Bonjour les (métro ?) Guyanais(es),
Voila, j m appelle Anne et ca y est, je paaaaars !!! L'Aventure !
Alors je m'envole seule et cherche donc bien sur a rencontrer du monde sur place...
Je vais bosser pour 6 mois (et plus si affinité) à Cayenne (j suis sage-femme) et j'arrive le 21 septembre à 14h45.
C'est pas que je sois trop inquiète, mais en feuilletant mon tout neuf livre de chevet le "ptit futé", qq questions pratiques et essentielles me viennent à l'esprit... logique.
Deja, je découvre que pas de navette a l'aeroport. C'est risqué le stop pour rejoindre Cayenne ?
Ensuite, je compte acheter une voiture dans le mois suivant mon arrivée, enfin plutot un truc pas cher du tout a qui je demande juste de rouler au quotidien ; ca se trouve facilement ?
Question logement, l'hopital me loge 1 mois, tout va bien, apres je voudrais trouver une coloc aux environs de Cayenne (d'ou la voiture) : meme question, facile a trouver ? quelqu'un connait ptet du monde qui cherche une coloc ?
Enfin voila, tout plan m'interresse.
Merci de m'eclairer un peu la-dessus ! Je suis deja OK a tout contact des mon arrivee autour d'un ptit verre !
A bientot
Anne
Il y a des taxis à l'aéroport mais c'est assez cher, le stop je ne sais pas mais après un long vol et les 5h de décalage tu auras peut être envie d'arriver vite.
Les gens sont souvent charmants dans l'avion tu vas surement trouver une âme charitable.
Je serai bien venue te chercher mais c'est le jour de mon anniversaire et je serai ......à table :-))
Pour tes questions de coloc et autres va sur le site suivant www.blada.com une mine de renseignements.
Viens avec tes vêtements d'été, tes cd, livres, ordinateur etc....tes affaires favorites en fait, le reste tu trouveras ici.
Je suis à ta dispo pour toute question qui te tracasserai.
brigitte
merci pour tes ptits conseils 😉
bon je crois qu il vaut mieux que je continue a me pas trop me poser de questions, elles viendront bien assez vite (ou pas ?) le moment voulu !
a bientot !
anne
Slt Bacoura,
merci pour l'adresse du site des nouveaux arrivants, je ne l'avais pas trouvé avec mes recherches !😮
Ca va surtout m'etre utile pour trouver une voiture!
Sinon tu sais a kel endroit sympa je peux renconter du monde a Cayenne de jour comme de nuit ? (pas forcément des tout neufs arrivés !)
Dis moi dans quelle ville tu dois t'installer.
Si c'est cayenne, tu peux rencontrer du monde à la place des palmistes les we, et le soir, il y des endroits sympas tel le domino, le rodéo, le campagnard et bien sûr les boîtes de nuit. Si tu as le contact facile, tu te feras des amis ici sans aucun problème

😉Bonjour Anne,
J'habite en guyane depuis 1 an. Je te conseil de prendre un taxi a l' aeroport car si tu ne trouve personne pour le stop tu va avoir très très chaud car en ce moment c'est la saison seche.
Pour la voiture, bin les moins cher que tu peux trouver c'est 1000 euro et c'est un coup de chance si c'est une bonne voiture.
Pour la coloc, va sur blada.com c'est le site incontournable de la Guyane et pose une annonce. Voila le conseil que je peux te donner.
Peut etre à bientot en Guyane.
Biz
Slt Joshua et Julien (le meme ?)
j arrive le 21 en Guyane, c raté pour ta propostion ! je vais opter pour le taxi collectif, meme si je pense que le collectif sera simplement occupé par mes bagages !
bye

je suis interne au labo de parasito à cayenne jusqu'à fin octobre. nous sommes plusieurs internes à partir à la fin du mois avec chacun une voiture à vendre. moi je vends ma fiat punto année 1995, qui roule très bien sur ces routes de guyane, pour 2400 euros, à débattre. je connais deux colloc' qui se libèrent à montjoly, une avec trois chambres, l'autre avec quatre chambres.
voilà
tu peux me joindre au 06 94 24 71 81
ou au labo de parasito, demande anne-sophie
A+
bon, pas de grand scoop dans ton annonce mais c cool qd meme de m avoir proposé !! 😉
si je rencontre qq un que ca interesse... pour la voiture du moins car j crois que pour la maison, les 3 autres SF sont en pleine reflexion positive...
passe de bons derniers moments en guyane !
alors comment s'est passé ton arrivée en Guyane? As tu trouvé facilement de quoi te loger? La vie est elle agréable à Cayenne? As tu rencontré facilement du monde?
Moi, je viens sur Cayenne en Avril prochain pour passer le Concours de Recrutement de Professeur Externe...
J'accroche bien avec la Guyane, surtt tout le coté nature-foret-expé, mais aussi Cayenne-le-jour, et le boulot beaucoup !
Par contre question logement c'est la crise totale en ce moment, je cherche toujours une coloc (depuis debut octobre.....) et j passe mon tps a squatter a gauche à droite chez les inf et les sages_femmes rencontrés le 1er mois grace au logement de l'hopital !
(ce message tient lieu de pte annonce pr la coloc...)
Coucou Anieta
Bon, je pense qu'on va bientôt se voir en Guyane, et peut-être même travailler ensemble !!! 😉
Je suis sage-femme aussi, et moi j'arrive à Cayenne le 27 décembre, pour 6 mois....Noël sous la neige, et pour Nouvel An ambiance tropicale !!!
Je suis un peu rassurée par toutes tes discussions précédentes... ça a l'air de bien se passer pour toi, ton poste, l'acclimatation... pour le logement je te dirais bien que tu peux compter sur moi... mais attendre jusqu'en janvier (bon, jusqu'à la fin de décembre), à mon avis ça fera un peu long pour toi !!!
Merci pour toutes les questions posées jusqu'à présent, j'y trouve une mine d'infos plus qu'intéressantes !!! parce que moi aussi je pars là-bas toute seule à l'aventure !!!
si jamais tu as des petits conseils à me donner pour la "préparation" de mon voyage, n'hésites surtout pas !!!
Et puis à très bientôt de toute façon !!!
Hélène
coucou hélène !
très bien tout ca ! l hopital de cayenne a cruellement besoin de SF, contente de te voir arriver !
j'ai envie de te dire : n'aie crainte, le boulot ici est certes assez dur (bcp bcp de boulot...), mais l'ambiance est excellente, l'equipe de SF est jeune et on se serre les coudes (comme on peut)
niveau colloc, je connais une super colloc qui va se liberer debut janvier, j'ai mis une option dessus, on verra (gde maison au bord de la mer avec piscine, c est pas tt neuf mais elle a plein de charme ! ca sent le vecu !)...
a bientot !
anne
salut emma
je viens de lire la discussion!
il se trouve que moi aussi je veux m installer en guyane au moins pour un an et je suis a l iufm pour passer le concours de professeur des ecoles je le passe aen midi pyrénées mais j ai tres peu de chances de l avoir c est pour quoi je voudrais partir en guyane car j ai entendu dire qu ils recrutaient avec une licence dans l ouest du departement
mais est ce que tu t'es inscrite au crpe en Guyane? Peut être recrutent ils des profs vacataires, mais puisque tu es à l'iufm, autant passer le concours. Tiens moi au courant, car je pense sérieusement y partir et pourquoi pas avec une autre candidate...
merci emma de ta réponse !
en effet, j ai pensé a tout cela, mais si je passe mon concours SRPE a TOULOUSE je ne peut pas le passer en GUYANE et comme je suis deja inscrite en midi pyrénées pour cette année ...
donc j envisage de partir mi aout en guyane en tant qu enseignante vacataire car je sais qu ils recrutent c est inscrit sur le site du rectorat de guyane alors ça fera une année d expérience inoubliable et on sera vraiment utile je pense en tout cas + qu' eb métropole et apres si la vie me plait la bas j envisagerai de passer le concours la bas car si on l' a on leur doit 5 ans de service dans le departement
en tout cas si le projet te branche j en suis ravie car je pars seule alors si on est 2 ça serait super !!!
tiens moi au courant
a bientot caro

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!
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.?
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.
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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
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.
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?
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!
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.?
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.
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
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.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
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.
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?
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?
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.
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! 😄
