Are you moving abroad for your studies, training or a temporary placement? Or perhaps one of your children is leaving home to study in a foreign country?
We are here to help students settle into their new life and to make the move smooth and stress-free! We will be there with a friendly and familiar presence to both support students and reassure parents, who can get in touch with us whenever they need.
With Cmycities Student we guarantee mentorship during your preparation, assist in the move and remain available for assistance during the first weeks you are here.
After any initial questions, and once you’ve purchased this option, you’ll arrange a time with your Destination Expert to discuss your project in detail (by phone or video call). They will then get back to you with the information you agreed. From that point you can turn to your Destination Expert with any further questions to help you plan everything perfectly.
Your Destination Expert knows their city inside out. They can help you find the right area to live in, help with your flat search (putting you in contact with professionals if web search is not the best option for you), help with transport options, medical contacts and can basically help with any questions using their local network.
When it comes to looking for accommodation, we are here to give you all the tips to do just that! We’ll show you the best websites to search and how we as locals look for a room or a flat so you don’t fall into any traps. We will make suggestions and help you with choosing the right one, put you in contact with potential landlords we know of in our network. Or if you prefer, we can put you in contact with professionals who can organize everything for you before you arrive.
Most importantly, the Destination Expert remains available once the student has arrived. We are only a phone call away from the student or their parents for any extra questions or in case of emergency.
Included in the City Student option: “A Welcome Visit”: half a day spent exploring the city with our Destination Expert. The itinerary is established according to your preferences.
If you are considering a destination which is not yet listed on our website, please get in touch with us as we have contacts in many countries, and new destinations are being added regularly.

After several expatriations in Europe and the United States, I settled in Tokyo where I live since early 2019 with my family. Visiting Japan is making a trip to the heart of a unique culture so far removed from our Western landmarks. Japan is a beautiful country full of contrasts. Between tradition and hyper modernity, urban megacity and nature breathtaking, culture and sports of all types, you will discover a country with innumerable facets, a welcoming and captivating people. It is with pleasure that I will help you prepare your trip!

I always loved travelling since my early ages. First, I travelled to Europa, then I went to Middle-East and in the end America. 2008 was the year I discovered the African continent and I moved to Casablanca first and then thanks to a business trip in 2015 I met west Africa and moved definitively in Ivory coast. There is some much beautiful things to discover in Abidjan and around: the people of course, the culture, the landscapes, the food… a life won’t be enough! I’m looking forward to travelling with you!

Expatriate for 20 years, mainly in Africa and in the overseas territorial departments, I have been living in Kuala Lumpur for the past 2 years with my family.
Having always loved travelling, I am always looking for a new place to discover.
Malaysia is a fascinating country, offering a nice mix of cultures (and religion) between Chinese, Malay and Indian people. This multicultural atmosphere is reflected through the architectures, religious places (Hindu or Chinese temples and mosques…) and the cuisine.
You will be seduced by the beauty of its nature whether you are in the jungle or on beautiful beaches where you will be able to dive and do all sorts of activities, which creates contrast with the modernity of the city or its colonial cities still authentic and classified world heritage of unesco.
With family or with friends, alone or in a group, from low to high budgets, everyone will find their happiness.
It is a destination still poorly won over by tourism and that holds many hidden paradises !
It would be my pleasure to share with you my discoveries and my tips and tricks to make your Malaysian journey unforgettable.

After travelling the world for a long years, it was in Polynesia that my family and me, decided to leave our bags, four years ago.
I am always searching for new adventures. I’m passionate about travel, encounters and new discoveries, and it was here on the island of Tahiti that we found our paradise. If Polynesia is for everyone, synonymous white sand and coconut trees, it also offers so many other things. The warm welcome and kindness of the Polynesians make this place a special place where it is good to recharge. Lovers of hiking, lovers of scuba diving or snorkeling, lovers of culinary discoveries will be seduced.
Looking forward to sharing a moment of this story with you.
