Original post
bonjour a tous je me presente anthony je désir partir plusieurs années au sénégal plus présisement en casamance et j aimerai avoir des info sur le cout de la vie, et tout se qui me serai utile de savoir. en meme temps si je peut avoir quelque contact avant de partir cela me ferai tres plaisir. merci d avance a vous tous pour les reponse que vous aller m offrir. 😉
tu ne dis rien de tes projets en Casamance, mais peut être as tu simplement envie de glander.
en tout cas le coût de la vie peut ne pas être élevé.
Si tu vas dans un village tu peux louer une chambre pour moins de 10000fcfa par mois et te nourrir pour pas cher du tout, et tu peux aussi vivre au stade au dessus et manger dans des gargotes pour 750 fcfa/ repas.
ne te fais pas de souci tu auras toujours assez pour vivre....... simplement
Cordialement
Toi tu doi avoir trouver une femme que t'aime pour prévoir d'aller en casamance plusieurs années avant même d'y avoir été une fois (rires) moi je m'appel yohann je rejoin ma ptite femme de fin novembre a fin janvier à Oussouye, moi aussi je prévoi beaucoup de projets dans ma tête mais hélas je devrai rentrer assez vite pour travailler en france, j'aimerai beaucoup pouvoir avoir un logement a moi là bas que je pourrai louer pourkoi pas dès ke je suis en france.
moi je recherche un surfeur qui arrive a surfé en casamance car c'est ma passion principale et j'adorerai pouvoir me rafraichir et pratiqué ma passion en même temps (rires) ça serai vraiment un rêve pour moi de surfé de jolies vagues sur la côte du cap skirring ou cabrousse, je ne connai pas le meilleur endroit pour le surf en casamnce, il nya aucun site qui parle du vrai surf en casa (la meilleure saison pour le surf en casamnce es de nov a mars grâce aux dépressions hivernal du nord atlantique qui envoi la houle sur toutes les côtes de bretagne a la guinée) 😮 c'est tout ske je sai et puis cabrousse aparement est l'endroit pour le surf mais comment louer des planches ?? Je ne prend pas la mienne sinon il ny aura pas de vagues lol ....

que veux tu faire en Casamance?y es tu déjà allé?
Pour le boulot tu rêves un peu à moins d'avoir de l'argent faire de l'hôtellerie et embauché du personnel local.Tu vas être confronté en permanence à la corruption encore plus si tu montes ton propre boulôt.
ça veut dire aussi savoir surveiller un chantier tte la journée et donner des ordres
savoir supporter le tourisme sexuel en plein développement notamment avec les enfts
supporter ts ces toubabs qui vont à cap (sekrin ?)pour s'étaler sur les plages
si tu aimes le jumbé pas de pb il y a essentiellement des ados qui ne font que cela chomage oblige
sénegal 60000 d'habitants tout le monde se connait et te connait.Du coup la casamance un gros village
Tu vas être un passeport ambulant ce qui à la longue est chiant meme si on peu comprendre
Tu planes un peu
j'aurais ton age je me baladerais plut^t ds toute l'afrique et ailleurs pour comprendre les choses plutôt que de vouloir m'y installer.
Bon un peu décourageante la vielle
LN
Hélène
vas déjà te balader labas tu comprendras vite sur place
Il faut être magouilleur pour réussir au Sénégal et donc un peu corrompu
les seuls européens que j'ai vue s'installer étaient ds l'hôtellerie ou des femmes âgées avec un jeune jules sur place qui se faisaient rapidement arnaquées
IL y avait aussi de jeunes RMIST à l'époque où on ne devait certainement pas pointer qui se maquait avec une personne du coin et construisait "une baraque à frites " sur la plage
Chaque fois que je vois un reportage sur le sénégal assez récent je vois les même personnes.
le mieux si tu est un homme honnette c'est de faire le tour de plusieurs pays d'acheter de l'artsanat directement ds les villages a toi de surveiller où va l'argent
et tu va ensuite l'éte sur les marchés en France vendre ...Ca veut dire debout 1h du matin pour trouver une place et acheter de la marchandise originale au départ car le truc est assez saturer qd aux choix des marchandises.
En afrique si tu as un pote il te roule, te vole et le matin avec le plus beau sourire il te "dira ce n'est pas grave"...vu la pauvreté des gens si tu te proménes avec un copain tu devras le nourrir, le coucher etc...
a mon avis tu rêves et pourquoi pas ??????????????????
en plus il faut mieux dire que tu es belge que français "on est mal vu entre autre pour arogance...il y a certainement du vrai la dedans
Non je n'ai pas d'adresse valable J'ai un copain de mon age qui a adopte un garçon sénégalais qui est cuisinier(le garçon) maintenant .Il a eu assez d'argent pour acheter une maison avec des Français habitant en France. il en a fait un hotel classe .Mais lui avait 30ans d'afrique qd il c'est lancé là dedans, et chacun à des parts ds le projet c'est à l'ouest de rosso .Il y a un site sur internet .Il faudrait que je lise une carte pour retrouver et tu verrais quel type f'affaire c'est...Mais 30 ans d'afrique en y travaillant sur Dakar derrière lui LN

Hélène
cherches sur le net
hotel, podor senegal, guilaume foy et tu verras ce qu'ils ont fait il y a bp de photos
je ne peux t'en dire plus mais je te garantie qu'il faut être bien introduit ds le pays et avoir l'aide financière de copains .A mon avis c'est surtout un désir vis à vis de l(Afrique pour ces gens qu'un désir d'avoir de l'argent car ils ont ts un metier par ailleurs
LN
Hélène
Regarde déjà ts les campements qu'il y a sur le net.Je suis allée en Casamance, ils étaient ts vides peut être pas la bonne période Aout....les européens vont surtout ds des hôtels style club med, tt organisés et font de la bronzette sur la plage.Ils voient 3 baobabs et "ils connaissent le pays".
Fais pas ça tt seul tu vas vite déprimer à force de te faire rouler au moins tu auras une épaule pour te consoler et repartir de plus belle
Il n'y a pas que les fonds il faut savoir être trés ferme pour faire bosser les gens .On s'use vite et il faut aimer Ca
Réponds à cette question es tu déja allé labas??????????????
LN
Hélène
alors part quelques mois et tu verras si tes motivations tiennent tjrs.
bon je ne peut rien te dire de plus
au revoir
BON COURAGE
LN
Hélène
bonsoir!!
j'ai lu ton projet de voyage en casamance mais aussi les réponses que tu as recus!!!!!moi, , je suis au sénégal et à dakar banlieue pour étre précis!!!!! mais comme tu n'es jmais venu ici, , , , il faudra faire attention, , , , , , je suis sénégalais et je te dis que mes compatriotes sont tres doués sur les arnaques et autres.....je te dis de faire gafle avec tout le monde, , , , , , , , , ok!!!!!!! n'empéche, , , c'est un bon pays ou il fait bon vivvre si tu as des sous!!!!rirre!!!!!!!
aller bienvenu au pays de l'hospitalité!!!!!!!
je ne sais pas combien de temps vous avez vécu là-bas, mais je pense que vous n'avez pas du aller au bon endroit, domage...
je suis allée de partout de Rosso en casamence.
Tjrs le mensonge, la drague des ados alors que j'avais 50 ans, le vol .C'était il y a 13 ans et pas encore de tourisme sexuelle sur les enfts.C'est en ça que je dit qu'il ne faut pas tjrs voir un pays comme idyllique même si on peut comprendre leurs pbs.
OK

Hélène
oui mais je pense qu'étant donné que la majorité des européenes vont pour le sexe, il est normal qu'ils tentent leur chance, pour ma part, étant très claire sur le sujet, je n'ai pas rencontré de problème...il faut parfois voir qui créent les problèmes...
en ts les cas ce n'est pas moi qui ai crée des pB
tu n'arriveras pas à me faire changer d'avis

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!

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 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?

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!!

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[;)!!!]
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.

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! 😄
