Est ce que quelqu'un pourrait me renseigner sur la vie au Chili. Car on vient de me proposer un stage a la montagne, a Las Trancas a 8km de Termas de CHillan... Je serai logee et nourrie par l'entreprise, c'est deja cool. Donc il me faudrait des renseignements sur le prix des transports, le prix pour visiter et sortir un peu. Etant donné que je n'aurai pas d'aide de l'ecole ou autre, je voulais savoir combien je devrai economiser pour vivre pendant 6 mois. Je devrai rester de mars a septembre, quel sera le temps?
Je ne connais pas du tout ce pays, est ce qu'il y a bcp de jeunes et d'expat? Car je suis actuellement a Vientiane pour un stage aussi et ici ya de tout des VIE, des stagiaires, des expat... Donc je voulais savoir a quoi m'attendre...
J'attends vos reponses avec impatience. Merci d'avance. Ciao!!
Les coûts, eh bien tout dépend de ce que tu veux voir en fait. Le Chili c'est très long donc les distances sont grandes.
Après, Chillan c'est pas la capitale, donc les prix seront peut-être plus bas.
Je suis à Santiago, et je peux de dire que y'a plein plein de Français!! Par contre à Chillan je sais pas, regarde voir sur le site de l'Alliance Française...
Côté météo, de mars à septembre, c'est pas génial... Je suis passée à Chillan en juillet, c'est là que j'ai acheté mon ciré, et que je suis restée coincée 24h à cause d'innondations. Il pleut pas mal en juillet ;) Mais il fait pas trop froid.
Pour voir des photos, cf mon blog (adresse ci-dessous). Entre Santiago et Chiloé, moi j'ai vraiment bien aimé Villarica/Pucon les volcans tout ça (même en hiver!! magnifique) et Chiloé j'ai adoré (là encore c'était en hiver et on a eu du beau temps) et enfin la région des Lacs je me suis pas arrêtée mais ça a l'air plutôt beau!
Salut,
moi je reviens de 5 mois au Chili (de avril à septembre) en stage, donc dans le meme cas que toi.
Au niveau des transports, c'est pas cher si tu prends le bus (voir le train, encore moins cher mais plus long et seulement 1 ligne nord-sud); attention, il y a differentes categories suivant le confort (classic, semi cama ou cama) à des prix qui peuvent aller du simple au triple!!!
Au Chili, tu va rencontrer beaucoup de francais, il y a en effet un grosse communauté. Tu va rencontrer aussi des routards quand tu va te ballader, puisqu'on se retrouve souvent aux meme adresses (routard, futé, lonely, etc.) Attention, a cette saison, c'est l'hiver, très pluvieux, d'ou de nombreux problèmes d'innondations.
Au niveau budget, c'est difficile à evaluer; si tu es logé/nourri, ca va pas te couter grand chose, mais tout dépend si tu bouges beaucoup, ca va plomber direct la facture:
par exemple: transport: bus Santiago Temuco (700km env) 13€ env
Hebergement: la formule hospedaje; o trouve pour env 6€ la nuit et 7, 5€ avec le pti dej
Pour info, durant mon stage, je dépensait env 150€ à 200€/mois sachant que j'étais seulement logé, je payais avec ca: bouffe, eau, electricité+quelques sorties.
Après mon stage, j'ai visité le pays, et là, ca m'a couté beaucoup plus cher!!!
Voila, si tu as encore quelques interrogations, tu peux me poser des questions pas mail: dechamps_b@yahoo.fr
Bon voyage, profite en, c'est loin et tu risque de ne pas y retourner de si tot 😛
Merci pour tes reponses a mes questions. Bah j'imagine ke ce soit etre loccasion de ma vie et on me dit beaucoup de bien du Chili... Mais je ne peux partir sans un sous. Je reviens a peine de stage aussi de 6 mois au Laos (il y a une semaine a peine) et je n'ai reçu aucune aide, j'ai un crédit sur le dos en plus en France donc ça n'arrange pas grand chose... JE suis a decouvert depuis 3 semaines (-700 euros) sa craind et ma banque m'harcele hihi
SI je commence en mars comme prévu, il me reste 3 bons mois pour économiser et recouvrir toutes mes créances. Cela va être hardcore mais je vais tout tenter quite a enchainer deux trois boulots comme aux Etats unis hihi. En faisaint les calculs il me faudrait 1000e de billet davion + 200e/ mois soit 1000 + 200*6 = 2200 a garder en 3 mois sa va etre chaud grave mais bon qui ne tente rien a rien donc je vais essayer meme si la lueur d'espoir est faible lol
En tout cas si tu peux me dire un peu plus sur ton stage, pour me dire comment sa c passé, qu'est ce que tu as fait comme mission...
Salut,
j'ai travailler pour une mairie, celle de Lumaco.
C'est une petite commune (12000 habitants, c'est peu à la vue de l'étendue de la commune), très rural et très pauvre (7ème village le plus pauvre du Chili). C'est à 1h30 de route au nord ouest de Temuco.
J'y ai travaillé sur le Plan de Developpement Communal (diagnostic de la commune par l'équipe municipale à la rencontre de la population - definition des priorités - calendrier des projets sur 6 ans).
J'ai fais cela dans le cadre de ma licence pro Urbanisme spe. Geomatique (+/- cartographie informatique) et amenagement durable
Voila grossièrement ce que j'ai fais.
Si tu veux en savoir plus, il y a mon mail un peu plus haut.
Peut etre à une prochaine et bon voyage
salut, je recherche un stage, au chili, ou ailleurd'ailleur, mais si vous avez des adresse et des infos, ca m'interresse. c'est tre difficile pour trouver d'ici un stage à l'etranger, surtt dansmon domaine: art, evenementiel, graphisme, etc...
si tu peux m'aider...
merci
Bon plan le Chili mais c'est un des pays les plus cher de l'Amérique latine... niveau logement et dépenses courantes.
Tu as pensé à l'argentine ? moins cher et peu être même plus d'opportunités.
Au niveau des pistes que je peux te donner, en général les CCI à l'étranger ont des listes d'entreprises françaises implantées la bas, mais souvent ils la font payé, puis le résultat est pas top après deux semaines de mailing, puisque beaucoup d'étudiants y pensent aussi.
Regarde se site, y a pas mal d'information:
Comme disait Pierre Dac, mon idole, au chili il n'y a qu'une seule ligne de train, qui va du sud au nord, donc si vous allez à l'est, merci de descendre quai numéro 1, sinon pour l'ouest c'est quai numéro 2 :-)
c'est tres gentil de m'avoir répondu, en effet j'avais deja pensé à l'argentine et avais deja visité ce site, le problème c'est le coté payant mais je vais peut etre m'y soumettre à faute d'autre chose.
merci encore.
Salut, je viens de tomber sur ton message qui ne date d'ailleurs pas d'aujourd'hui. Je me suis dit que peut etre que tu pourrais me renseigner sur le chili et sur des stages eventuels que je pourrais trouver. Depuis le temps tu as du revenir du Chili... merci d'avance bye!

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!^^
