Bonjour à tous!
Ma femme, mes quatre enfants et moi avons décidés d'aller vivre sur l'île de la Réunion. Ma carrière de pompier de paris m'en n’empêchais jusqu’à aujourd'hui. Ma femme est kinésithérapeute et a une proposition d'embauche à l'hôpital Le tampon, donc le soucis vient plutôt de moi concernant ma reconversion!
Plusieurs questions que je me pose:
Avec combien peut on vivre correctement sur l'île (pas de restau, pas de yaourt, pas de nutella... on mangera local et vivront de même, carry, rougail...lol)? Y a til du boulot dans la sécurité incendie? Ambulancier? Même si en attendant je pense trouver des petits boulots (il suffit de se retirer les doigts du C... lol). Le niveau scolaire et les infrastructures sont elles que dans certaines villes, ou peut importe la ville, on peut trouver primaire et collège? La location est elle chère sur Le Tampon, st louis, st leu, st joseph, à combien est le prix du M2 dans ces villes à l'achat?? Doit on chauffer en hiver dans ces villes? Quelle ville vous me conseillez pour une famille de 4 enfants sachant que ma femme travaillera sur le tampon?
Quel type de construction dois je privilégié pour l'achat d'une maison (en dure obligatoire? ou les autres peuvent suffir)?
Merci beaucoup à tous les gens qui auront le courage de me lire et surtout de me répondre!

Bonjour,
Au niveau boulot, il y a des opportunités pour les infirmières libérales, les kinés , les comptables.Donc pour votre femme, pas de problèmes à priori. Si vous avez une formation d'ambulancier il y a également de la demande. Pour les autres emplois c'est vraiment trés difficile d'autant plus que la préférence va trés nettement à l'embauche créole. Le droit du travail n'est pas bien respecté, vous risquez de travailler beaucoup pour un tout petit salaire, en cdd. Faîtes bien attention à votre contrat de travail. Et si vous travaillez sans contrat vous risquez fort de ne pas être payé. Si vous avez des compétences, vous ferez peur aux créoles qui se méfieront de vous de leur piquer le job: on ne vous fera pas de cadeaux ( ça ne sera pas franc, faîtes attention) que ce soit dans le privé et encore moins le public. Les métros sont de moins en moins les bienvenus (c'est pire chez les martiniquais...). Attention aussi aux démarches administratives, si vous devez avoir une autorisation, un agrément, pour exercer une activité vous aurez du mal à l'avoir, ce sera long, on vous montrera de la mauvaise volonté. Je connais de plus en plus de zoreilles qui ont beaucoup de mal à vivre à la Réunion (presque clodo...), et créer sa boîte n'est pas évidemment quand on est zorey. Vous serez vite écarté par ceux qui détiennent les pouvoirs politiques et économiques si vous avez un projet intéressant. Refléchissez bien car la déception risque d'être importante. Les boîtes pour avoir la paix sociale évitent d'embaucher des zoreys m^me s'ils sont trés qualifiés.La vie sociale n'est pas au mieux actuellement à La Réunion. Pour le logement, c'est assez cher, comptez environ entre 800 et 1000 € par mois au tampon, et ne dépassez pas le 12 éme, car au dessus l'hiver est froid, passé 600 m d'altitude. Si vous avez une vie culturelle et sociale active en métropôle, vous risquez de souffrir ici, il faut beaucoup de temps, de patience et d'abnégation pour vivre à la REUNION. Vous risquez de vous ennuyer. Maintenant si vous aimez les activités nature, vous aurez largement de quoi faire (et là vous riquez de vous éclater). Pour vivre une famille de 4 personnes en ayant un loyer à payer, en mangeant local (fini les fromages, la charcuterie...), si vous apportez meubles et voitures, compter au minimum 2500 € par mois, vous vivrez trés simplement pas plus et ne comptez pas rentrer chaque année en métropôle. Faîtes bien attention à la décision que vous allez prendre, vos enfants risquent aussi d'avoir du mal à s'adapter (les gamins parlent créoles entre eux et c'est pas facile de les comprendre) et prévoyez une issue de secours en métropôle si ça se passe mal au bout d'un ou 2 ans. Je ne vous présente pas la Réunion des cartes postales, qui n'existe pas d'ailleurs, mais la Réunion où je vis tous les jours (moi zorey) depuis 2 ans avec ma femme créole. Il y a 10 ans c'était beaucoup plus facile pour un zorey, maintenant c'est vraiment chaud. Enfin faîtes attention de ne pas vous retrouver dans une prison dorée. Bien cordialement à vous.

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.

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 there,
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.

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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

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, 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
