je lui transmettrais (laurentdu06@hotmail.com)

Déja merci beaucoup pour toutes ces réponses 🙂
Juste une ou deux questions, est-ce vrai que partir à Londres pour perfectionner son anglais n'est pas un choix judicieux puisqu'ils y a énormément d'étrangers?
Pour les auberges de jeunesse il y at-il besoin de réserver à l'avance ou faut-il y aller comme sa lors de l'arrivée?
Connaissez-vous d'autres villes qui soit sumpa aussi ?
Merci laurentdu06 pour le proposition de transmettre le Cv mais je pense que le transmettre un an à l'avance sa fais tôt non ? ^^ 😛

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 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.
Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance!

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!
Cheers,

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!!

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.

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?

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[;)!!!]

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
