My Travel Story

I am a 25 year old start-up Entrepreneur with a Bachelor's in International & European Law. I recently began my own company called International Consultancy for Students based in the Netherlands (www.icfs.nl). This Consultancy Firm has been established to provide assistance and legal guidance to international students and working professionals coming into the Netherlands. We cover a diverse area of expertise and using our rich knowledge and experience we strive to provide the best advice and solutions possible.

Recently, I have moved a step forward and discussed with multiple Universities in the Netherlands the possibility of my company helping these Universities gain more international students. But in order to do this, I would need to travel to specific destinations and successfully recruit a small number of students. The Universities and Educational Institutes will only sign a contract with me once I have made it clear that my company has recruited some students. Once a contract is signed, they will fund me regularly. But before that, I must incur these travel costs myself, and prove to them that my company will recruit some students and bring them business, which will solidify their confidence in me and my company. 

This is the reason I have chosen to begin a fundraising campaign. Any donations will help the income I make from providing consultancy and legal guidance, and if I am able to save up enough, then I will start travelling to different locations and recruiting students on behalf of my company.
