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.

Madrid is a city which demands you throw yourself into it heart and soul. Its stomping flamenco music, sweltering summer temperatures and crowded cellar bars mean that the ice-cold cerveza is kept flowing till dawn. 

By day, however, Madrid is a vision of sheer opulence and cultural finesse. Monumental palaces, Neo-gothic cathedrals and wide cobble-stone plazas make it an intriguing place to discover on foot, while Picasso’s Guernica at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia is surely one of the city’s most famous residents.
