Translation Nomads’ Post

When we helped form the School Travel Collective (STC), it was about more than just building an organisation. It was about bringing confidence back to the school travel sector after a time when uncertainty had become too common. At Defining Moments, we've seen firsthand how transformative educational travel can be for students, and we wanted to ensure schools and communities could plan their trips with complete peace of mind. Through the cornerstone of TAANZ financial bonding and transparent reporting, we're giving schools the reassurance they need—knowing their trips are backed by solid financial security. But it's not just about the numbers. Protecting the wellbeing of our young travellers is our top priority, so we follow Ministry of Education best practice guidelines to ensure health, safety, and duty of care are always at the forefront. As we look ahead to 2025 and 2026, we're excited to continue shaping these life-changing experiences for students, bringing the world to their fingertips with the confidence that they're in safe hands. #EducationalTravel #SchoolTours #STEMEducation #StudentTravel #DefiningMoments #SchoolTravelCollective #TravelWithConfidence #SafetyFirst #NZEducation #TAANZ #MinistryOfEducation #2025Tours #2026Tours #GlobalLearning #TransformativeTravel #DefiningMomentsNZ

🏡 ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS COMING TO SLOVAKIA 👨🎓 International students coming to Slovakia for student mobility should consider the following options for finding accommodation: 🛏 UNIVERSITY DORMITIORIES: Most universities in Slovakia offer dormitory accommodation for international students. Contact the international office of the host university for more information and to apply for a room. 🛏 RENTING A FLAT: Getting a private apartment is the easiest way in case you don´t get a dormitory. Websites like Airbnb, Booking.com, Nehnutelnosti.sk, and Reality.sk list apartments and houses for rent. These sites are good for finding short- and long-term accommodation. 🛏 STUDENT HOUSING PLATFORMS: Platforms like ErasmusU, Uniplaces, and HousingAnywhere specialize in student accommodation and often have listings in Slovakia. 🛏 SOCIAL NETWORKS: You can also find a shared room or flat via social networks or via www.flatmates.sk, www.spolubyvanie.sk – both websites in Slovak only. Search for Facebook groups dedicated to student housing in the city you will be staying in. These groups often have posts from students looking for roommates or subletting their apartments. 🛏 HOSTELS AND TEMPORARY HOUSING: If you need temporary accommodation while searching for something more permanent, hostels or short-term rentals can be a good option. Websites like Hostelworld or Couchsurfing might be useful. 🙋♀️ It's recommended to start the search early and reach out to the international office of your host university for additional guidance and resources. ℹ MORE INFORMATION about accommodation in Slovakia can be found at: https://lnkd.in/dRP88nqD #accommodation #options #international #students #slovakia

📚 As some of Italy’s major universities are resuming classes these weeks, I’m expecting more and more students to jump on a FlixBus and ride back in town in the coming days.   As cheesy as it can get, it fills me with happiness to consider that it won’t be (too) long before Christmas holidays approach and we will be there again to collect them at their stop and drive them back home.   💚 On top of a travel tech company driving sustainable and affordable travel for all, I like to conceive Flix as a companion that can play a role in protecting social relationships of those living away from home.   As a former expat myself, I personally experienced just how much one more day spent with your family, one more kiss from your partner, one more hug from your friends can make the difference.   🚌 Enabling more travel from town to town, across regions and countries, isn’t just part of our business. In fact, it’s one of the pillars that support our strategy for sustainability, and this is not by chance.   Especially for those thousands of people whose places of origin are untouched by other means of transport, travel opportunities by coach can represent a determining factor for the overall quality of life in this respect.   🏡 I’m glad that we can do our part and provide an easy way back when homesickness starts lurking. Life's nothing without relationships, and protecting them is one of the highest duties we're called to perform.   So, best wishes to all about to start their year at university! We're looking forward to seeing you soon on board.   #backtoschool #enablingtravel #caringforpeople
