bonsoir,
je souhaite tout quitter pour partir vivre en espagne. j'ai besoin d'aide pour des renseignements pratiques, tels que recherche de boulot ou d'appartement.
faites moi partager vos experiences
merci d'avance
Salut,
C est une tres bonne idée, moi je vis depuis plus de deux ans à Madrid. et j ai vécu à Valencia et à Barcelone... Tu vas te plaire, c est un pays vraiment chouette...du moins, moi je ne mén irai pas díci pour tout l´or du monde.
Et bien, si tu penses t expatrier en Espagne, il te faudra penser à ton arriver faire une demande de carte de résident au comissariat de police ( c est pas necessaire, mais si tu veux ensuite cotiser à la sécu, faire des papiers, ouvrir un compte bancaire, etc on ne cessera jamais de te le demander) . Ensuite pense aussi "empadronarte" à la mairie oú tu seras domiciliée (la aussi c est tres important, parce que ta carte de résident ne prouves pas que tu es résident pour les impots...et du coup ca peut t eviter pas mal de souci par la suite) Moi je l avais pas fait, et ensuite cela a éte´rocambolesque avec les admnistrations...faut s armer de patience.
Pour les apartements, cela dépend de la zone oú t en iras vivre. Il y a des zones oú il y a moins de demande et c est plus ou moins facile. Si tu vas à Barcelone ou Madrid, faudra penser partager un apartement ( c est cher entre 300 et 450 euros la piaule...oui oui l Espagne n est plus si bon marché qu autrefois). Il est de coutume que l on te demande un mois de caution ( tout cela sans contrat...donc fais attention) Pour louer un apartement pour toi seul, penser avoir un cautionnaire...et si on te demande 6 mois de loyers ou de depots...refuses!!!(mais c est tres courant)
Pour le travail tu pourras consulter des offres sur www.infojobs.net Saches que les salaires espagnols sont plus bas que les francais, qu on peut te payer sur 13 ou 14 mois (pagas prorogateadas), verifie si l entreprise cotise pour toi á la secu (y a plein de petits malins qui ne le font pas) et regarde toujours bien ta feuille de paye (oú vont tes cotisations). Ah oui, un truc tout à fait español, c est de quitter son job du jour au lendemain pour un meilleur. Moi, j ai toujours des scrupules, mais pourtant si on te propose mieux, les préavis sont courts, voire inexistants le premier mois...
Sinon, je ne te souhaite que de bonnes choses. C est un chouette pays au niveau humain, moi je n en repars plus vu que j y ai maintenant mes amis et un fiancé... Bonnes chance. Si t as besoin de plus d infos, n hesite pas a demander

Coucou, oui je parlais espagnol par contre je n avais qu un vague contact sur Madrid...qui au final m a bien aidé.
Par contre tu peux regarder sur www.easypiso.com pour chercher une coloc. Par contre je te conseille d aller visiter avant de prendre l apart, pour t eviter une mauvaise surprise. J ai trouvé mon apart sur cette web et ma coloc est devenue une super amie avec le temps... les colocs au debut c est bien cela te permet de rencontrer des gens du pays et de t integrer petit a petit..

Tu penses aller vivre oú en Espagne? Tu as une petite idée?
salut vall moi aussi j'ai très envie de partir vivre en espagne et y trouver un emploi afin de finir mes jours la-bas car je ne supporte plus de vivre ici.Je me suis renseignée auprès de beaucoup d'amis espagnols sur la vie en espagne et ils m'ont fortement déconseillée d'y vivre car, parait-il, la vie est plus difficile qu'ici!Je travaille en restauration et je suis payée au smic alors pour moi, la vie est déja difficile et j'adore les challenge. donc comme je suis assez tetue, j'ai décidé que je partirai quand meme, quitte a galérer un peu au début mais je pense que tous les obstacles sont surmontables.Quand j'ai vu ton message, j'ai eu envie de te répondre car c'est toujours mieux de partager nos impressions sur quelque chose qu'on a en commun.Je ne sais pas quel age tu as mais tu as raison de vouloir partir car je pense qu'il n'y a plus d'avenir pour nous ici.J'ai 27 ans et je me suis donné jusqu'a mi 2009 pour partir, le temps de mettre de l'argent de coté et d'apprendre parfaitement la langue car il est très important de parler et de comprendre la langue, c'est un obstacle de moins dans un pays ou on vient de débarquer sans forcément tout connaitre! Enfin si tu veux qu'on reste en contact afin d'en discuter ensemble, j'en serais ravie. Abientot....Sophie--libellule01
bonjour sophie,
merci pour ta réponse. c'est vrai que ça aide de partager ces impressions. moi c'est un peu vague encore pour moi cette envie de partir en espagne je me renseigne pour ne pas faire non plus n'importe quoi. Pour ma part j'ai 26 ans je travaille ds le tourisme. je prend depuis debut janvier des cours d'espagnol pour me remettre a niveau. je sais que la vie est aussi dur la bas qu'ici mais bon le climat et l'ambiance ne sont peut etre pas la meme non plus. moi je vis en region parisienne par obligation pour mon travail et je n'aime pas vraiment ce style de vie. je reflechis je pèse le pour et le contre encore ..... restons en contact pour en discuter ensemble. tu souhaites aller ds quelle ville d'espagne ?? A bientot valérie

Salut Valérie,
merci de m'avoir répondu c'est très sympa, cela faisait quelques jours que je cherchais des personnes dans mon cas afin de partager nos idées et les questions qu'on se pose dans ces moments la. Donc je me présente je m'apelle Sophie, j'ai 27 ans et j'habite pres de lyon dans l'ain ou je bosse comme serveuse dans un café. J'ai découvert l'espagne cet été avec ma meilleure amie car nous avions reservé un hotel sur la costa brava a calella très exactement a environs 50 km de barcelone. Ce pays, du moins cette région, m'a beaucoup plu pour son ambiance chaleureuse et festive avec des gens très ouverts et sympathique, mais aussi pour son climat .Nous avons donc décidé de tout mettre en oeuvre pour y retourner et nous établir la-bas.Je pense que dans un premier temps, nous resterons sur la costa brava si possible vers barcelone, comme cet été, et puis après, pourquoi pas plus au sud.Pour la langue, la-bas il parlent le catalan mais avec l'espagnol je m'en sortirait très bien. Je possède des bases solides en espagnol et depuis quelques semaines je me perfectionne afin de le parler le plus couramment possible. Je vais te donner ma technique pour te perfectionner rapidement après avoir appris les bases.J'ai acheté un dico francais-espagnol, espagnol-francais ainsi qu'un bescherelle de grammaire avec plus de 10000 verbes(je te donnerais les références si ca t'interresse).En parralèle, presque tous les jours, je regarde des dvd que je connais par coeur( moi c'est "friends" c'était ma série préférée et je connais tous les épisodes)en version espagnole et j'écoute très attentivement. Au début je ne distinguais aucun mot tant ils parlent vite, mais au bout de plusieurs visionnages(il ne faut pas hésiter a se passer plusieurs fois le mme épisode a la suite) j'arrivais a comprendre quelques mots, puis petit a petit, a entendre tous les mots.Et puis lorsqu'il y en a un que je ne connais pas ou que j'ai oublié, j'appuie sur pause et je le cherce dans mon dictionnaire et pareil pour les verbes. Tu verra c'est très enrichissant car tu apprendra a maitriser la diction, la prononciacion et l'accent(c'est pas obligatoire mais je trouve que c'est bien) et surtout, le plus important, a écouter car meme si on parle bien une langue, si on ne comprends pas les gens ça ne sert pas a grand chose. Tu verra cette méthode est super et apprendre en autodidacte n'est pas si compliqué quand tu es vraiment motivée.
Bon je parle beaucoup ca va te faire pas mal de lecture alors je vais m'arreter la pour aujourd'hui, de toute facon on reste en contact ya pas de soucis. Abientot...Sophie
non tinquietes tu ne parles pas trop ! ça va j'ai eu de la lecture 😉
sinon moi j'ai dejà été à Valencia j'ai adoré cette ville, a Alicante aussi et un peu aussi dans le nord ouest du pays.
j'aimerai plutot decouvrir barcelone et toute la region ou toi tu as été, c'est par la bas le mieux je pense pour s'installer.
Pour tes methodes pour apprendre l'espagnol je trouve ça super !!! en plus je suis une fan de friends donc je vais re re regarder mes dvd en version espagnol maintenant !!!
je t'en dirais des nouvelles !
par contre je pense que toi tu as plus de possiblilités que moi en tant que serveuse pour trouver un travail sur place, tu as l'expèrience c'est bien !
j'espère pouvoir m'organiser un petit week end bientot sur barcelone pour pouvoir découvrir cette ville.
voilà, a bientot

Bonjour j'ai suivie vos message je souhaite aujourd'hui tout quitter pour aller vivre en Espagne car je suis partit en vacance a calella et j'en suis tomber amoureux les gens savent faire la fete sont cool gentil aimable et je ne supporte plus la france toute ces lois les gens qui font toujours la tête et surtout l'homme qui la préside :-) on a plus le droit de rien faire en france bref je voudrai vivre en espagne mais sa me fait vraiment peur de tout quitter et d'arriver en Espagne les main vide pas de travail d'appart et surtout je ne parle pas la langue.

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 17.
I'd like to find a site that offers a total immersion with a family between Vancouver and Calgary for 4 weeks this summer. Not specifically with a teacher at home because it's very expensive on the sites I've already checked, nor with classes at a school or activities with other foreigners since the immersion isn't enough.
Thanks for your help.
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,

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! 🥺🏻

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! !

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! 😄
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! :)
