Let’s face it : having the time to relax and enjoy your life when you are an au pair is like the moments when they write your name on your cup correctly at Starbucks. It almost never happens. But au pair vacations might be the solution and be the cherry at the top of your cake : The key to be a better english speaker, grow up faster and be proud of yourself. Here’s why you need to use those 2 short little weeks to travel in the USA and not to fly back home.
1. Finally speaking english ! « I know you don’t want to clean your room I’m sorry but don’t poop on the table to protest » Please ! Do you know what it is to have the same conversations day after day with your host kids ? With the vacations break you finally have the opportunity to meet other people, take it ! Travel in cheap hostels, party with everyone, you will meet plenty of awesome people and won’t regret it for sure. Speaking english with your host kids will be a good english lesson on the first days but not after a few weeks.
2. 1 year is so short ! What was part of your dream when you thought of living in the USA ? Walking down NYC ? Having a coffee with George Clooney ? Hell yeah ! But certainly not to go back home ! Even for Christmas, come on! You will be there for the next one. The au pair year goes fast every au pair will tell you this so don’t make it shorter !
3. Traveling in the USA will stay as a fantastic experience. That you will have so much pleasure telling to your grand children on your rocking chair against a fire. They will be on their iPad74 so they won’t listen, but still ! San Francisco, Boston, the Grand Canyon… According to some Geography specialists the country is wider than the butt of Kim Kardashian. What are you waiting for ? Take a backpack and let’s go !
Here is a concrete and precise idea of a successful cultural trip using your au pair vacations.
South Beach, Miami
My mission with this article is to give you the motivation to live the experience entirely. Going back home when you don’t have to stay and work is just to easy. This is in those moments that you will grow up by making good choices. So be brave and get that backpack on your shoulders, eat an organic cereal bar and go somewhere with your friends !
A little thought for Kim Kardashian as she allows myself to give you a precise picture of my thoughts.
