Original post
Francaise vivant en rep. dominicaine depuis 3 ans a decide de change de cap pour Guada avec son mari dominicain et 2 enfants de 1 an et 10 ans. Actuellement je me renseigne pour toute la paperasse necessaire pour ma famille. Sur un autre poste, on m a dit que point a pitre etait la plus grande ville de l ile et ou se trouve la plupart des agences d interim. Qui peut me dire les quartiers a eviter pour un logement a point a pitre?
Salut
evite Pointe a Pitre
P-A-P est une ville pour bosser mais pas pour y vivre. si tu as d autres questions precises, pani pwoblem
C est marrant moi je reve de vivre en REP DOM
La gwada est superbe mais la vie y est vraiment trop cher et on a vite fait le tour....🤪
merci bien, mais moi j ai fini de me reveiller de mon reve et ici c est plutot dur. La vie n est pas cher si on vit comme les locaux, mais les choses basic de la vie europeenne comme internet, lumiere, eau etc... c est un luxe pas donne a tout le monde. Question boulot c est dur de trouver et mal paye. Voiture oblige et faire papier residence minimun des l arrivee. On a aussi vite fait le tour, delinquence a toute heure, on vous vol pour 2 euros y si vous n avez rien on vous poignarde ou si vous n avez pas un telephone moderne aussi sans oublier la corruption qui fait que meme un flic il faut sans mefier.... Ca fait trois ans ici et je veux voir mes enfants grandir tranquilement sans crainte. Sinon locaux chaleureux bien que interesse, pour eux vous etes un dollar ambulant et meme si vous n avez pas grand chose ce sera tjrs plus qu eux.... si c etait a refaire, je viendrai avec contrat de travail.
Pour guada, selon les info recues c est point a pitre pour travailler, activitee extra scolaire, ecole etc.... Je cherche l integration au plus vite. Prevue d acheter voiture et louer appart des le depart ensuite chercher boulot sur internet et agence d interim... Si quelqu un connait bien la ville , merci de me faire savoir les quartiers a eviter

RE elny t inquiete pas je vait te repondre meme si ca va pas trop te changer.Ton internet en gwada te coutera le double qu en metropole sa ne te changera pas (se n est qu un debut)concernant la delinquence idem qu en REP_DOM la corruption un peut moins jte l assure (attention y a un pic l ete pour prendre l argent des Z ORRIELLE ) il en a un qui ma deja dit MAQUERRELLE mais bon.La bas aussi interesse (a pap) mais tu serra un euros ambulant (sa ca change parcontre). Le quartier a eviter c est la ville entiere pap c est sale et moche , presque aucun feu ne marche et ce toute l année ( verifie bien le klaxon qu en tu achete ou loue une voiture)emboutillage assuré, prostitution a tout les coins de rue (encore des reseaux dominicains pour changer)et surtout les fameux zombies de pap defoncer au crack (la gwada est un des premier consomateur). La gwada aussi c est minuscule t auras vite fait le tour, sinon le reste c est a peut pres carte postal avec aux choix plage de sable blanc, noire ou rouge.Moi je suis a st anne (st tropez de gwada dit on) depuis bientot 3 ans (ma femme y est née)est cest les vacances toute l année (la plage apres le boulot sa vos tout l or du monde) voila j espere avoir repondu a tes attentes en tout cas j ai fait de mon mieux et comme on dit la bas A PITA
jajajaj, je vois que une ile c est une ile, on a tjrs vite fait le tour, bien que ici il y a des beaux endroit a voir, paradisiaque cote plage mais aussi cote montagne.
Selon un autre forum, apparement le poulmon economique ce trouve a Jarry pour un boulot et cela vaudrait la peine de chercher logement sur Baie Mahault, il parait qu il y a tout pour ecole, activite, sport, shopping etc....... , ce que je ne veux pas c est etre dans une campagne ou je dois utiliser la voiture pour chercher du pain . Je suis ville, et j aime etre entouree por eso je n ai pas choisi basse terre
Je sais que la delinquence est a chaque coin de rue comme en metropole ou nyc.... ca c est inevitable.
Mais au moins les flics font peut etre mieux leur boulot... anedocte: 3 jrs avant d accoucher, ma femme de menage me vole 20000 pesos deja dans mes bagage pour payer l hospital soit 400 euros, elle se fait arreter, le lendemain avec mon mari on va voir ce qu ils ont appris de plus ou si elle a dit ou etait l argent. Et bien il n ont rien trouver de mieux que de mettre en tole mon mari aussi car il vit dans la maison, et si ma mere qui etait en vacances chez moi mais dans un resort avant le vol, ils l auraient arrete aussi. jajajaja du jamais vu, peut de temps apres on a entendu dire qu elle avait paye 5000 pesos pour etre relache et la pauvre qui elle avait un avocat a dit que c etait un auto robo (vol par moi meme)
Je crois que pap peut etre raye de mes intentions, c est pour cela que je me mets tjrs sur les forums avant pour ecouter tous les points de vue.
merci bien
Salut Elny !
Bonne idée d'avoir rayé PAP. J'y ai tenu un commerce pendant 4 ans avec mon mari en plein centre ville, et sincèrement, ça craint ! Le poumon économique de l'île est effectivement Baie-Mahault avec sa zone industrielle de Jarry (la plus grande de France) ; c'est d'ailleurs là que j'ai trouvé du boulot. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut à Baie-Mahaut (centre commercial, centres médicaux, écoles etc), mais aller chercher son pain à pied....😇....à moins d'habiter vraiment en centre-ville... On est très bien en Guadeloupe ; mon mari et moi ne sommes jamais retourné en Métropole en bientôt 5 ans ; et si nous envisageons de quitter l'île, ce n'est certainement pas pour la France ou l'Espagne (mon mari est espagnol), mais pour la République Dominicaine. C'est un projet qui nous tient à coeur depuis de nombreuses années, et nous savons très bien que ce n'est pas l'Eldorado ; nous y allons régulièrement depuis 10 ans et préparons notre pré-retraite 😉. Nous pensons que c'est un pays où il fait bon vivre sans y travailler ; donc on attend d'avoir suffisamment de revenus pour franchir le pas..... Une dernière chose que je voudrais te dire, parce-que ça nous a surpris quand on est arrivés ici : la vie y est totalement différente de la République Dominicaine. La nuit tombée (vers 18h), tous les commerces ferment et les gens restent chez eux. Il n'y a pas de bars ou colmado avec la musique à fond et plein de gens dans les rues....D'après ton post, je crois que tu aimes l'animation, et ben y a pas grand chose en Gwada ; donc vaut mieux le savoir avant de venir 😉. Voilà ; n'hésite pas si tu as des questions, j'y répondrai avec plaisir 😎. Je peux si tu veux en MP te recommander des sites pour ta recherche d'emploi ou de logement (pas de pub sur le forum ! 😛). Bonne journée ! Sylvie.

Bonjour,
Je m'appelle Sébastien, j'ai 35 ans et je suis marié.
Je voudrais venir habité en Gwada avec ma femme et mes deux filles de 4 et 9 ans.
Je viendrais passer un mois en juillet ou aout pour prendre mes repères. Si quelqu'un peut me proposé un logement pour le moi de juillet ou aout 2012, sa serai gentil!!!
Je cherche un terrain sur la Guadeloupe ou Marie Galante ou je ferais bâtir une maison en bois; quelqu'un pourrais ce renseigné pour moi?
Un grand merci d'avance et merci pour tout les commentaires qui m'informe bien.

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 leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
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 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.

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]

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! :)
