I send you a big greeting from beautiful Spain and I want to share with you my impressions of the au pair experience so far.

I can say that my impressions are truly wonderful. Spanish culture, language, people and way of life are something that amazes me more and more every day.

I am currently living with a wonderful Spanish family, I have the opportunity to get to know their culture and everyday life, visit beautiful places and experience Spain in a completely different way.

I am enjoying every moment of this experience and I sincerely hope that this is not my last au pair trip. ❤️

Hola iz Madrida! ☀️

Šaljem vam veliki pozdrav iz prelepe Španije i želim da sa vama podelim svoje dosadašnje utiske o au pair iskustvu.

Mogu da kažem da su moji utisci zaista predivni. Španska kultura, jezik, ljudi i način života su nešto što me svakog dana sve više oduševljava.

Trenutno živim u jednoj divnoj španskoj porodici, imam priliku da upoznajem njihovu kulturu i svakodnevni život, obilazim prelepa mesta i doživljavam Španiju na jedan potpuno drugačiji način.

Uživam u svakom trenutku ovog iskustva i iskreno se nadam da ovo nije moje poslednje au pair putovanje. ❤️

(Translated by Google) I applied for the au pair program in China through the agency Center for Affirmation and Development (CAR), primarily out of a desire to get to know a completely different culture and to step out of my comfort zone. I had high expectations, but I can honestly say that this experience exceeded everything I imagined. From the very beginning, communication with the agency was clear and professional. Every step was explained to me, from preparing documents to arriving in China. What meant a lot to me was the feeling of security, I always knew I had someone to turn to if I needed anything. Staying in Hangzhou was a special experience for me. The city is a beautiful blend of traditional Chinese culture and a modern way of life. I had the opportunity to get to know customs on a daily basis, try different foods, and explore places that I had previously only seen in pictures. Living with a host family helped me experience Chinese culture firsthand, in a way that no tourist tour can provide. The program is well organized and provides an excellent balance between obligations and free time. I had enough time to explore the city, travel and work on myself, including learning the language. It is this combination of work, travel and personal development that makes this experience special. Of course, like any experience abroad, there were challenges, a new environment, a different way of life and adaptation. However, it was precisely these moments that contributed to my personal growth and made me become more independent, open and confident in myself. I met people from different parts of the world, made new friends and memories that I will remember forever. I would sincerely recommend this program to everyone who wants something more than a classic trip, to those who are ready to learn, adapt and get out of their comfort zone. For me, this is one of the most beautiful and valuable experiences I have had.

Na au pair program u Kini sam se prijavila preko agencije Centar za afirmaciju i razvoj (CAR), pre svega iz želje da upoznam potpuno drugačiju kulturu i da izađem iz svoje zone komfora. Imala sam velika očekivanja, ali mogu iskreno da kažem da je ovo iskustvo nadmašilo sve što sam zamišljala. Od samog početka, komunikacija sa agencijom je bila jasna i profesionalna. Svaki korak mi je bio objašnjen, od pripreme dokumenata do samog dolaska u Kinu. Ono što mi je posebno značilo jeste osećaj sigurnosti, uvek sam znala da imam kome da se obratim ako nešto zatreba. Boravak u Hangzhou je za mene bio posebno iskustvo. Grad je prelep spoj tradicionalne kineske kulture i modernog načina života. Imala sam priliku da svakodnevno upoznajem običaje, probam različitu hranu i istražujem mesta koja sam ranije mogla da vidim samo na slikama. Život sa host porodicom mi je pomogao da kinesku kulturu doživim iz prve ruke, na način koji nijedan turistički obilazak ne može da pruži. Program je dobro organizovan i daje odličan balans između obaveza i slobodnog vremena. Imala sam dovoljno vremena da istražujem grad, putujem i radim na sebi, uključujući i učenje jezika. Upravo ta kombinacija rada, putovanja i ličnog razvoja čini ovo iskustvo posebnim. Naravno, kao i svako iskustvo u inostranstvu, bilo je i izazova, nova sredina, drugačiji način života i prilagođavanje. Međutim, upravo su ti momenti doprineli mom ličnom rastu i učinili da postanem samostalnija, otvorenija i sigurnija u sebe. Upoznala sam ljude iz različitih delova sveta, stekla nova prijateljstva i uspomene koje ću zauvek pamtiti. Iskreno bih preporučila ovaj program svima koji žele nešto više od klasičnog putovanja, onima koji su spremni da nauče, da se prilagode i da izađu iz svoje zone komfora. Za mene, ovo je jedno od najlepših i najvrednijih iskustava koje sam imala.
