Ptit moment raccontage de vie : J'ai eu mon bac, j'ai fait une année de Fac qui ne m'a pas interressé, et en ce moment je fais un Bep en alternance qui lui aussi ne m'interresse vraimment pas...
Je ne sais toujours pas ce que je veux faire, c'est pour ça que j'ai pensé partir a l'étranger (aux Etats-Unis, en Australie ou au Canada), j'avais pensé partir avec un organisme pour un séjour linguistique, mais après avoir regardé et lut des avis sur le net j'ai remarqué que ce n'était peut être pas le bon plan (assez cher, pas toujours très bon, risque d'être avec des francophones). Après il me reste le choix d'aller travailler dans un des ces pays, mais ça me fait un peu peur à vrai dire (j'ai surement tord).
Donc je ne sais plus trop quoi faire et quoi penser, est ce que vous pouvez m'aider, me donner des piste ?
J'aurais bien continué par la suite des études dans un des ces pays, mais les frais d'université sont assez (voir très cher), j'ai lu sur le forum qu'il y avait des "community colleges" ou "tracker college" mais je n'ai pas compris comment ça marchait, vous pouvez m'en dire plus ?Est ce que l'Angleterre serait plus facile pour partir y étudier ?Enfin est ce que les organismes (EF, Nacel, STS, SILC...) sont vraimment des pompes à fric et un mauvais choix ?
Merci de votre aide
Désolé pour le pavé ^^
Bonne soirée
Je crois que ces organismes sont vraiment des pompes à fric en effet. Mais pour partir au Canada ou en Australie, tu peux trouver des infos sur www.pvtistes.net . Le PVT est un programme te permettant de partir un an au Canada oui en Australie et d'y travailler.
Ce site internet est vraiment génial. Par contre, pour ce qui est des Etats-Unis, je ne peux pas te conseiller, dsl.
Je t'encourage, c'est vraiment génial de changer de pays pour un temps.😎
Je ne connais pas l'Australie, donc je peux pas trop t'en parler...
Le Canada, et bien c'est grand, on peut travailler dans les 2 langues, c'est à côté des États-Unis, la mentalité est différente d'en Europe...la culture aussi. 🙂
L'Australie et le Canada dont 2 pays très multiethniques, donc égal de ce côté.

Je recherche surtout une ville qui bouge pas mal, ou y a des jeunes pour faire la fête, une ville ou on s'ennuye pas (comme tout le monde en gros ^^)
Sinon niveau climat j'arrive pas trop à me rendre compte pour le canada ?
Ah oui, pour apprendre l'anglais c'est pas handicapant qu"il y est les deux langues ? (genre que je sois tenté par la facilité de parler en français)
Et trouver un travail c'est facil au Canada ?
Enfin est ce que les Canadiens sont acceuillants ? (comme on le dit pour les Australiens)
Je crois que c'est tout niveau question que je me pose là 🙂
Et bien il existe plusieurs villes au Canada qui correspondant à ce que tu recherches, je pense entre autre à Montréal et Toronto.
Pour le climat, encore là ne pas oublier que le Canada est immense et il y a plusieurs climats: en Colombie-Britannique, c'est plutôt doux (jamais en dessous de -5 degrés l'hiver) mais pluvieux.
L'Ontario, le Québec, les Maritimes: très froid l'hiver, généralement plus ensoleillé. L'été: parfois insupportable à cause de la chaleur et l'humidité (pire à Toronto).
L'Albera: froid l'hiver, mais sec. Agréable l'été.
Là encore, tout dépend des villes...
Ah oui, pour apprendre l'anglais c'est pas handicapant qu"il y est les deux langues ?
Le français est la seule langue officielle au Québec, donc évidemment pas le meilleur endroit pour un séjour linguistique en anglais, du moins pas sur une courte période. Tu rencontreras inévitablement des Français...
Le Nouveau-Brunswick est la seule province bilingue.
Tout le reste, en anglais seulement. Généralement, plus tu te déplaces vers l'Ouest, moins tu auras de chances de croiser des francophones. Tout est vraiment en anglais.
Et trouver un travail c'est facil au Canada ?
Difficile à dire! Là encore, tout dépend de la province...le taux de chômage diffère pour chaque endroit...L'Alberta a une pénurie de main-d'oeuvre! Le Québec et l'Ontario, non, mais il y a du boulot.
Enfin est ce que les Canadiens sont acceuillants ?
Bien sûr! 😉
Comme tu vois, si tu penses à aller au Canada, il faudra plutôt choisir en fonction de la province, elles sont toutes différentes ou presque et les villes aussi! Je te suggère d'acheter un livre pour te faire une idée.
Bonne chance!

Ton message a attiré mon attention parce qu'il me semble que je suis exactement dans le meme situation que toi: Je suis actuellement en M1 de psychologie mais je n'ai pas du tout envi de reprendre la fac cette année. Du coup, j'aimerai bien voyager cette année mais le probleme c que je trouve tres peu de renseignements... Au debut j'avais en tete de partir aux USA mais plus le temps passe plus je suis interessée par l'Australie.
Je voudrai savoir si tu es ok pour qu'on echange les informations que l'on a chacun de notre coté afin d'éviter de perdre trop de temps?
Tiens moi au courant et merci d'avance.

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! 😄
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
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
