Je m'appelle Morgane j'ai 22ans et j'habite la Réunion depuis bientot 10 mois, comme toi j'ai tout quitté pr partir la bas, et c la meilleure chose que j'ai faites dans ma vie! lol J'ai du mal a en repartir, pour te dire!! 🙂
Si je peux te renseigner sur quoi que ce soit, no pb!
Si tu as envie de partir, et l'opportunité, n'hésite plus une seconde !
Ça a été mon cas.
J'avais 21 ans, l'opportunité inattendue de faire du déplacement, j'ai accepté, j'ai commencé à voyager,
je suis resté 4 ans et demi au Japon ou j 'ai rencontré ma femme... 😇
Avec le recul, je me dis que cette décision prise en 2002 a changer ma vie... 🤪 que du bonheur.
Pareil, si je peux t'aider, n'hésite pas !
Bonjour a toutes et a tous , merci pr vos reponses. :)
Actuellement je renvends tout ce que j ai en metro, le depart est prevu le 20 fevrier :D
Pas mal de demarches et de choses a faire car l aide familiale il n y en a pas :(
J ai pris la lourde decision de ne pas emmener mes animaux avec moi :'(
actuellement je n ai tjr pas de logements :s , quelq un aurais des pistes eventuellement svp?
Disons en meme temps que je m occupe plus en ce qui concerne la metro ( demenagement, etc....) que de l ile , car un manque de temps, d aides et d infos. Pourtant je dors peu mais le cerveau surchauffe lol
Les animaux je les reprends des que je reviens en métro, ce qui se passe qd j ai prevu mon départ j ai demandé des infos , et j ai eu une réponse A des agences de voyages, services vétérinaires, etc..... et quand j appelle Air Austral j ai eu une version B , ne voulant prendre aucun risque, j attends de "voir" sur place et ensuite je les rapatrie ici, car je veux pas les laisser et les donner a qq un , on les aime nos petites betes :)
Je me permets de t'écrire car je vois que tu as tout laissé pour aller vivre à la Réunion et c'est que mon et moi souhaitons faire.
Nous aimerions ouvrir notre société la bas mais il y a toute une étude de marché à faire? Un vrai bazar bref....
Comment vis tu ta nouvelle vie? Est ce si difficile de vivre la bas car j'ai vu plusieurs forums avec des témoignages assez décourageants.
Nous on veut tout laisser, arrivés avec notre valise et basta et tout recommencer sur l'île.
Donc si tu as des petits renseignements à me donner je suis preneuse.
Salut Chachou , je viens de voir ton message, et comparé a Morgane je ne connais rien la bas lol enfin peu de chose, grace a Morgane j en apprends tous les jours, le départ est prévu ds 33 jours de la métro pr la run :D , cependant ayany eu une entreprise, sur tout ce qui est démarche, prévisionnel, étude de marché, business plan etc..... je peux t aider si tu as besoin. Bonne nuit tout le monde :)
Ah oui ça va arriver vite!! Nous on est pas prêt de partir là bas!! à cause de l'étude que nous avons à faire!! Mais j'attends des nouvelles de la CCI de la Réunion pour effectuer mon étude! J'ai trouvé pas mal de choses déjà sur Internet! Et si ça se concrétise on sait déjà que nous irons du côté de St Pierre sachant que nos concurrents sont situés dans le Nord!! Mais j'espère de tout coeur que ça marche!!
Et toi tu as trouvé un travail, un logement, ... ou tu pars à l'aventure là bas? En tous cas tu nous tiens au courant pour savoir ton avancement pour ta nouvelle vie?
Et si tu as des infos à me donner, je suis preneuse! et en epérant que l'année prochaine, on soit installé là bas.
Bonne nuit
Bonjour à tous
Je suis dans le même cas que vous 🙂, sauf toi Morgane qui à pied sur l'île 😎. Habitant du sud de la France je souhaite plaquer la métropole et venir courant Juin 2011 pour explorer vivre rencontrer rêver sur l'île pour quelques années je l'espère.
Tous vos messages me mettent une pêche d'enfer et me motive dans un choix difficile et bien égocentrique, un nouveau départ personnel s'annonce 😉.
Je m'informe depuis quelques mois déjà afin de ne pas partir comme "çà". Ma motivation me permettra d'y arriver, si c'est le cas c'est avec plaisir de vous rencontrer sur ce petit bout du monde afin de partager de bons moments.
Je vous salue tous..
Aujourd hui J - 29 ca passe vite, ca se vend gentiment chez moi mais j ai la personne qui devait s occuper de ma chienne qui se désiste :'( , je suis un peu degouté mais bon :s la motivation est la :D . J ai pas pu trop m occuper des demarches pr la bas ce jour car ce matin gros reveil en surssaut, dégat des eaux ds l appart' , ma chaudiere qui a laché. Ca me donne un avant gout d avoir les pieds ds l eau lol . Enfin demain on remet ca . Pour le taf et le logement tjr rien de concret et tjr le m pb ..... le temps qui manque pr tout faire.....
Chachou , tu fais une etude de marché ds quel domaine? tu as l INSEE qui peu t aider, la ville ou tu vx t installer pr les donner , le site www.bilantsgratuits.com ou tu px consulter les chiffres des Sté concurrentes. En étant en métro en 3 mois, tu as le temps de faire ton etude de marché et ton prévisionnel . Pour le prévisionnel fait le faire par un expert comptable , en lui disant que si les banques sont okay tu viens chez lui il sera content et t économise 500€ H.T , et apres tu viens la lol . MAis pour le chiffrage on peut trouver énormément de choses sur le net..... et ds le livret public des communes..... Bonne soirée tout le monde
Cà approche à grand pas pour toi, Je te souhaite de réussir ton projet. Chachou aussi good vibe pour le votre.
Si j'y arrive on se verra courant juin, good luck à tous..
Merci pour les informations!! On voudrait ouvrir notre société de fontaines à eau du côté de St Pierre!! J'attends des réponses de la CCI de la réuinion!!
En tout cas bon courage à toi et ça va arriver vite!! Fini les galères en Métropole car à ce que je vois c'est pas le top!!
Bonne soirée et bon courage
Bonjour a toutes et a tous , apres une periode ss nouvelles car installation un peu dur :) , voici des petites news fraiches :) :
Alors je suis bien arrivé le 21 fevrier 2011 , moi qui n avait jamais pris l avin , J AD-ORE lol
une seule choses a dire, il faut venir
Pour moi voici les points positifs :
Des gens super sympas, pres a t aider qd ca va pas , le sourir et le coeur ss la main , ca m a agreablement surpris et touché
Des paysages a couper le souffle ( ca change de ma region nantaise :) )
Des cultures variés, une ambiance super bien, pr ceux qui aiment faire la fete il y a de quoi s occuper :)
C est une ile mais on ne s ennuit jamais
et voici qq points negatifs :) :
j ai remarqué ici que ca fonctionnne enormement au piston ( pour le taf aussi ) , ca fait deux mois que je suis arrivé et j ai trouvé qq extras a faire mais par piston, j ai postulé a des offres de chef d equipe em plomberie et chef d exploitation ( deux secteurs ou j etais en metro ) et je n ai pr le moment ...rien :s
si on veut manger a la metro , faut pas chercher tu te ruine lol ( genre 9 lotres de vittel 8€ )
Faire attention si vous achetez un vehicule a un particulier ( que les papiers soient réellement bon , me suis fais avoir et j ai une voiture qui bouge pas du parking)
Pour conclure , tu viens en petit saint perdu qui connait rien personne et n a pas de famille (comme moi lol) , les gens seront la .... tu viens en terrain conquis ac du "moi je" , euh..... ne vient pas ......
En tout cas, je ne regrette pas d etre venu meme si les proches manquent , car pour etre dépaysé on ne peut faire mieux
bon ben voilà il t'a fallu peu de temps pour comprendre le fonctionnement made in reunion
j'habite ici depuis trois ans et je suis d'accord avec toi sur tes points positifs : les gens, les paysages
et sur tes points negatifs : le travail, la bouffe, les voitures...
les gens sont parfois magique, mais surtout ouvert d'esprit (enfin pas tous mais bcp)
les paysages sont fantastiques
a chaque fois k j 'ai fais des rechch d'emploi, c'etait tjrs en vain et quand je travaille c'est lui qui vient à moi par le piston ou les rencontres, le hasard.
manger des carris : c'est pas cher, facile a faire et en plus c'est bon!!!
et pour le reseau automobile c'est au ptit bonheur la chance ...
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,
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! 😄
