Who We Are
We help you to get integrated into your life in the United Kingdom!
In the autumn of 2015, Citylife was founded in a student house in Nottingham, United Kingdom. As international students ourselves, we had the feeling that there was a community for internationals missing. It was our goal to create something unique for every international and integrate everyone in our big Citylife family and the life in the United Kingdom.
Whether students need help on what to do in their city, looking for accommodation, cultural experiences, parties or travel opportunities – everyone is welcome at Citylife!
Meanwhile, Citylife has been growing quickly. We are now operating in Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Loughborough, Manchester and Edinburgh. We also became partners with ESN UK, the largest student organisation in Europe!
The Team

Bobby
With a background in organising events for International students for over 6 years throughout the UK I was beginning to wonder how I could further my passion in working with International students…which is where Citylife came along.
Combining my love for different cultures, languages, travel and events it became a dream recipe. If you see me around, in person or online don’t be afraid to say hi or as we say in Yorkshire ‘Ey up’.

Tarn Voraharn
I have been an international student since 1996!, started when I was an exchange student in Kansas, USA. Later in 2000, I studied in the UK and completed my engineering PhD in 2015 at the University of Nottingham. I love introducing practical solutions and I consider myself an enthusiastic learner. With my experience, I hope to provide unique leisure service and help the integration to this amazing community.

Jack
I am very dedicated to my role and I am mostly in charge of the operations related to the organisation of trips, events and activities, but I also enjoy spending time outside of the office, especially when I get to meet up with new international students who decide to participate in our engaging initiatives.
I am particularly fond of travelling and visiting new places during our international trips, which are probably one of my favourite parts included in many of Citylife's sectors!

Sofia
It's my first time leaving my country for such a long time but I really wanted to explore more places and cultures and make new friends from all over the world and I don't think that there is a better place to do that than Citylife UK.
I'm excited to meet and make international friends through all the fun activities and trips Citylife organises!

Malou
Before I went to university I did a voluntary year in which I travelled throughout Germany and introduced students to local politics. What I enjoyed most was getting to know so many places and people.
I really like foreign languages and cultures and am therefore very happy to be able to see and experience so much with Citylife. My dream is to visit as many places as possible and make friends all over the world!
So I look forward to getting to know you on one of the many activities and trips of Citylife!

Going out, travelling, meeting new people and making friends during your time abroad is amazing and the best thing you can do during your comparably short time in the United Kingdom.
We have founded Citylife UK in order facilitate the entire getting settled process for people from outside the United Kingdom. In addition, we have set ourselves the goal to offer the best social events, activities, trips and holidays for everyone.

Simon
During all travels I have made many friends all around the world who shared the same interests and luckily, I could always benefit from their personal experience. For that reason we started Citylife. We want to show people the beauty of the life in the UK from the perspective of a foreigner. Even more, we want you to have the best possible experience during your time abroad!
