Je compte traverser l'Inde du Nord au Sud en javier prochain.. en rickshaw.
Je part avec un ami qui a le permis A et B. Mais je n'ai que le permis B pour ma part.
Quelqu'un sait-t-il si le permis international obtenu avec un permis B permet de conduire en un rickshaw en Inde?
Si non, pensez vous que les controles sont frequents?
Je conduit parfois une voiture en Inde et je n'ai jamais été contrôlé (j'ai un permis B et le permis international en cours de validité). A ta place, je me préoccuperais plus de l'assurance du rickshaw que du permis 😎. Si jamais tu avais un accident (un simple accrochage), c'est là que les ennuis commenceront pas avant (tu es occidental donc pardéfinition tu as de l'argent, donc tu peux payer des dédommagements considérables, du moins c'est ce que penseront les indiens qui s'agglutineront autour de la tôle froissée) 🤪
Moi, c'est le "conduire en Inde" qui me fait tiquer un peu...
Franchement, faut avoir l'estomac bien accroché ! En plus à bord de ce genre de petit machin... 🤪
Faut absolument que tu nous montres des photos ou des vidéos quand tu auras réussi cette traversée !
Ouh! t'as pas froid aux yeux!
En tout cas bon courage car la conduite en Inde est incroyable et inoubliable! J'ai eu des grosses montées d'adrénaline durant mon voyage...🙂
Bonjour,
Si tu aimes conduire, aller vite, faire du slalom sur l'autoroute en France, alors tu n'auras aucun soucis sur place. De ce que j'en ai vu durant 2 semaines, la conduite en Inde est comme le Vietnam, voir plus facile. Et j'ai beaucoup conduit au Vietnam.
Mais si tu fais très attention à ta voiture, à la tôle, à ne pas avoir d'accident etc… alors oublie !
Tu comptes en acheter un ou le louer ? Ton idée m'intéresse !
En fait on va participer a une sorte de rally ou en gros les organisateurs fournissent un tuctuc vers katmandou et nous avons 2 a 3 semaines pour arriver jusqu a Cochin sans aucune assitance. Je sais pas si je peux en faire la pub mais en tapant dans google
rickshawrun theadventurists tu trouveras les infos, nous on fait la session winter 2010.
Bon je sais pas encore ce que ca vaut mais ca promet des sacre moments.
Le seul doute est sur le permis de conduire pour rickshaw car j espere bien ne pas avoir a passer le permis moto...
eheh en fait si.. mais bon comme c est pas tres positif et que ca m etonne qd meme car avec le permis B on peut conduire un 3 roue en france, j essaye de glaner des infos de differntes source... est ce que ca se tente??
ils disent ca:
They won't accept a drivers license B, you still need an International drivers permit (IDP) with category A stamped to drive a rickshaw regardless of whether you need a motocycle license.
Ça semble clair ! Il ne te reste plus qu'à passer ton permis moto ! Moi je n'ai plus le temps, dommage parce que j'ai vu qu'en Thaïlande ou au Sri Lanka ça se loue.
Bonne chance à toi, j'espère que tu vas pouvoir participer quand même ! Belle aventure, ça doit être rigolo de descendre en RS, mais bonjour le dos !
Je reviens ces jours-ci d'Inde en rickshaw avec un ami.
Je m'étais renseigné sur place ce le permis nécessaire et: 50% des officiels me disaient qu'il faut un permis indien, 50% que le permis international suffit.
Il semble que la bonne réponse soit que le permis international suffit.
Nous avons donc roulé avec un permis international catégorie B.
Néanmoins j'ai aussi fait le permis indien, m'étant arrangé pour en avoir un sans avoir à tout repasser, juste en montrant mon permis international. Je l'ai eu en une semaine mais ça dépend vraiment de sur qui tu tombes (et il m'a fallut donner une preuve d'adresse en Inde). C'est ensuite le permis qu'on a montré quand on nous l'a demandé (quelques rares contrôles en 3000 km).
Mais en partant du principe que tu es de bonne foi et que tu ne laches pas une roupie, ça ne doit pas t'effrayer.
Merci.
Je suis au Sri Lanka, je conduis le tuk-tuk depuis 2 semaines. Tout va bien, je montre mon permis international et parfois mon passeport quand c'est une tête de con (ça se voit direct sur leur visage les cons et les autres). Ici aussi il leur faut un permis spécial three weel…
Il faut un permis trois roue "3 wheeler" indien ou international accompagné de ton permi d'origine (donc français). Ca c'est la loi après chacun fait ce qu'il veut. Mais attention il y a quand même de plus de controles meme quand tu es en regle, tout dépend du bonus de fin de moi qui manque à l'agent qui te controle !
Voilà nous sommes de retour de cette grande aventure de l'himalaya au Sud de l'Inde en rickshaw...
Pas eu de problème avec les papiers. Mon camarade s'est fait controler une fois a Bombay. Mais il a enfumé le policier avec le trois roues qui est dessiné sur les permis de conduire francais...
Je suis en train de rédiger mes notes de voyage sur ce blog si vous voulez en savoir un peu plus.

Actuellement entrepreneur dans l'immobilier, transport, je cherche un(e) associé(e) / partenaires/ fondation pour un projet dans l'agriculture donc je suis propriétaire de 10 hectares de terrain.
Les hectares étant inexploités durant des années faute des moyens financiers car le projet nécessite un apport je dirait considérable , acteur principal que je suis je dispose d'un apport minimal.
Je crois qu'il est temps de donner vie à cette espace pour des besoins nesseciteux afin qu'il soit dans un intérêt commun à la société.
Le projet est simple :
1) Cultiver du maïs+usine de transformation en farine
2) Un mini super marché+une boulangerie moderne en utilisant la farine pour pâtisserie etc...
3) Construire un service de santé
4) Construire une école maternelle et primaire
5) Construire des logements gratuits pour expatriés à la retraite en échange de leurs participations gratuite dans leurs domaines respectives.
Ceci étant un projet dont j'y crois , j'invite toutes personnes intéressées à apporter une touche personnelle, sous la forme d'un conseil, une orientation et enfin une implication.
NB: projet à l'échelle nationale et internationale au niveau de l'emplois.
Mon slogan : être utile à la société de façon visible
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!^^
