Welcome!

Planning what to do during gap? Want to take vocation abroad to enjoy the sunshine and the beach, but on the other hand to be productive enough so your cv can be enhanced after the break... Why not combine the two?

CityTravelReview (CTR) provides placement that send you to Germany, France, Spain, Scotland, England so you can pick up a new language or improve it, travel around the city, and at the end publish a travel guide which you can really make money if people buy it!

It is very simple. In the morning, you have your language class to understand the culture better. And then in the afternoon, you troll around the city to discover the local flavour. Meanwhile, you collect useful materials to work on the travel guide with your teammates. You will be supported by workshops conducted by journalists and other professionals, and sent to different media institutions to gain better insight of the media and publishing industry.

After a month (or longer), you will be leaving with a new language, a better understanding of a foreign culture and city, a bunch of good friends, and a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Lyon

Overview

Lyon forms a prosperous urban area of around 2 million inhabitants. The beautiful city of Lyon houses as you would expect many bars, restaurants, cafes, museums, art and fashionable shopping pedestrian zones. In the heart of the old town enjoy the historic character with cobbled streets and ancient buildings. Lyon has a dining scene that is chic, sharp and savvy. Along with outstanding art museums, a dynamic cultural life, a busy clubbing and night time scene which gives the city a distinctly sophisticated air. Green parks, riverside paths and a historical old town sufficiently precious to be protected on Unesco’s World Heritage list ensure a bounty of discoveries.
