J'aimerai partir l'été prochain (2005) à Londres (ou une autre grande ville sympa) afin d'y travailler en tant que saisonniere. Je ne suis jamais allée seule à l'étranger et donc j'apprehende un peu. C'est pour ca que j'aimerai que ce soit bien (voire tres bien) planifié. Avez vous des conseils pour trouver un job, un logement (type auberge de jeunesse). Existe il une structure type anpe pour trouver un job? Existe il des organismes qui s'occupe de tout (trouver un taff, un logement, transport...) ??
Meme si vous n'avez pas spécialement de conseils, mais que vous avez vecu cette experience, racontez moi tout !!!!!! (meme si ca c'est mal passé). J'attends vos reponses!!!!
salut, tu tables effectivement dans les tres grandes villes en choisissant londres, mais pourquoi pas🙂.
en ce qui concerne trouver du boulot...tu peux trouver en faisant du porte a porte..mais il faut savoir que londres est une ville tres tres chere..en plus la livre sterling est bien plus elevee que l'euro...donc a mon aivs tu ferais mieux de trouver le job avant de partir, un site bien fait pour trouver du boulot dans l'hotellerie/restauration c'est: www.lhotellerie.com
tu y deposes ton cv et tu recoies les offres correspondantes a ta recherche.
pour les auberges de jeunesse, je ne me souviens plus de l'adresse exacte du site des auberges internationales...mais tu trouveras en regardant sur des moterus de recherches comme google, regarde a backapckers hostels aussi....ils sont pas mal du tout.
j'aurai besoin de qq conseil adresse bon plan etc pour s'installé a londres trouvé un boulot un logement etc sans trop galerer a l'arrivé . je sais pas trop par ou commencé pour organisé le voyage donc
en essayant de préparer le mien de voyage, j'ai découvert plusieurs sites intéressants:
www.destinationlondres.com
www.bienvenuealondres.com
en espérant t'avoir aidé!
Moi j'attends toujours qu'on m'aide. je veux travailler 2 mois dans un pays anglophone (j'avais pensé a londres mais bon si vous avez d'autres idees...) afin d'ameliorer mon anglais. je veux des renseignements sur comment trouver un job, un logement...
slt bon bah on est maintenant trois dans la meme galere parce que moi je reflechi depuis pas mal de temps a partir dans un pays anglophone pour apprendre la langue. Par contre j'y est reflechi seulement un petit peu et c'est seulement maintenant que je m'y met serieux... alors voila si vous avez des plans sympas bah moi je suis preneur....
en effet kiara et les francais comme tout le monde, s'ils se retrouvent dans un pays etrangers..se melangent moins et de ce fait ne parlent presque pas la langue du pays en question et apres ralent...😏
"ya trop de francais!" c'est une phrase tres courante!!!😄
Bon alors ca bouge la dedans!!!? Moi g trouvé plein de truc mais fo souvent mettre le prix; c pas tip top... Et aussi je me demandais quand est ce que c'est la meilleure periode pour partir trouver un taf et tout???
En réponse à ta question et en ce qui concerne l'Irlande, trouver du taf c'est maintenant !! en effet, les étudiants et les étrangers venant passer l'été dans le pays quittent les emplois vers début septembre et tu fais du porte à porte en trimballant des cv, comme en Angleterre en somme 🙂.
Quest-ce que tu as trouvé comme trucs où il faut mettre le prix ?
bah en fait pour les prix c'est ce que j'ai vu sur internet par exemple le CEi qui s'occupent de nous trouver un logement et un taf ou d'autres un peu dans le meme style... Sinon moi je pense avoir un bon niveau d'anglais mais je me dis qu' arriver la bas ca sera peu etre plus tout a fait ça donc moi j'aimerais bien avoir un taf avant de partir histoire d'etre sur...
Je viens de voir des sites qui pratiquent le au paire sytle et je me dis que finalement je preferais mettre un peu d'argent dans une agence e avoir un bon taf. Parce d' apres ce que j'ai vu on se fait grave exploité et en plus ils precisent bien que les boulots sont dures physiquement et moralement alors qu ' a la base ils sont les vendres ces boulots...finalement je crois que je vais me diriger vers le CEI.Sinon je voulais savoir si tu connaissez pas des gens qui pourraient m' aider parce que je vois Irlande sur ta carte....moi ca me va tres bien l'Irlande!
J'aimerai qq renseignement pour l'irlande. Est ce plus facile de trouver un travail saisonnier? LEs irlandais sont ils plus accueillants que les anglais ? Leur accent est il plus comprehensible? Estil plus facile de trouver un logement? merci de me repondre
Je compte moi aussi me rendre dans un pays anglophone pour y travailler quelques mois, (pas encore defini lequel), et dans mes recherches j'ai trouver ces quelques sites qui pourons peut etre vous aider ?

Inter sejours,
Je leur ai rendu visite dans leur bureau sur paris. Plutot bonne impression, a l'ecoute de mes attentes, j'ai pas eu l'impression d'etre traiter comme un simple client genre " vous payez, vous vous cassez, le reste on s'en fout" .
Ils proposent des placements (logement + travail ) principalement a londres, ou en irelande.
Pour repondre a tes quelques question kirara, en ce qui concerne l'irlande, j'ai un ami qui s'y est rendu et qui m'en a un peu parlé.
Pour le travail saisonnier et le logement, meme combat, c'est pas evident si on cherche soit meme.
La vie y est moin chere, et il est meme rentrer en france, avec une jolie somme sur son compte 😛
En ce qui concerne leur accent, accroche toi ! Meme ma mere qui est anglaise a du mal a les comprendre...
Les autres accents dur a comprendre sont ceux du nord de l'angleterre (manchester etc), celui de liverpool etant le pire...
Le plus simple celui de londres ( normal, beaucoup se la pete un peu bourgeois noble... )
Voila si vous avez d'autre question sur l'angleterre... je connais tres bien la region de manchester.
==== > Moi ze recherche des infos sur l'AUSTRALIE ! J'aimerais beaucoup m'y rendre, mais pour l'instant j'ai pas trouver grand chose. Et comme c'est loin, j'ai pas trop envie de me pointer la bas les mains dans les poches ....
Je suis un peu dans votre cas: je pars a Londres fin juin ou debut juillet 2005 pour m'installer a Londres. Je compte travailler la bas ( petits boulots au départ). Moi aussi je commence a chercher quelques infos avant de m'y mettre sérieusement!!!! La vie est super chere la bas donc j'economise depuis quelques temps 😉. Enfin moi je suis vraiment décidé donc voila on va tous s'y retrouver!lol Si j'ai des infos pour les jobs... je vous le dis mais je pense que le porte a porte une fois sur place c plus simple pour trouver un job enfin je sais pas tout comme vous!
How you doing, effectivement l Irlande est pus accueillant que Londres et que l angleterre, le temps est surment pire mais bon ça tu te ratrape dans les pubs, Dublin ca bougebien c est pas trop grand et pas trop petit, ce n est pas l + belle ville du monde ca c est sur, mais c est pas dagereux du tout, et tu te fais trés vite des amis, le boulot tu peux en trouver, le trnasport est pourri par contre c est bus bus bus !!!! moi j ai fais 6 mois et cété génial !! y a cei a Dublin si tu as peur d arriver seul, sinon il y a celtichalls.com c estue agence de logment, un peu chère certe, mais tu peux réserver a l avance ! donc c est un bon plan pour les 1eres fois a l etranger, voila si qqlun veut en savoir plus ...
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! 😄
