BioDeals for German Erasmates

Dear Erasmus friends!

Today we’d like to share a post by Johann Quassowski: an Erasmus student going to Berlin upcoming semester, and employed by Biodeals.

Are you doing your Erasmus in Germany next semester? If yes, and if you’d like to diversify your diet beyond bratwurst and beer, I recommend Biodeals. Biodeals offers different bio, organic or fair-trade products every week against discounted student-friendly prices.

Sign up for our newsletter in order to receive even more discount on your first purchase.

Party hard, but don’t forget your healthy additions to your student-diet!

Additional information: you’ll need to understand/read some German to order and, so far, we are not delivering outside of Germany.

PS: Johann is going to Berlin next semester. Are you still looking for a roommate? Check out his profile here.

Next Erasmus Semester? Save money!

November – December are for most students the months in which they get to hear whether they can participate in the upcoming Erasmus exchange semester. For all of you who already got informed, congrats! You’re awaiting one of the most beautiful experiences in your student life!

In preparation of your exchange period you’ll have to arrange a lot. We’d like to name a few important matters:

• Arrange your housing abroad for FREE!
• Sublet your apartment during your exchange for FREE!
• Make sure your housing arrangements are legally binding
• Get a travel insurance
• Get some insides on the local language with 10% discount!
• Book your flight

Housing arrangement is considered difficult by former Erasmus students. Local agencies charge a lot of money and local websites are based on the language often difficult to understand. Here at Erasmate.com you can post & search housing in all Erasmus countries in English.

ACTION! For all next semester Erasmus exchange students we have the following deal: upload your housing ad or search profile for FREE!, email the URL of your ad to info@erasmate.com, and receive a 50% DISCOUNT on your tenancy agreement!
