Bonsoir les voyageurs :)
J'aurai besoins de quelques conseils et informations dans la mesure du possible: je vous explique ^^
Je suis tunisienne habitant en Tunisie et je m'apprête à partir en Inde, à Hyderabad plus précisemment , pour un stage de 6 mois.
Je suis très contente à l'idée de partir découvrir un nouveau pays , une nouvelle culture connue pour sa richesse .. sauf que je ne connais personne là bas , je ne connais aucun endroit , je ne sais pas ce que je ferai de mon temps libre, le budget que je dois prévoir pour manger , pour le transport, .. où sortir durant la journée et le soir aussi surtout les week end ..
Les noms des endroits à visiter , des resto, des cyber café , des clubs etc me seraient très utilies :)
est ce qu'il y'en a parmi vous qui sont encore là bas ? quelles sont vos avis concernant cette région ?
et une dernière chose , je voudrai profiter de l'un des week end pour visiter New Delhi , donc je voulais savoir combien me coûterai un billet d avion aller/retour un week end ?
j'espère que y'en aura parmi vous qui auront quelques réponses qui pourraient m'aider..
merciii d'avance pour votre aide :))
Salam !
bien Hyderabad, j'y suis allé 5 jours en 2009, il est clair que la ville est grouillante, bruyante, voir infernale, mais quelques spots sont sympa, les tombeaux qtub, le fort de golconde, surtout le quartier situé a gauche de l'entrée, le lac central ou faire une ballade en bateau, pas terrible mais sympa quand meme, aussi quelques bons restos chers (pizza à 8 euro) dans un quartier huppé d'hyderabad, pizzeria et autres délices étonnement bons apres d'excellents restos dans les quartiers normaux, ou déguster un byriani comme seuls savent faire les habitants de l'andrha pradesh, il faut demander aux personnes aevc qui tu vas bosser pour les bons plans aussi il existe un genre de hall avec de la neige artificielle, parait que c'est assez crade mais rigolo (pour les enfants) apres autour d'hyderabad il y a moyen de visiter de supers coins, mais je t'en parlerais un peu plus tard, je dois partir là

petit résumé de mon voyage en andrha pradesh en 2009...
😉 a+ toto
aussi quelques belles photos du coin (photos publiques pas nécessaire d’être logué facebook juste recopier le lien+ enter) http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1130692625552.22290.1174347506&l=fec547dd84&type=1
La capitale , Hyderabad est pas géniale, sauf le lac central...... le "charminar" et son quartier vraiment chouette les tombeaux de qutub sahi vraiment grandioses// le fort de golconde à voir aussi et le quartier autour… les meilleurs byrianis sont effectivement proposés à Hyderabad….
Route sympa pour Warangal :temple aux mille piliers et sites de toute beauté comme son fort, le musée en plein air Bon hébergement dans la ville, aussi un lac sympa avec son temple hindou à voir .
Bhadrashalam, petite ville assez quelconque mais avec un beau temple hindou, un fleuve et surtout a 35 km de cette ville un petit sanctuaire hindou du nom de parnashala, situé au bord du fleuve et dans un petit village adorable. De rajhamundry, prendre un bateau de croisiere ( a l'indienne) pour 1 journée géniale a passer sur le fleuve godavari Avec des danses bollywoodiennes effectuées par le staff du bateau, repas assez bon, et surtout paysages magnifiques Possibilité de dormir dans un camp a l'écart de tout ( se renseigner dans une agence de voyage a rajamundry (parlent pas ou peu l'anglais)
Vishakapatnam: grande ville sympa située au bord de la mer, j'ai bien aimé ce coin, plutôt se baigner au nord a la plage de Rishikonda et si vous avez les moyens, dormir dans les resorts proposés sur place, sinon dodo a vishakapatnam… (hebergempents assez chers en hotelerie donc tabler sur guesthouses
Vallée d'Araku Un endroit magique qu'Araku, de nombreuses possibilités d'hébergement offertes, un petit village ou on y mange bien, une campagne aux alentours de toute beauté, de nombreuses petites routes à prendre a pied ou à vélo ou en taxi pour le plaisir de découvrir une superbe région montagneuse….
Aussi le temple de Tirumala a tirupati, tout au sud de l'andrha, mérite une visite, vu le peu de touristes européens qui y trainent, c'est un paradis, la ville est pas géniale, mais sympa quand même, il faut d'abord acheter un bracelet en ville, proche de la gare , pour acceder au temple, situé a 13km dans une montagne, avec controle de douane policiere de ton vehicule, (clopes, alccol, briquet interdits) differents tarifs du bracelet, mais prendre le moins cher, qui peret d'acceder au lieu sacré.. moi j'ai pas pu acceder (j(y étais quand même 2x) a l'interieur du temple tellement il ya avait de monde qui attendait, en file indienne (lol) et tu dois patienter dans un long chemin avec des grilles, bref j'ai senti une crise de claustrophobie venir rien qu'en voyant les gens s'entasser dans ces couloirs qui contournent le temple. mais on peut passer des heures à regarder ce qui se passe autour , tu peux même redescendre la montagne en prenant le sentier (en dur avec escaliers et toiture en tole) pour revenir en ville.

Bonjour !
Je suis étudiant Français (et breton!) et m'apprête à partir 6 mois en stage sur Hyderabad, entre février et aout. L'entreprise est tout ce qu'il y a de plus sérieux, et ils ne devraient pas me laisser dans la nature. Seulement, j'ai plusieurs questions, notamment vis-a-vis : - des différents réseaux pour rencontrer des étrangers (associations semblables à erasmus ?), pour sortir, rencontrer du monde, sympathiser, histoire de voyager et visiter le pays sans être tout seul ! - du climat : entre février et aout, cela ne semble pas être la période la plus appropriée, je cite le site de l'université d'Hyderabad : " The best time of the year to visit Hyderabad is during the winter months (November to February), when the climate is pleasant 13°-33°C. Summers (March to May) are quite hot with the mercury rising up to 40°-41°C. Monsoons (June to October) are sultry yet fun for those who enjoy rains."
J'aimerais savoir si c'est vraiment handicapant, si l'acclimatation est difficile ou non etc... Besoin de retours d'expériences, merci !!! =D

j'y étais entre février et mars 2009, pas eu si chaud que ça, bon un bon 25 26 ° de moyenne mais vraiment agréable, hyderabad par contre c'est etouffant, du point de vue circulation, taille de la ville, densité de la population j'en parle même pas, perso j'ai pas aimé Hyderabad, ok le charminar et sonquartier populaire est sympa, et les tombeaux qtub magnifiques, mais sans plus; j'ai pas contre adoré la region de l'andrha entre warrangal et araku valley, en bonus les plages sympa de vishakapatnam (a rishikonda c'est top) et araku une merveille ce coin si tu aimes les promenades en montagne, + trip en bateau "de croisiere" sur le fleuve Godavari (genial avec possibilite de dormir dans un camp, faut se renseigner dans une agence de "voyage" a rajhamundry) par contre attention au fait qu'il y a beaucoup de naxalites dans la zone frotnaliere nord entre l' andrha et l'orissa, nous on etait en taxi ambassador, on a traverse pleinde villages estampillés marteau et faucille, du rouge partout, mais pas eu de soucis, apres ça dépend, y a des periodes ou ça chauffe et des trèves, mais j'ai vu il y a peu de temps que l'armée indienne se donnait 2 ans pour "éradiquer la vermine naxalite"......... perso quand tu vois comment sont traitées certaines populations des campagnes, on peut comprendre certaines envies extrêmes..... même si la violence ne résout rien... paradoxe pour le pays de gandhi, pays de la non violence..... en tout cas bonne chance en Inde, j'en suis à mon 9eme voyage la bas, et j'y retournerai en 2014 visiter l'himachal pradesh, et aussi je te conseille d'aller a puri en orissa, et aussi dans le tamil nadhu, a kanchipuram/ gingee/ mahmalipuram etc... a+ toto🙂

coucou, je suis désolée du retard, je viens juste de voir ton message.
je viens de rentrer d'Inde et ces 6 mois ont été la plus belle expérience de ma vie.
L'inde est un pays magnifique mais ce qui a rendu cette expérience aussi fantastique, ce sont surtout les gens que j'y ai rencontré.
j'espère que tu profites pleinement de ton séjour làbas , et profites en pour visiter le reste de l'Inde car ça n'a rien avoir avec Hyderabad ...
bon courage pour la chaleur, je sais que c'est infernal durant cette période de l'année ^^

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’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! !

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[;)!!!]

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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
Hello. We’re a couple with an 11-year-old daughter and we’re looking for a good deal on a bar and/or restaurant in the tourist areas of Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Mérida. If anyone knows of one or is on the ground and can give us some great tips, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Safe travels.
