Merci d'avance
bonjour,
je connai bien le senegal mais mieux la petite cote que dakar, j'y ai quand meme sejourné trois mois à plusieurs reprises alors je vais essayer de t'éclairer.Tout est bien moins cher qu'en france .Tu pourras avoir le satellite sans problemes pour les chaines tunisiennes.Quand à la moto je te la conseille pas ou alors t'as intérêt de faire gâffe car la conduite là-bas...beaucoup n'ont pas le permis..tu as des bus, des taxis pour uen bouchée de pain.Tu peux te louer les services d'un bon chauffeur pour peu d'argent et ce sera plus prudent.Tu feras trés vite des connaissances et les gens proposent spontanément leurs services pour gagner un peu d'argent.
Voilà bonne chance, c'est une population trés attachante et trés gentille.
Salut,
1/ les quartiers proches de la faculté et des hôpitaux où je passerai mes stages. Quartiers: Point E, Fann, Sacre-coeur 2/ Concernant le loyer, il faut compter combien pour louer un studio (meublé ou non) dans ces quartiers, y a t il des agences que je pourrai contacter dès maintenant. Pour ca environ 300 euros par mois je pense pour un tout meubler. As-tu deja des contacts d' agences? Sinon, je devais me rendre avec 2 amies a dakar l' ete dernier mais mes plans ayant change, elles y y sont alles a 2. On avait trouve une maison d' hotes par l' intermediaire d' une connaissance. Mes copines etaient plutot contentes de leur logement qui n' etait pas trop loin de la plage et du centre ville et ont payé dans les 15 euro par jour. Elles etaient plutot contentes de leur logement Si tu veux je pourrais leur demander les coordonnees des proprietaires. 3/ le cout de la vie ? j ai entendu parler qu il me faut entre 300 et 400 euros par mois sans le loyer. Tout depend de la facon dont tu vas vivre. Si tu comptes des sorties cine, plages et resto 1 fois par semaine (75 euros par mois), plus le cout de la nourriture si tu manges dehors tous le sjours (150 euros) ainsi que le transport jusqu' a la fac (environ 40 euros par mois) ca revient environ à 275 euros par mois. 4/ le transport ? j ai entendu parler que la meilleure solution pour se déplacer, c est d avoir un moto, si oui, combien ca coute environ ? Je ne me deplacais pas en moto a Dakar, mais il existe aussi les taxis (tu peux negocier le tarif de ton trajet envion 1700Fcfa (3 euros) pour aller de la banlieue Yoff ou sacre coeur au centre ville) ou la solution la plus economique, les cars rapides(bus locaux) pour moins de 200fcfa par trajet (40 centimes d' euros). 5/ Y a til des opérateurs internet, j ai vu sur internet qu il y a orange, y a til d autres ? Oui il y a la Sonatel qui propose des abonnements avec Sentoo. Tu pourras te renseigner sur place. 6/ y a til une possibilité de capter la chaine Tv de la Tunisie (sur Hotbird, arabsat ou Nilsat) Je ne suis pas sure, vu quee je ne vis plus a dakar, et que les fournisseurs changent constamment leur programmation. Mais il y a des chances pour que ca marche. Je pourrais toujours me renseigner aupres de mes contacts la-bas.
Voila, j' espere que j' ai pu t' etre utile !

Salut,
je vous remercie pour vos renseignements, je suis vraiement reconnaissant...
je suis intéressé par les coordonnees des propriétaires, en fait, je dois passer quelques jours à chercher un studio et à ce prix, je pense pas trouver mieux...
Concernant les agences, j ai contacté une par téléphone, et le responsable m a indiqué que ca sera mieux de venir sur place...Pour le prix, 300 euros le loyer c est cher pour moi, j espere trouver un studio moins cher...
Vous m avez parlé des sorties, est ce que les moyens de loisirs ainsi que les resto sont chers à dakar ?
Vous m avez parlé aussi de 150 euros pour manger ailleurs, en fait, je suis pas habitué à manger ailleurs, est ce que vous avez une idée si je peux trouver une femme qui vient pour faire le ménage et préparer à manger ?
Pour le transport, je pense que mes stages seront à l hopital Dantec, est ce que c est loin des quartiers que tu m as conseillé ?
Merci d 'avance
Merci d 'avance
salut,
tu peux avoir une "fatou" (bonne ) pour 2000 fcfa par jour soit 3 euros environ pour cuisine et ménage sans problèmes.
Pour les restos si tu manges local c'est pas cher du tout, pour 2000FCfa soit 2.50 euros tu auras un plat typique.
Tu vas te régaler avec le poisson qui côute rien ici (0.80 cent d'euro le kg de daurade) car c'est l'au la plus poissonneuse du monde (plus pour longtemps!).
Pour les loisirs, tout esty forcement moins cher...tu considères que le salaire de moyen est de 80 euros par mois et tu peux imaginer le prix des choses.
Voilà bonne continuation.

Concernant les agences, j ai contacté une par téléphone, et le responsable m a indiqué que ca sera mieux de venir sur place...Pour le prix, 300 euros le loyer c est cher pour moi, j espere trouver un studio moins cher... Je pense qu' a partir de 2 semaines leurs tarifs sont degressifs (15 euro la nuit mais 150 euros les 2 semaines et 250 euros le mois ou qq chose dans le genre) Ils pourront mieux te renseigner. Ca peut etre un bon plan, car toutes les charges sont inclus et tu peux commander ce que tu veux manger avec la cuisiniere de la famille et toutes les charges electricite, buanderie, ménage, eau sont comprises.
Vous m avez parlé des sorties, est ce que les moyens de loisirs ainsi que les resto sont chers à dakar ? Mes loisirs quand j' etais la-bas: plages (ALmadies ou tu peux contempler le coucher du soleil, manger des grillades de fruits de mer pour 500fcfa ou encore deguster pleins de trucs delicieux dans les restos avoisinant la plage), L' ile de Ngor (Avec une tres belle plage ou tu peux passer ta journee ou mem un week end pr pas cher, la traversee coute dans les 2000fcfa (3 euros) et t' as des auberges sympas et des restos. Tu n' as pas a sortir de Dakar pour t' y rendre); Cinema (IL n' y en a plus qu' un maintenant, LE PARIS), beaucoup de sorties entre amis aux fast foods branches comme les ambassades, LGM au point E ou encore la galette, la gondole, le snooker et Ali Baba et le boites tres animees (Dolce, Le Niani, Aldo) Vous m avez parlé aussi de 150 euros pour manger ailleurs, en fait, je suis pas habitué à manger ailleurs, est ce que vous avez une idée si je peux trouver une femme qui vient pour faire le ménage et préparer à manger ? Si tu cherches plus d' intimite et préfère un studio, c' est sur que tu pourras trouver sans probleme une menagere qui pourrait venir te preparer a manger et faire ton menage pour environ 70 euros par mois. Je pense que les gens de la maison d' hote pourrait t' aider a en trouver une. Pour le transport, je pense que mes stages seront à l hopital Dantec, est ce que c est loin des quartiers que tu m as conseillé ? LE Dantec estsitué au centre-ville. Tu peux toujours y chercher un studio mais les prix la-bas sont exhorbitants. Sinon le Point E ou Sacre-coeur, tu peux t' y rendre en bus, car rapide ou meme ''taxi clando'' pour pas cher et environ 30 min de trajet maximum. (A moins que la situation ait changé entre-temps :-)
Voili voilou ! Bonne chance

Salut,
En fait j' ai passé la majeur partie de am petite vie au sénégal :-) (environ 17 ans)
Mes parents y étaient affectés pour le boulot et j' ai quitté pour rentrer en france faire l' université. J' ai visité beaucoup de pays, canada, guinee, mali, burkina, afrique du sud, cote d' ivoire etc, mais je dois dire que c' est le pays qui m' a le plus marqué. (Peut etre aussi parce que c' est la que j' ai le plus duré) Les gens sont tres sympas et serviables, le climat parfait, l' ambiance est terrible, tu te feras tres vite des connaissances et tu ne seras pas traité comme un étranger. Je pourrais toujours te recommander des bons coins a voir la bas et meme des connaissances qui sont encore la bas si ca te dis. Je sais aussi que tu vas adorer les plages de dakar et les boites.

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 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’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! 🙂

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! ☺️

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.
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! :)
