J'ai recu une offre d'emploi pour La Paz: gestion d'une agence de voyage payé 1000 dollars par mois, billet d'avion payé...J'ai tres envie d'y aller, je connais la ville.
Mais j'aimerais quand meme avoir vos avis, savoir ce que vous feriez, si c'est facile de se loger, d'y vivre, si je vivrez tres bien avec ce salaire...
Salut Julien,
Sachant que le salaire moyen d'un travailleur bolivien tourne autour de 60 euros/mois tu vivras scandaleusement bien!
A toi de voir... moi je ne partirai pas pour une raison simple: je serai trop mal à l'aise de vivre en pacha dans un pays où la pauvreté est criante à chaque coin de rue.
D'autant plus qu'ils ont des gestionnaires qui seraient ravis d'avoir le job... La vraie question est: pourquoi veulent-ils recruter un gringo? c'est une agence française?
Enfin, bref, tous ces questionnements ne peuvent être que très personnels... mais concernant ta question sur le niveau de vie, tu n'as aucun soucis à te faire!

L'un d'eux dit aux autres: "ne soyons pas inquiets, le manche est des nôtres". D'après Pierre Marchand.
oui merci pour ta réponse. Je suis bien d'accord avec toi mais est ce que c'est pour ca que je dois passer a coté d'une telle offre, franchement je ne crois pas. Je ne pensais pas qu'ils gagnaient que ca, je pensais que le salaire moyen tournait autour des 200 dollars par mois...
Y a t'il d'autres avis sur la questions, ca m'interesse.
Il y a aussi un quartier résidenciel à La Paz. Les écarts entre les nantis et les autres sont énormes.
Il y a des cinémas impeccables, des restau chers, des cafés huppés. Et aussi une classe socilae qui adore se retrouver dans certains cafés pour discuter politique ou manger des patisseries.
Si tu veux un petit appart correct, tu vas payer dans les 250 $. Tu peux aussi y vivre avec un tout petit budget, dans des hotels à 3$, nickels, en cherchant un peu.
Je te conseille juste de parler español, sinon, tu vas t'ennuyer.
La mauvaise conscience n'a jamais aidé personne. Si tu veux te rendre utile, sur place, tu sauras quoi faire. Les boliviens sont touchants, bavards, ils aiment beaucoup faire des blagues, et si tu parles bien leur langue, ils seront étonnés et te raconteront pleins de trucs... parfois invraissemblables.
La Paz est fascinante.
Vas-y.
Merci bien Lula. Je connais un peu La Paz pour y avoir été cet été 3 jours pendant un stage de 6 mois que j'ai fais au Pérou. Donc l'espagnol c'est pas un souci. A 250 Dollars donc ya moyens d'avoir un appart bien??C'est a dire? C'est dans des quartiers au centre ville ou u peu eloignés?
Tout dépend de quel centre on parle…
Tu as pu t’apercevoir que La Paz s’étage depuis El Alto jusqu’à la zona sur. Il existe donc plusieurs centres, et le centre « central » s’étale également… du coup, il est difficile de dire ce qui est central ou pas… ça dépend où tu situes ton centre !
Mais disons que tu pourras sans trop de problèmes t’installer dans le quartier de Sopocachi (quartier très prisé des expats). Il y a café, bar, resto, boîte, supérette… je ne connais pas le prix actuel d’une location à La Paz, mais à titre comparatif je sais qu'une vaste maison avec jardin se loue aujourd’hui à Sucre 400 $.
p.s : je suis d’accord avec Lula, la mauvaise conscience n’a probablement jamais aidé personne. En revanche, la conscience des choses me semblent être un préalable nécessaire à un emménagement là-bas… (sinon la menace de devenir un expat dans sa bulle plane…)
Et c’est vrai, si tu veux te rendre utile, il y aura de quoi faire !

Quelle opportunité! Je foncerai à ta place...
Ce qui m'ammene a te demander si il n'y a pas un autre poste dans ton agence pour un gringo.
Je parle l'Espagnol mais la culture sud américaine m'interesse + que l'Espagne en elle même.
Tu auras compris que si je suis ici c'est que j'ai le projet de m'expatrier.
Mon message est sérieux n'hésites pas à me répondre.
Merci d'avance, bonne continuation à toi!
Ok merci beaucoup a vous pour ces infos meme si j'aimerais en savoir plus. Mass non je n'ai pas d'info sur d'eventuelles offres dans cette agence. Mais je sais qu'en amerique du sur, si tu cherches un peu tu peux trouver.
Pour répondre à vos réponses, j'ai tout a fait conscience de la misere et des problemes sociaux qui gangrennent ce continent. j'ai passé 6 mois au Pérou, j'ai bien vu tout ca et j'en ai totalement conscience. Alors permettez moi de penser un peu à mon avenir professionnelle avant de penser a tous ces gens qui souffrent.
Un cdi en Bolivie, ca m'etonnerait que ca existe tant le bordel est grand dans ce pays....en fait j'ai envoyé plein de CV en France parceque je ne comptait pas y retourner. Puis j'en ai envoyé un la bas sans le vouloir et on m'a rappelé 3 semaines apres...Mais c'est comme pour trouver un stage, pas besoin d'attendre les offres, il faut juste chercher partout et ca vient je pense en général. La c'est un coup de cul mais par exemple pour trouver un stage au Perou, ca m'a pris 3 semaines, 1 mois, pas plus. Suffit de chercher.
salut, je suis bolivien et j aime trop ce pays car c est ma patrie et parce que les gens sont super.
je te conseille d habiter dans la zona sur car (deja il fais plus chaud) et c'est un quartier residentiel.
pour ton salaire tu auras assez méme trop!!!
j espére que tu as pris le bon choix car... si non tu le regreteras toute ta vie!!
tu seras tellement bien la bas que tu voudras y rester pour toujour.😛
+ ao - tu payeras 300$ dans le quartier de los pinos, achumani, cota cota...
le bon de ces quartiers c 'est plus sure que dans le centre, il y a des magazins chics etc . c'est un peu comme un quartier bourgois.
mais tout dépend de ou tu travailles!!!!!
dans quel endroit dans le centre ville?
et enfet tu travailles pas pour tierra andina?
slt

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 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,
