j attend vos conseil avec impatience
merci
La Guyane côté appartement et boulot c'est la crise. Cela dit, comme je suis quelqu'un qui croit en sa chance, si tu es comme ça aussi tu trouveras surement ce que tu demandes.
Les loyers pour un studio sont souvent au minimum dans les 500 euros sur Cayenne, en tout cas c'est ce que me disent mes potes (moi j'ai un T2 pour 468 euros, donc on peut trouver), je ne sais pas pour Kourou ou Saint Laurent du Maroni. De toute façon quand on arrive, à moins d'avoir le bonheur d'avoir quelqu'un qui nous a déjà trouvé un appart, on peut louer des chambres. Pour le boulot, je pense que tout dépend de ce que tu cherches. A vrai dire ta question n'est pas des plus précises.
Pour te donner une idée, la Guyane est composée de 3 grandes villes, si on peut dire, qui sont Cayenne (avec l'Ile de Cayenne qui regroupe Remire-Montjoly et Matoury), Kourou et Saint Laurent. Kourou c'est la fusée Ariane, Cayenne est une ville sympa mais plutôt comment dire, européenne (bof je trouve rien d'autre), alors que je trouve Saint Laurent beaucoup plus typique (on se sent davantage en Guyane à Saint Laurent).
La forêt amazonienne est omniprésente : possibilités de faire de la randonnée, des remontées de fleuve, c'est tout simplement magique.
Il y a des villages à l'intérieur qui ne sont accessibles qu'en avion ou en pirogue. Il y a des villages amérindiens et noirs-marrons qui longent certains fleuves.
La couleur de la mer est le marron (paraît que ça vient des aluvions de la Cordillère des Andes, si t'y comprends quelque chose !!!), mais c'est un plaisir de s'y baigner quand même. tu peux pratiquer des sports aquatiques si tu aimes.
La vie associative en Guyane est très forte, un peu comme la Guadeloupe d'ailleurs. Au niveau du coût de la vie, comme j'ai entendu dire qu'il n'y avait pas plus cher que la Réunion, tu auras peut-être l'impression que tout est bon marché. Beaucoup de commerces et restos chinois, un hypermarché depuis 1 an, un ciné sur Cayenne, quelques bibliothèques sur l'ile de Cayenne, des discothèques si tu aimes ça, une période carnavalesque très forte partout en Guyane (les mecs du forum t'en parleront surement mieux que moi !!!)
Important ici d'avoir une voiture, les distances sont importantes et le réseau des transports en commun peu développé (plutôt taxicos que bus). 2 grandes routes : une qui relie Cayenne à Saint-Laurent : environ 250 kms, l'autre qui relie Cayenne à Regina...euh non pardon....au Brésil depuis qu'ils ont construit un pont !!!
Il y a un site en Guyane d'annonces sur lequel tu peux aller, c'est blada.com
En tout cas moi je vis ici depuis 6 ans, j'en pars le mois prochain mais j'ai adoré vivre en Guyane.
Avec ce petit topo, si tu as d'autres questions n'hésite pas. Tu cherches du boulot dans quoi ? tu voudrais venir quand ? Au fait, petite saison des pluies d'octobre à février, petit été de mars, grande saison des pluies d'avril à juin, saison sèche de juillet à septembre...mais on ne craint rien ici, il n'y a pas de cyclones, pas de tremblements de terre, pas de volcan. Décalage horaire : 5 heures de moins qu'en France
merci bcp pour toute ces information . ben comme bouleau en fait je suis pres a faire un peu de tout sa me derange pas dison ke si je viend je prend tous ce qui me passe sout la main . j aimerai venir habiter la ba le plus vite possible vers st laurent si possible . mais si je vien la ba sa sera en aventurier je viendrai ek mes economie et une fois sur place fo ke j improvise pr trouver du bouleau etc tu croi ke c possible ?? ou bien pense tu ke si je vien la bas je peu suivre une formation o rsma ou gsma? ou bien otre centre de formation ? pour ce qui es de la vie ki es chere c pa un probleme j ai l abitude ici a la reunion lol suffi de faire gaffe . a bientot j espere pour tou reponse a mes question merci
Je fonctionne toujours comme ça quand je décide de m'installer quelque part : j'arrive et je vois sur place. Si toi aussi tu es prêt à le faire, il n'y a pas de raison que tu ne trouves pas à t'installer. Concernant le rsma, je ne pourrais pas te dire mais je sais qu'il y a pas mal de jeunes qui font des formations. l'armée doit bien avoir un site internet aussi j'imagine, tu pourras peut-être y trouver des renseignements.
merci du conseil moi je suis d accord avec toi kan on veu vraiment on peu
meme si o debut je vai devoir travailler dure
et toi ta fai comment te aller sur place et ta improviser ??
bjr BEATRICES, je suis un marocain et je veux venir avec mes amis à Guyane pour, trouver un emploit et plutot notre sejour là bas, qu'estce que tu peux nous donner comme coenseils SVP
Je n'ai pas plus de conseils à donner que ceux dont j'ai parlé plus haut. Comme je l'ai dit, à chaque fois que je décide de partir ailleurs je vais sur place et je trouve un job.
Bon courage à toi et tes amis - Béatrice
Tu devrais deja connaitre la reponse en tant que Marocain.
Ce que tu risques, c'est purement et simplement l'expulsion du terrirtoire francais (la Guyane est un departement), plus l'interdiction d'entrée pendant plusieurs années...
Je ne crois pas que la Guyane soit a ce point attraillante pour risquer cette sanction...
Oui il y a un danger car les sans-papiers sont constamment pourchassés par la Police. Tu ne peux pas avoir un travail fixe, certaines entreprises prennent des clandestins et les paient très mal, c'est une vraie galère pour les sans-papiers. De toute façon si tu n'as pas de papiers tu ne pourras pas embarquer à bord d'un avion pour la Guyane.
Bonne chance à toi - Béatrice
merci, l'important pour c d'avoir les papiers français, je veux juste un travail pour vivre là bas, c defficile d'avoir les papiers là bas ? et il me faut combien de temps pour les avoirs ? sinon une femme pour un mariage blanc je peux la payer bien tres tres bien
oui tu as raiosn je trouve qu'un mariage c un peu defficile mais avec une contrat de taravil là bas serras facile n'est ce pas ? sinon c tu peux me dire une pistes svp
Bonjour Beatrice, je pars vivre en guyane avec mon copain au mois de fevrier et j ai pense que vous pourriez m eclairer sur certains points etant donne que vous connaissez bien le territoire.
Nous recherchons la formule la moins chere pour se loger, nous avons pense a la collocation et aussi a acheter ou louer une fourgo pour y vivre. Pensez vous que cela est faisable et facile de trouver ?
Aussi, quelle ville recommandez vous pour des gens qui cherchent a fuir les metropolitains ? J ai entendu dire que Cayenne etait bien trop europenne, est ce vrai ?
Les voitures sont elles plus cheres qu en france ? j ai cru comprendre qu il vallait mieux avoir son propre vehicule pour pouvoir se deplacer ... y aurait il quelques lignes de bus tout de meme dans Cayenne?
Je vous remercie d avance pour votre reponse.
Eve
PS : comment allez-vous? le retour en metropole n est pas trop rude ? bonne chance en tout les cas!
Bonjour,
Pour répondre à ta demande, tout d'abord en règle général il est facile de trouver du travail en Guyane, mais quel genre de travail recherches tu ?
Pour le logement, c'est beaucoup plus difficile etcher. La plupart des personnes surtout si elles sont seules, choisissent la colocation. Il existe un site : BLADA.COM ou faire colocation guyane tout simplement.
Je ne vis plus en Guyane depuis un peu plus de deux mois. Je voyage depuis a travers le Canada et j avoue que je me sens un peu decalee pour te repondre. La Guyane me semble un peu loin tout a coup. Envoie un petit message a la personne dont le pseudo est achilitan, elle te repondra surement, c`est une copine.
bonjour, je suis dans le même cas que la personne qui souhaite partir en guyane.
au niveau de l'immobilier est il facile d'acquérir un bien?
et lorsque vous parler de vie chère en guyane dans un de vos messages par rapport à la France, y a t il une différence si énorme avec la métropole?
et est ce que 2 salaires moyen d'un couple peut suffir pour vivre convenablement?
merci a l'avance de vos réponses.
à bientôt
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.?
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.
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! 😄
