Bonjour à tous!
J'aimerai partir (seule) cet été en République dominicaine et comme j'adore la salsa et le mérengué j'aimerai en profiter pour suivre des cours de danse, cela me permettrait de connaître plus facilement des gens sur place.
Je suis déjà des cours ici, en Bretagne, et je suis déjà allée à Cuba et à Boca chica il y a plusieurs années.
Quelqu'un connait-il des séjours de ce genre?
Hola!
Je t´ai répondu en privé😉.
Salut,

Bonjour Lolo,
Je viens de m'inscrire sur ce forum et ai vu votre message. Vous avez probablement prévu déjà votre voyage mais j'aimerais quand meme vous donner quelques infos. Je fais partie d'une école de danse située à Las Terrenas, au nord de l'île. La péninsule de Samana (où se trouve Las Terrenas) est à mon avis la région la plus riche en authenticité, beauté des paysages et en émotions. Bref; si vous voulez danser et découvrir une vraie Rép. Dom, je vous conseille cet endroit. J'y vis depuis 8 ans et ai toujours autant de plaisir à y être. Notre école Salsa Caribe organise des séjours (hôtel + stage de danse). Si vous êtes interressée, contactez-moi et je vous donnerai toutes les informations.
ps: Je vois que vous vivez dans le morbihan. Moi et mon partenaire de danse (Pipo, directeur de l'école de danse) sommes actuellement en Bretagne, près de Redon. Ou prenez-vous vos cours de danse?
A bientôt,

Bonjour,
Je viens de lire ton message(on peut se tutoyer, non?): en effet j'ai déjà réservé mon voyage: je serai à l'hôtel Aligio du 10 au 24 juillet.
J'ai eu un contact par le net avec Patricia (grâce au forum, par l'intermédiaire de Pablo), une française qui vit à Las Terrenas et qui a des contacts avec une école de danse de Las Terrena, peut-être la connais-tu?, je devrais pouvoir suivre des cours avec des copains à elle.
Dans tous les cas je garde contact et si tu es d'accord je passerai te voir à mon arrivée en RD, car j'ai vraiment envie de connaître des gens locaux et de partager mon plaisir de la danse avec des Dominicains.
NB: je vis à Lanester et je suis les cours de danse à Lorient depuis le mois de septembre (association Salsalegria, tu connais?)et toi tu es en Bretagne pour combien de temps?
Je te laisse mon adresse e-mail pour me répondre: vergriete.laurence@cegetel.net
Bisous et à bientôt j'espère.
Laurence
Un peu tard, mais pour info, des stages de danses caribéennes en République Dominicaine sont proposés toute l'année via l'association Aliore, les ateliers autour du monde. Ce stage est présenté à la page : http://www.aliore.org/fr/act.sejourdominique.htm
Ambiance garantie !

bonjour,
je sais que le message commence vraiment à dater 🤪, mais pour en avoir le coeur net, j'ai achetée le guide du routard, pas de très grande info sur les écoles de danses. Alors voilà, je m'appelle Caroline, bien que débutante, je suis une férue de Salsa et de Batchata, j'aimerai trouver un séjour de danse intensif, mais je ne parle pas un mot d'espagnol donc la barrière de la langue me fait très peur, et puis je suis tombée sur ce forum, ce qui est exactement ce que je recherche. Nous serons 3, mes parents et moi, mes parents ne sont pas intéressés par le stage de danse mais moi je viens à 90% pour progresser un maximum, donc nous souhaiterions être logés dans le même hôtel, prendre le même vol, et me rajouter pour moi la prestation cours de danses. Pourriez vous me dire comment se déroule exactement le programme des cours, l'hôtel où nous logerons, nous pensons partir fin janvier. MERCI DE VOTRE REPONSE CAROLINE😉

Hola!!
Proche de Las Terrenas il y a l'hôtel Bahía Príncipe El Portillo qui compte bien avec la formule tout-inclus pour tes parents.
Durant la journée tu peux prendre un petit minibus et à 5 minutes tu te retrouveras dans le village Las Terrenas où tu auras comme choix de prendre les cours intensifs de salsa soit avec SalsaCaribe soit avec Latin Dance Mixt.
N'hésite pas si tu as besoin d'autres infos🙂.

Je sais que le message commence à dater, mais j’ai laissé plusieurs messages sur Salsa Caraïbe, pour faire un stage au mois de mars. Je n’ai pas de nouvelle ! Pouvez-vous en dire plus, l’école est toujours là, par quel canal peut-on avoir des renseignements et si c’est toujours d’actualité, comment s’inscrire.
Merci d’avance

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

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 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.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

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’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?

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!
Cheers,

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! 🥺🏻

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.

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! 😄
