Bonjour a toutes et a tous,
je pars fin janvier pour la Martinique afin d' y travailler, j' ai donc besoin de vos lumières pour preparer au mieux mon voyage dans un premier temps.
Pouvez-vous me dire si j' ai besoin d' un billet aller-retour pour venir sur l' île car sur certains sites on dit que oui et d' autres le contraire alors.... Mais vu que c' est la 'France', je pense qu' un aller suffit mais je voudrais en etre sûr, merci.
J' aurai plein d' autres questions a vous poser et reste a l' ecoute de tous vos conseils😉, merci beaucoup.
TIM.
« Qui vit voit beaucoup, qui voyage voit davantage. »
J'espère que tu t'y plairas. Tu y pars en famille ? Tu as déjà ton logement ? Pour ma part, j'y ai travaillé deux années chez Sodiva Citroen au Lamentin.
Sainte Marie c'est peu excentré... pas facile de trouver sur ce secteur. Bon courage et bonne chance tout de même !
oui c vrai que c pas l' endroit le mieux situe peut etre mais j' ai deja pris des contacts a la Trinité qui n' est pas loin et puis j' irai ou le travail sera, je ne suis pas bloqué a Sainte-Marie, j' y serai les premiers temps c tout.
J'espere que tout se passera bien🙂.
« Qui vit voit beaucoup, qui voyage voit davantage. »
De toutes façons, il n'y a que deux possibilités : soit tu trouves et c'est tant mieux soit tu ne trouves pas et tu pourras te dire que tu as essayé tout en faisant un beau voyage.
Pour ce type de boulot, il vaut peut-être mieux chercher là où il y a des métros.

Bonjour TIM34,
J'ai personnellement vécu cinq ans à la Martinique, tu as beaucoup de chance d'y aller.
Un billet aller simple te suffit d'autant qu'on trouve des billets moins chers sur place, notamment l'été ( congés bonifiés, les avions arrivent bondés et repartent presque à vide).
Au départ tu seras un peu perdu, mais bien vite tu verras que les Martiniquais sont très gentils. Tu souffriras un peu de la chaleur durant les premiers mois, essaye de t'installer sur la côte atlantique, il y fait moins chaud.
Une fois acclimaté, tu verras c'est le paradis. Alors bon courage, si tu veux d'autres renseignements n'hésite pas.
Avant de me critiquer essaie de comprendre ce que j'ai vécu...
Bonjour🙂
j'ai lu les réponses que l'on t'as donné, et je suis d'accord avec tous mais je vais te mettre mo opinion
Pour le billet d'avion souvent un aller simple coute bien plus cher qu'un aller/retour; tu peux aussi prendre un package avion+ hôtel pour une semaine qui coute mon cher qu'un aller simple et tu perds ton retour sans rien perdre vraiment
si tu connais et sais faire sur les enchère de Air France ou de Nouvelles frontières tu peux obtenir un billet très bon marché mais surtout enchéri qu'une fois et taches de lancer ton offre de suite. Surtout ne ré_enchéri pas.
Je ne veux pas te décourager mais il y a beaucoup de chômage ici mais il y a aussi beaucoup de "fainéants" et avec les lois françaises on preferre recevoir les aides de l'état que travailler!! c'est comme en Métropole. Dans ton secteur cela te seras dur mais si tu es bon et acharné tu trouveras ou dans un autre domaine.
Je peux t'aider dans beaucoup de domaine aussi n'hésites pas de à contacter en MP Bonne chance, plis foss annie

Idéalement, pour ton mari, il faudrait que tu cherches au nord de FDF, du côté de Schoelcher... sinon, le matin, ton mari mettra plus d'une heure pour aller bosser. Les bouchons au sud du Lamentin sont terribles. Je vis près de Paris mais les bouchons les plus importants que j'ai connu étaient au sud du Lamentin.
Je vivais à Rivière Salée et travaillais au Lamentin... j'ai regretté d'avoir choisi le sud plutôt que le nord pour m'y installer. Par ailleurs, il y a plus de choix d'écoles à Schoelcher qu'aux Trois Ilets.

Bonjour Pascal,
Ne penses pas que je t'ai oublié mais j'ai été débordée, aussi je te prie d'accepter mes excuses pour te répondre si tard.
Tu sais moi je ne peux que te donner le conseil suivants: venir sur place
et une fois la tu pourras mieux choisir un hébergement selon ton lieu de travail
Schoelcher est une ville agréable, dortoir et où il y a la seule Université de l'ile et beaucoup de lycée, college, lycée technique, etc........
Ne pense pas à Fort de France, ce n'est pas un endroit pour vivre.
Contactes moi su mon mel privé et je pourrai te donner plein d'informations et de bon plan, pour la voiture aussi.
Au plaisir de te lire puis de te connaître.
Vous avez des professions où il es facil de trouver du travail.
Hablo Espagnol y unos cuantos idiomas màs.
Hasta pronto
Un cordial saludo
Annie

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.

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 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.

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! :)
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

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
