Donc t'as 18 ans et du Québec et ton "amoureux" cubain habite dans son pays.
Petite question, il y en a combien qui sont dans la même situation que toi ? Crois-tu qu'il ne fricote pas avec d'autres touristes (ah ce que j'aimerais être cubain à l'occasion !) ?
Simple interrogation pour tu y réfléchisses.
J'ai soif de voyage, vers quelle oasis me diriger ?
Combien de voyages as-tu fait à Cuba dans un tout-compris? As-tu eue la chance d'échanger avec les cubains sur leurs conditions de vie? Est-ce que tu sais qu'ils reçoivent environ 10 à 15 pesos convertibles par mois? Comment crois-tu vivre de cette façon?
As-tu déjà vu des danseurs/euses ou des animateurs/trices d'autres nationalités travailler dans un hôtel cubain? Moi, j'ai fait 6 voyages à Cuba au cours des dernières années et je n'ai jamais vu cela. De plus, Cayo Guillermo est une île ou les cubains n'ont pas accès et il n'y a aucune place pour y demeurer...
Je sais que l'amour rend aveugle mais il s'agit tout simplement de rester deux semaines sur le même resort pour voir que la 2e semaine, on est vite remplacée....
Je ne veux pas te faire de mal, seulement t'en éviter... En attendant, tu peux voyager et y retourner et ce seront de beaux souvenirs mais penser à faire sa vie avec un cubain alors que tu ne peux prétendre le connaître, c'est ce qu'on appelle mettre la charrue avant les boeufs...
Rien ne t'empêche de vibrer au rythme de tes émotions à chaque voyage... Le temps te donnera la réponse...

Tu n'as que 18 ans... et toutes ta vie devant toi...
Réfléchis bien. 😐
Réfléchis bien. 😐
j ai une jeune consœur de travail qui s est fait faire la même proposition par un soi disant amoureux.
Si tu parles anlgais et espagnol tu peux toujours tenter ta chance pour être représente pour un tour opérateur du Québec (ex. Tour-Mont-Royal, Nolitour, Transat, Air canada...) Tu pourras y demeurer 6 mois mais c'est beaucoup de travail) Bonne chance et ça ne sera pas facile.

Bonjour jeune Alexa,
Puisque tu as un amoureux à Cuba, le mieux est tout de même de lui demander de se renseigner, non ?
Il est sur place, parle la langue et est sûrement très motivé pour que tu puisses le rejoindre.
Si tu étais ma fille, je ne te laisserais pas partir si jeune !! Mais puisque ce n'est pas le cas, je te dirai seulement que Cuba est un pays magnifique et la population très sympathique. Il y existe encore cette solidarité que l'on ne trouve que dans quelques pays, lorsque les gens ont besoin les uns des autres, et qu'ils ont en même temps, quelque chose à partager.
Bonne chance !

Salut Alexa,
Je viens de lire toutes les réponses que tu as reçu à date !!! C'est assez pour péter une balloune hein ? Je suis Québécoise et mariée à une Cubain. J'ai eu la chance de tomber sur un bon gars, nous avons près de 50 ans tous les 2, c'est sûr que c'est différent ! Les gens vont te faire plein de commentaires négatifs, prépare toi à livrer la guerre ! C'est vrai que tu es jeune, mais le seul conseil que je peux te donner, ne te maries pas tout de suite, si tu peux aller travailler comme représentante à destination pour un grossiste, et surtout apprendre à connaître ton amoureux, rencontrer sa famille, ses amis, ses habitudes de vie ! Est il de ton âge ? A-t-il des enfants ? tu dois tout savoir ! Si tu ne peux pas aller travailler là, ben tu devras communiquer avec lui le plus longtemps possible, soit par email s'il a accès à internet, par message texte sur un cell, par téléphone (cà coute cher) et y aller le plus souvent possible. Crois en ton rêve mais gardes les 2 pieds sur terre ! C'est pour ton bien que je te dis cà !
Cà existe des couples qui marchent en Québécoises et Cubains, j'en suis la preuve vivante, mais ce n'est pas de tout repos, cà prends beaucoup d'amour, du respect et de la patience !
Bonne chance et si tu veux m'écrire, n'hésites pas !

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,

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

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia.

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!

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! 🥺🏻

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! :)
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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune
