Nous sommes une classe de 22 pour un voyage d'étude au Mexique . Etant en licence de manager en grande distribution nous aimerions savoir si il y a des grandes surfaces du style de champion ( ou autre), des parcs animaliers et des endroits ou il ya des productions végétales ( horticulture...). Notre formation comprend 3 options (alimentaire, jardinerie et animalerie) et nous devons réaliser des visites pour les 3. Nous avons cherché sur internet mais nous ne trouvons rien, par ailleurs nous attendons une réponse de l'ambassade.
Merci a ceux qui connaissent et qui peuvent nous aider.
😛
J'espere que c'est pas trop tard... Sur la région de Puebla (2h de Mexico) vous avez au niveau animalier le AFrican Safari.. C'est un zoo sur l'afrique ou les animaux sont en liberté. POur ce qui est des grandes chaines de production, il y a carrefour ou le fameux OXXO (superette ouverte 24/24 7j/7). Oxxo est nationale (dans le sens ou vous en trouverez partout... je coris que le PDG est etasunien). Pour la grande consommation... Je pense que ca doit etre tout, du moins, c tout ce que je connais. Pour les centres animaliers, voyez dans le sud, la foret luxuriante du Chiapas doit abriter des réserves (en plus des narcotrafiquant). Baja california est réputée pour ses baleines... Pour trouvez les infos, c'est simples, vous tapez sur Google le nom de l'état que vous visez... vous aurez le site du siège administratif de l'état.
Bon courage, et hesitez pas, je connais tres bien l'Etat de Puebla
pourrais tu me parler un peu de puebla stp? je pars la bas ds 1mois et jaimerais avoir l'avis de klk1 ki connait. c grand? c dangereux? sais tu sil y a des ecoles (pr perfectionner mon espagnol) pas trop cheres?
😎 Puebla est une ville magnifique... Pour ce qui est de la sécurité, j'ai plus peur dans certaines villes en France que là bas. Tu peux sans problemes te promener seule jsuqu'à 20h, voire 21h quand tu commenceras a connaître.. apres, bien evidement, mieux vaut être plusieurs, mais tu ne risqueras rien. Le seul "risques" c'est les MACHOS (dans le sens, les mâles).. il suffit que tu sois un peu mince et un peu blanche de peau, et les altercations des souk tunisiens te sembleront un havre de paix... Ils te sifflent, ils t'appelent, certains te suivront un petit bout de chemin.. solution: ignore (ne réponds surtout pas par un sourire), et si tu as peur, entre dans un magasin, style de rien. Mais si mes premieres fois je faisais tres attention à ma tenue, je m'habille maintenant au Mexique comme en France (bien evidement, je parle exclusivement de Puebla et du centre ville, que tu peux étaler de la 11 sur al centro gastronomico. Pour les petits villages, nombril couvert et mi cuisses couvertes sont de rigueur.) Pour le centre, pas besoin d'éviter les marques.. Mais évite quand meme le tape à l'oeil (genre la caméra qui pend autour du coup, le portefeuille dans la poche, et les gros bijoux.. mais apres tout, c'est partout pareil).. Honnetement, ce n'est pas du suicide, il n'y a PRATIQUEMENT aucun danger dans Puebla. Saches que les rues sont tres grandes, et les mexicains ont une grande sensibilité à ta psychologie: traduction, si des les premiers metres dans un quartier, tu ne te sens pas à l'aise, plutot que de passer tout le trajet à trembler et donc à attirer les regards, fais demi tour, et trouve un axe plus tranquille. Le seul quartier en centre que je te conseillerai d'éviter tant que tu n'es pas à l'aise avec le regard et que tu n'attires plus l'attention, c'est la colonia San francisco, sur l'est du centro gastronomico... Il est réputé pour etre le repere des bandits dès 18h... Mais j'y passe régulièrement désormais, et je ne me suis jamais fait piquer quoique ce soit. La ville est très grande. Pas autant que Mexico D.F mais quand meme.. hors proportions françaises. Quand tu prends le taxi, demande toujours le prix avant de monter, et d'une voix ferme. La course de jour ne doit pas dépasser les 70 pesos, si tu sors du centre (si tu vas dans les quartiers périphériques.. pas du tout touristiques, mais habitables). Pour rester dans le centre, disons entre 20 et 50 pesos...(les jours de pluie, les prix monteront forcement...) Pour la nuit, ajoute entre 20 et 30 pesos au prix de la course. Si tu n'oses pas le faire, tu te retrouveras comme moi à payer 100 pesos un trajet qui n'en vaut que 30.... au bout d'un certains temps, ca revient cher. Ne crains rien pour les taxi, ils sont sympas, et tu as tres peu de chance de te faire enlever. Par contre, il y a beaucoup de personne qui te proposes de tour touristiques dans la rue. N'acceptes que si ils ont un stand avec des affiches et un systeme de réservation des places.
AH.. précises régulierement aussi "no soy gringa, soy francesa".. la relation sera de suite plus amicale.. Le choc est frappant.
Pour l'école, je ne peux pas te renseigner. Il y a bien l'université autonome de Puebla, en plein centre ville, mais je ne connais ni les cours, ni les prix...
Si tu n'as pas de visites ou de tour prévu, je peux te donner quelques conseils. Le centre gastronomique est excellent... C'est 5 ou 6 restau qui se sont mis en association pour ne faire que les spécialités mexicaines, et c'est aux prix mexicains. "La abuelita" est tout simplement un petit bijoux, mais réservé aux petites sorties (c'est pas un grand restau..c'est plus pour manger dans un coin sympa quand t'es en centre ville).. en plus, si tu y vas de ma part.. tu auras le droit à un petit speech du patron (un ami) qui te raconteras l'histoire du resto... bref, un regal... Pour les hors puebla, les sites sur internet sont tres bien fait. Si tu as le temps et l'argent, ne manque pas Cuetzalan... à 4 ou 5 heures de bus, c merveilleux.l'office du tourisme, derriere la cathédrale est tres bien fait.
Il y a de nombreuses écoles de langues à Puebla ainsi que des universités et instituts privés, tu devrais trouver sans problème. Prend juste une semaine pour chercher et comparer les prix. Sinon, je confirme, Puebla est une ville agréable à vivre, de plus sa situation te permet de te rendre en peu de temps à DF et sur la côte du Golfe.
En centre, en plus de ce qui a été mentionné, tu as tous les dimanches (si ça n'a pas changé), les antiquaires sur la place de los sapos, de plus cette place regorge de petits bars sympas (dans les environs aussi) pour sortir le soir ou prendre l'apéro. en fin d'après midi sur une terrasse. C'est une ville universitaire, jeune. Tu y feras de chouettes rencontres à coup sûr.
A proximité de Puebla, tu as aussi la petite ville de Cholula qui est sympa.
Merci bcp a toi et a Chachapoya pr ts ces renseignements tres complets. ca m'aide bcp et ca va rassurer mes parents ki ont un peu peur de me laisser partir la bas.
Tu es encore au Mexique en ce moment? Tu vis la bas?
Jaimerais savoir aussi le tps kil fait en ce moment.
Chachapoya, connaitrais tu des ecoles pas cheres, avc horaires flexibles et ou on peut s'inscrire qd on le desire? (je sais c bcp demander 😛 ms je ne v rester ke 3 mois et jaimerais pvr visiter un peu).

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 17.
I'd like to find a site that offers a total immersion with a family between Vancouver and Calgary for 4 weeks this summer. Not specifically with a teacher at home because it's very expensive on the sites I've already checked, nor with classes at a school or activities with other foreigners since the immersion isn't enough.
Thanks for your help.
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! 😄
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! :)
