Original post
bonjour à vous je vois que nous sommes bcp à rever de partir....je souhaiterais découvrir la nc en fin d'année seule ou peut etre avec ma soeur....je souhaiterais réunir un max d'infos sur tous ce qui est nécéssaire la bas, je suis actuellemens auxiliaire de vie scolaire peut etre je trouverais un meme emploi la bas....
Salut ! Je pars moi aussi très bientôt, le temps de liquider mes quelques affaires sans grande valeur... Je te conseille un petit bouquin génial que s'appelle "le petit zozo illustré". Ma soeur qui vit déjà à Nouméa depuis trois ans vient de me l'envoyer. On y trouve plein de tuyaux et de renseignements pour pouvoir s'expatrier en toute quiétude. Je ne sais pas si on le trouve en métropole... Voici les coordonnées de l'auteur : Isabelle Peltier, Pacific Presse Communication tél (687) 27.25.84 ... Bonne chance !

Bonjour.
Pour te répondre sans détour;
Facile pour ma soeur de s'installer : oui, mais elle avait la chance de bénéficier de conditions particulières. Son mari avait déjà un poste, déménagement et installation aidés. Donc, mauvais exemple pour celui ou celle qui part à l'aventure...
Trouver du boulot : à priori, oui, sous réserve d'être déjà sur le territoire. Tout dépend également du type de boulot. De manière générale, actuellement, les employeurs sont assez prudents avec les nouveaux arrivants. Beaucoup ont été échaudés par des désistements et des retours vers la métropole. Mais les métro restent assez cotés pour ceux qui là pour réellement bosser.
Bonne chance à toi et si tu as besoin d'autres éléments, n'hésite pas... Je n'ai pas la science mais je n'ai pas de honte à questionner ma soeur ou mes amis là-bas...
Hervé

Salut à tous,
il est incroyable de voir à quel point votre curiosité et votre esprit de "sans gêne" sont illimités!!!
Je tiens à vous dire que la NC n'est pas du tout ce que vous croyez, nous aussi nous avons des problèmes qui se sont de plus en plus aggravés à cause de petits arrivistes néo-naturiens métropolitains qui viennent nous piquer notre boulot, et qui s'imposent!!! IL est fini le temps où l'on se soumet, n'apportez vos petites manières de Zozos chez nous!!!
Le pays vous vous en foutez, tout ce qui vou intéresse c'est l'argent au Soleil!!! Nous on dit NON!!!
Je vous souhaite bien du courage, la mentalité générale tend vers l'antipathie répressif, espérons que vous allez survivre!!!!
"la curiosité est un très vilain défaut", à force de se frotter là il ne faudrait pas, on finit par se faire mal!!!! Elle est belle votre France restez-y SVP!!!
bonjour je viens de lire ton msg que je trouve bien agréssif...chacun sa maniere de voir, mais je t'explique, aucun de nous ne s'attend a trouver le paradis quelque part sur cette terre, chaque endroit et chaque personne a ces problemes, qui son bien souvent similaire......mais vois tu on a la chanca d'avoir un grand monde avec plein de pays, de culture, de mentalité et de maniere de vivre différentes....mon but n'es pas d'aller chercher l'argent au soleil comme tu dis, t'a vraiment rien compris....chacun d'entre nous voyage pour découvrir, s'émerveillé observer et peut etre a la fin trouver le meilleur des endroits qui nous convient a chacun pou vivre notre vie.....malheuresement des gens avec une mentalités comme toi, gache une parti de chaque pays qu'elle domage, tu parle comme si tu était de la bas a ce que je vois tu es de belgique donc un jour aussi tu a voulu découvrir ailleur......ne juge pas les gens et change ta maniere de pensé ce serait bien........
Salut,
Désolée pour l'aggressivité de mon message, je reconnais que j'y étais un peu fort!
Pour ta gouverne,
cela ne fait qu'un mois que je suis en Belgique et ce pour le boulot, mais je suis une autochtone de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et je retourne aujourd'hui d'ailleurs chez moi dans mon doux pays natal!!! Je ne bannis pas le voyage et la découverte, le fait est que quand les zozos arrivent chez nous, ils se croient tout permis, vous n'arrivez pas en tant que voyageur, vous venez écraser la population autochtone!!! Ce que vous n'aimez pas qu'on fasse en France vous le faîtes sans vous en rendre compte, chez nous!!! Je n'ai rien contre vous personnellement mais tu ne peux pas me reprocher de vouloir protéger mon pays et c'est pas de ma faute si les Zozos avant toi, aujourd'hui installés au pays, se sont mal comportés vis-à-vis des Kanaks et de la population calédonienne en général!!! ET c'est hypocrite de me dire de changer qu'on on voit qu'ici en France, l'intégration de l'étranger (au sens de la nationalité et même dela couleur de peau) n'est et n'a jamais été à l'ordre du jour!!
Alors avant de me dire de changer, change toi-même!!
Merci.
bjr, tu n'a pas bien compris le changement dont je te parlais.......moi je n'es pas besoin de changer j'aime ma mentalité très ouverte par contre je suis d'acord qu'en france bcp de mentalité devrai changer!je veux bien comprendre ton point de vu et ton envie de porotéger ton pays tu a bien raison!désolé si des zozos comme tu dit se son mal comporté, y a des cons partout malheuresement.....mais ce n'est pas mon intention je ferai en sorte de le respecté aussi bien que vous....bien ke certains calédonien ne le font pas j'en suis sur....ne t'inkiete pas tous les zozos ne son pas pareil et jesper que tu rencontrera des exemple concret.....peut erte a un de ces 4 la bas, bon retour....
Revoie ta culture générale, tu sais c'est quoi avoir un statut particulier!!! On est un pays en voie d'autonomisation, je connais bien l'histoire de mon pays merci et ma géo aussi!!!
je n'ai pas un maivais caractère, je souteins juste mes convictions!!!Et si tu prends le temps de lire et analyser mes répliques, tu verrais en quoi je ne suis pas égoîste, derrière mes mots de mises en garde, il y a plus de crainte par rapport au devenir de mon pays!! C'est un appel au caractère grégaire, social de l'homme, chose qu'il oublie parfois!!!
Revoie toi même ta géo, c'est dépourvu d'arguments ta réplique, ça en dit long sur la personne!!!
Salut
Je viens de lire votre discussion, ta réaction est compréhensible, c'est vrai, mais chacun est différent, huta, comme moi et surement bcp d'autres, ne rêvont pas d'argent au soleil, mais plutôt de découvrir une autre culture, une autre façon de vivre, des paysages de folie, des personnes proches de la nature et justement une mentalité peut etre plus cool qu'ici. J'aime ma région, je vis dans le sud de la France, (Provence) et en tourisme irrespectueux on est servi. Beaucoup de personnes y viennent pour le climat et le travail, beaucoup y sont aussi arrivées par la force des choses, l'immigration y a toujours été importante. Malgré tout je pense qu'elle est accepté, personnellement je pense avoir un esprit ouvert, et je trouve que ça apporte énormément. Marseille est une belle ville pour ça aussi, les cultures sont bien mélangées.
Bref, moi aussi je pars en Nouvelle Calédonie, et j'espère bien rencontrer des personnes qui m'apprendront plein de choses sur " le caillou" et peut être que je donnerais envie à certains de venir découvrir un morceau de la métropole.
Ma cousine s'est installée avec un "caldoche", elle l'a suivi par amour. Moi je viens quelques temps, 4 mois min, un peu à l'aventure.On verra bien.je suis jeune, j'ai pas bcp d'argent, pas de diplomes en or, je veux juste réaliser un rêve, comme tant d'autres, et surtout pas au détriment d'autres personnes.
Peut être à bientôt.
retour case départ...jusqu'à la prochaine!
Salut
Ben écoute je n'y suis pas encore (mais bientot), je te dirais ça dans une dizaine de jours.
Je pars avec pas grand chose mais beaucoup de motivation. Je suis hébergée au début, mais si je trouve pas rapidement du taf, je devrais rentrer.
La plupart des gens disent que si tu es bosseur tu peux trouver du boulot, motivé pour rester aussi évidement.Je n'ai pas peur de me serrer la ceinture et de ne pas avoir mon petit confort.
Je part pas dans l'état d'esprit de m'installer directos, je verrais comment je m'y sens, si je m'adapte à la vie là bas...
Je pense qu'il n'y aura pas de problèmes, j'en rêve depuis tellement longtemps, mais il y a rêve et réalité!!
Je suis pas du genre stressée donc on verra bien.
Il y a plein de blogs intéressants si tu veux avoir des infos sur le coût de la vie etc.
Pourquoi la nouvelle calédonie?
A bientot j'espère
retour case départ...jusqu'à la prochaine!

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 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’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! 🥺🏻

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!

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! :)
