Going on Erasmus is so much more than an academic exchange. It’s an adventure, a chance to grow, and an experience that can truly shape your future. 

Here are 6 tips to help you get the best out of it:

1. Say yes to opportunities 🎉

Don’t just stick to classes. Join clubs, workshops, or student associations. It’s the fastest way to meet people, get involved, and create memories that last.

2. Explore beyond your campus 🚆

Your Erasmus isn’t limited to your host city. Use weekends to travel, discover new places, try local food, and dive into the culture.

3. Learn the local language (at least a little) 🗣

Even if your courses are in English, making the effort to learn the basics of the local language will make everyday life easier—and locals will appreciate it.

4. Grow your network 🌐

Meet students from different backgrounds and cultures. You’ll not only make great friends, but also build an international network that could be valuable for your future career.

5. Set yourself some goals 🎯

Ask yourself: what do I want to achieve during this time abroad? Improving your language skills, gaining independence, or stepping out of your comfort zone—having clear goals will keep you motivated.

6. Keep an eye on your budget 💳

Travel, nights out, daily life… costs add up quickly. Create a realistic budget and stick to it, so you can enjoy your Erasmus without financial stress.

✨ Bonus tip: travel light!

Don’t bother dragging all your stuff with you. With uStock, you can safely store your belongings in Switzerland while you’re away. Flexible, secure, and hassle-free—focus on your adventure, we’ll take care of the rest.

How to prepare your ski equipment for summer storage https://ustock.ch/en/how-to-prepare-your-ski-equipment-for-summer-storage/ Fri, 28 Mar 2025 03:49:55 +0000 https://ustock.ch/?p=33833 Summer’s just around the corner. At uStock, we know how important it is to store your equipment properly so it stays in top shape and is ready to go when the snow starts falling again. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you prep your ski gear for summer storage.

What’s better than kicking off a new season with gear that’s in top shape and ready to go?

Summer’s just around the corner, which means it’s time to put your ski gear away until next winter. At uStock, we know how important it is to store your equipment properly so it stays in top shape and is ready to go when the snow starts falling again.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you prep your ski gear for summer storage.

Ski maintenance 101

Prepping your skis

  1. Give them a good clean – Wipe down the bases to remove dirt and grime.
  2. Check the edges – Inspect for rust or damage and lightly file them to keep them smooth.
  3. Fix any base damage – Repair scratches or gouges to prevent moisture from seeping in.

Protect with wax

Apply a thick layer of hot wax to the bases—but don’t scrape it off! This helps keep them hydrated and protected from moisture all summer long.

Binding care

  1. Clean them up – Use water to remove dirt that could clog the mechanisms.

  2. Lubricate – A quick spray of binding lubricant keeps everything moving smoothly.

  3. Loosen them slightly – Reducing tension on the springs helps maintain their longevity.

Prepping your ski boots

  1. Air out the liners – Remove and let them dry completely for a few days.

  2. Clean inside and out – A disinfectant spray can help keep odors at bay.

  3. Reassemble and buckle up (loosely!) – This helps the boots keep their shape.

Taking care of your ski clothing

  1. Wash according to instructions – Use a detergent designed for technical fabrics.

  2. Re-waterproof if needed – Special detergents can help reactivate waterproofing.

  3. Dry properly – Lay flat between two towels and turn regularly to avoid damage.

Smart storage tips

Best place to store your gear

Find a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. Avoid places with extreme temperature changes (like garages or sheds), as they can cause damage.

Storing your skis

  • Keep them standing upright or lying flat—never on their edges.

  • Secure them with neoprene straps to prevent damage.

  • Store them in a ski bag to protect against dust and UV rays.

Boots & clothing storage

  • Ski boots – Keep them in a closed bag to prevent dust and critters from sneaking in.

  • Clothing – Store clean, dry gear in a ventilated space to keep it fresh.

By following these simple steps, your ski equipment will stay in great shape all summer long. When the first flakes start falling, you’ll be ready to hit the slopes with gear that’s as good as new!

Need extra storage space? No room at home? uStock offers flexible, secure self-storage solutions to keep your ski gear safe until next season.

The post Spring skiing bliss: catch the last powder before summer appeared first on uStock Self Storage.

Spring skiing is still skiing, but with a few nuances to keep in mind to fully enjoy it

Make sure you're fully ready to enjoy winter to the fullest until the very end.

Skiing tips for spring conditions

Keep your body slightly bent and your upper body straight to lighten your skiing style.
• Take wider, smoother turns to handle that softer snow.
• Keep your balance by evenly distributing your weight across both skis.

When to hit the slopes and gear up

Get on the slopes early to enjoy the freshest snow.
• Go for well-sharpened skis, especially for those icy morning runs.
• Use a "warm" wax (yellow or orange) for a smoother glide.

Protect yourself and stay hydrated

Don’t skip the sun protection: water-resistant sunscreen, sunglasses, and a helmet.
• Drink plenty of water — the altitude can dry you out faster than you think.

To wrap it up

Follow these tips, and you’ll be living the spring skiing dream. And when the season wraps up, think about storing your gear the smart way. Modern solutions like uStock let you store your skis safely, saving space at home and keeping them ready for next winter.

That way, you can enjoy the summer knowing your skis are waiting for you, ready for the next adventure.

Book your storage space today and experience self-storage like never before.

With uStock, your security is our priority, and your satisfaction is our commitment 🔐.

Tips for worry-free van hire https://ustock.ch/en/tips-for-worry-free-van-hire/ Fri, 22 Dec 2023 13:30:32 +0000 https://ustock.ch/?p=33525 Our tips for worry-free van hire: what to consider before, during, and upon returning the vehicle.

Our tips for worry-free van hire: what to consider before, during, and upon returning the vehicle.

 

1. What precautions should be taken? 

  • Sometimes size does matter... Do not underestimate the volume you need: an extra trip for a few pieces of furniture or boxes is often a waste of time and energy.
  • Do not hesitate to ask rental companies for advice.
  • Book well in advance if you are moving on a weekend, in the summer, or at the start of September.
  • Check your insurance coverage as well as that offered by the rental company.
  • Check the amount of the security deposit as well as the conditions for its return.
  • Check with the agency what documents will be required on the day you sign the rental contract.

2.When you take possession of the vehicle

  • Check the condition of the vehicle (body and tires) as well as its cleanliness. Do not hesitate to make remarks about the initial state of the vehicle and to take photos of it.
  • Check the fuel level; in principle, you should return it at the same level.
  • If the vehicle is equipped with an electric lift, ask how it operates.
  • If you are planning a long journey: test the air conditioning (or heating if you are moving to Lapland), the windshield wipers, and the car radio, it's much more fun to move with music 🙂
  • Ask what to do in case of a breakdown or accident. Who can you contact in case of a breakdown on a Sunday or in the evening?
  • Check with the rental company the type of fuel and how to open the fuel tank. It would be silly to run out of fuel!
  • Specify the place and time to return the vehicle at the end of your rental, without forgetting any possible late penalties.
Find the secure and cost-effective storage space that’s just right for your needs! Check the dimensions of our units

3. When you load, drive and unload the vehicle

  • Remember that you are not behind the wheel of a sports coupe, you will have much more wind resistance and blind spots than in a car.
  • Also, remember to check the height of the vehicle when you enter underground parking lots, drive on narrow streets, or pass through underpasses and small tunnels.
  • Despite your eagerness, load with common sense and logic. We advise you to start by loading appliances and large furniture that you will place at the back of the vehicle.
  • Do not hesitate to secure furniture that might move or fall.
  • Place the heaviest boxes directly on the floor and the lighter boxes on top. We advise against the "Tower of Pisa" system, very beautiful but dangerous 😉
  • Bring something to clean (broom, cloths, cleaning products).
  • Remember to take a first aid kit and something to drink... at uStock we love you in good health 😅

Happy moving. Drive safely.

How to move a fridge in a clever and safe manner https://ustock.ch/en/how-to-move-a-fridge-safely/ Tue, 21 Nov 2023 10:30:27 +0000 https://ustock.ch/?p=33460 Moving a heavy and bulky fridge is not something you can improvise. Anticipate and make sure you have the right equipment and strong arms.

Moving a heavy and bulky fridge is not something you can improvise.

Moving these large and cumbersome appliances isn't easy. But as often is the case, everything goes smoother with a little thought before taking action. Here are some tips and tricks for moving your fridge in a clever and safe manner. Let's get started!

1. Empty and defrost

First, make sure to completely empty the fridge / refrigerator and remove all removable parts to avoid breaking them during the move. Here's a little pro tip for you: keep those precious beers for the end of your mission because you might get thirsty! 😄

2. Tape up the doors

A roll of tape will be your best buddy for this task. Alternatively, you can go for plastic wrap, which prevents tape marks but can be a bit tricky to remove. And if you want to add some style to your fridge / refrigerator, we offer some uStock tape that looks fantastic! 😉

Find the secure and cost-effective storage space that’s just right for your needs! Check the dimensions of our units

3. Move the fridge upright

Always be careful to move your refrigerator in an upright position or at an angle of less than 45 degrees. This is to prevent the motor oil from damaging the cooling system. Make sure to enlist some strong folks and use a vehicle that can accommodate the height of your fridge.

4. Wait for 4 to 6 hours

It's highly recommended to wait between 4 to 6 hours before plugging in your fridge / refrigerator again. This allows the gas to stabilize and ensures there are no air bubbles. If you have a modern appliance, you might get away with 2 hours, but it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. However, if you "disobeyed" during step 3 and transported the appliance lying down, you should wait 24 hours before plugging it in and cross your fingers for a successful restart! 😅

5. How to store it

We recommend leaving the door slightly ajar to prevent mold and odors from developing.

Happy moving, and may your fridge stay cool and your beers cold! 🍻😄
