Bonjour,
nous partons nous installer à Sibiu début 2008 avec mon ami et nous recherchons un maximum d´informations sur cette ville pour faciliter notre installation en Roumanie. Nous débutons l´aprentissage de la langue début juin et tout contact sur place est le bienvenu (nous parlons déjà francais, allemand et anglais) !!! Nous recherchons également une maison où nous pourrons au mieux profiter de nos années au pied des Carpathes. Si vous connaissez des agences immobilières sérieuses nous sommes preneurs ! Merci beaucoup pour votre aide !

Bonjour!
Tout d'abord je voulais vous dire que vous n'allez surement pas être déçus par Sibiu : c'est une ville MAGNIFIQUE!! Elle est en complète et totale rénovation depuis plusieurs mois, d'où sa splendeur retrouvée (j'essaierai de mettre des photos à l'occasion). Fondée par des colons saxons au 13e siècle, elle comprend grosso modo la Grande place (où se situent entre autres la-magnifique-mairie) et la petite place qui est aussi entourée de beaux batiments. L'ensemble de la ville est constituée de rues anciennes, dont beaucoup datent du moyen-âge, et dans certaines desquelles se trouvent de charmantes arrières-cours en pleine rénovation. D'ailleurs Sibiu sera peut être bientôt classée à l'UNESCO. De toute façon les Carpates et la Transylvanie sont des endroits magnifiques. Pour ce qui est des autres renseignements, le site interdit de faire de la publicité. Par contre vous pouvez me communiquer votre adresse mail et je pourrai alors vous envoyer des infos.

Voila donc quelques photos de Sibiu trouvées sur internet. La première est prise sur la grande place : à gauche la (splendide) mairie, à droite l'église romano-catholique dont le passage sous la tour mène à la petite place. La deuxième photo justement montre un très beau batiment, situé à proximité de la petite place. La troisième montre une petite rue typique de Sibiu comme il y en a tant d'autres. Au fond une église catholique dans laquelle se situe une chapelle où se trouvent les tombeaux de personnes fondatrices de la ville.
Bonjour,
Je suis née à Sibiu, et je vis actuelement en France, à Toulouse. Je vais regulierement dans ma ville d'origine, ou je garde de la famille. Ecrivez-moi, je vous donnerai mon telephonne. Je peux vous renseigner......avec les yeux d'une francaise et d'une roumaine en meme temps........sur ce qui va etre facile et ce qui le sera moins. Dans tous les cas vous ne serez pas deçu globalement, c'est une des villes les plus ouvertes de la Roumanie, et beaucoup de gens parlent allemand, certains ont des origines allemandes et parfois hongroises. Les orthodoxes, catholiques et protestants, y vivent en harmonie. Sibiu est tres turistique, et a un niveau de vie et d'amenagement de la ville assez proche des pays de l'UE. De plus elle a ete magnifiquement renovée cette année (capitale culturele de l'europe 2007, nombreuses animations). Je vous conseille d'y aller une petite semaine, si ce n'est pas deja fait. (Il y a moyen d'atterir directement à Sibiu, en evitant le passage par la capitale). A bientôt Marie Ioana

Je pars le 10 novembre pour 5 jours à Sibiu. Je suis amateurs de photos, Konica/Minolta Dynax 5D avec lentille speciale 18-200mm, lourde et pas facile à cacher. Est-ce que c'est risqué? Comme alternative, je pourrais prendre mon Sony Cybershot qui est beaucoup plus compact et moins conspicueuse. Quelle est votre conseils? J'ai beaucoup aimeé vos 3 photos.
Bonjour
N'étant pas spécialiste en photo je ne peux pas trop vous conseiller quant au choix en soit de tel ou tel appareil. Par contre si votre choix relève de critères de sécurité, ne vous inquiétez pas: la Roumanie, contrairement à ce qui est galvaudé en Occident, est peut-être le pays le plus sûr d'Europe (bien plus que la France en tout cas!). Il faut cependant vous méfier de tout ce qui est "rapines" qui constituent l'essentiel de la "délinquance" roumaine (vol à la tire, petite arnaque...etc). Si vous allez à l'hôtel ou dans une maison d'hôtes vous pouvez demander à laisser votre appareil à l'accueil. Au final soyez vigilant mais ne vous inquiétez pas la Roumanie est un pays paisible, unique par son atmosphère que les Roumains arrivent toujours à conserver. Sibiu est une ville magnifique mais si vous avez le temps n'hésitez pas à voyager dans le reste du pays, je ne pense pas que vous serez déçu!

Bonsoir,
merci de votre avis d'expert. Ma réponse est tardive, mais je tiens à vous confirmer: J'ai trouvé mes craintes complètement infondées. Sibiu était encore en plein féstiviées capitale culturelle 2007, l'acceuil fut chalereus partout. Pas de problèmes linguistiques, l'Anglais est parlé surtout par les jeunes, mais on trouve très souvent aussi des jeunes qui parlent l'Allemand et le Français. Le voyage en voiture de location ne pose pas de problème. La ville de Sighisoara est fantastique, en plein rénovation pour devenir un bijou historique dans peu de temps. J'y retournerai, mais entre temps je veux découvrir les 2 pays de l'UE que je ne connais pas encore: l'Estonie et la Lituanie.
Quelques photos: la première fait au musée Brukenthal. Puis en route - usine en déclin. Volume photos trop grand pour être envoyé.
Bonsoir,
je n'étais pas retourné sur le site depuis... plus d'un an déjà !! La grossesse et la naissance de notre petit garcon... Je tiens tout de même à vous remercier pour votre message. Nous sommes installés depuis avril 2008 à Sibiu et apprécions pleinement cette ville très accueillante et très vivante. Nous sommes également impatients de pouvoir découvrir les alentours et le reste de la Roumanie dès que mon ami aura un peu de temps. Nous nous sommes déjà rendu dans le village voisin de Cisnadiora, Sighisoara, et un petit tour dans les Carpates mais le temps n'était vraiment pas terrible...
Je vous laisse mon adresse mail, si vous avez des bons plans... grados_amelie@yahoo.fr
Encore merci et peut-être à bientot Amélie, Simon et Mathis

Bonjour !
Je vois que ce message date de quelques années...
Je confirme qu'il y a des arrières cours tout à fait magiques à Sibiu... Nous avons passé une après-midi à pousser les portes cochères et à faire des photos (discrètement...). Nous étions sous le charme... De plus, chacune est très différente, a son propre caractère. Si cela vous intéresse de voir mes photos, voici l'article sur mon blog : Les trésors cachés de Sibiu
Sinon je ne connais pas la ville plus que ça, mais ces cours m'ont complètement séduite ! Voilà, À bientôt :)

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

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.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

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.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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...

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’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?

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?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
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! :)
