You walk into the office of Live To Travel and are immediately surrounded by elephants, giraffes, and computers. Walking over to my desk and being greeted multiple times by the many colleagues who work here has become routine by now, both for me and for them. The first few minutes of the day are usually the same, but the tasks are always different. From creating WETUs for multiple destinations to preparing travel files and printing travel documents. Every day is different, and that variety, along with the flexible hours, makes this internship very interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce stage a commenc\u00e9 comme un stage ordinaire, mais s’est finalement r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 bien plus int\u00e9ressant que pr\u00e9vu. Avant le d\u00e9but de mon stage, j’avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 un rendez-vous dans les locaux de Live To Travel \u00e0 Alost. Nous y avons discut\u00e9 de mon CV et de ma lettre de motivation, qui ont heureusement \u00e9t\u00e9 bien accueillis. C’est ainsi que j’ai pu commencer quelques semaines plus tard en tant que stagiaire chez ce tour op\u00e9rateur r\u00e9put\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I mentioned above, every day is different. The first thing I do when I arrive at the office is turn on my computer and then check my emails and to-do list. Once that\u2019s done, I get started on my tasks. These tasks include creating and reviewing WETUs, preparing and printing travel documents, and many more. Although the tasks often seem the same, the destinations are always different, so it never gets boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au d\u00e9but, je trouvais la cr\u00e9ation des WETUs tr\u00e8s stressante. Il faut penser \u00e0 tellement d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments en m\u00eame temps et tout saisir correctement. Si je commettais une erreur, par exemple concernant une nuit\u00e9e ou un transfert, les voyageurs recevaient des informations erron\u00e9es, et ce n\u2019est bien s\u00fbr pas ce qu\u2019on souhaite. Mais plus je m\u2019y exer\u00e7ais, plus j\u2019y prenais go\u00fbt. C\u2019est ainsi que j\u2019ai appris beaucoup plus de choses sur les diff\u00e9rentes destinations. Aujourd\u2019hui, je cr\u00e9e des WETUs sur l\u2019Afrique du Sud, Zanzibar, l\u2019\u00eele Maurice, l\u2019Australie et bien d\u2019autres destinations encore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating travel files didn\u2019t always go smoothly at first, either. For every destination, there are specific details you need to pay attention to. For example, I need to know that for French Polynesia, the text starts with the local agent and that there are no vouchers for this destination. For Zanzibar, on the other hand, vouchers are required, and I also have to look up the transfer times. Despite the chaos at the beginning, I actually really enjoyed putting together travel itineraries. It really felt that I was helping to turn people\u2019s dream trips into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c0 la fin de ce stage, une question importante reste en suspens: est-ce que je recommanderais cette exp\u00e9rience? Ma r\u00e9ponse est sans h\u00e9sitation oui. Ce stage chez Live To Travel a \u00e9t\u00e9 enrichissant et inspirant. C’est une exp\u00e9rience que je n\u2019oublierai jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
