Traveling is one of my greatest passions, for many reasons:
you get to see the places you have never seen before (maybe only in pictures),
you get to meet so many different kind of people who will wide up your
perspective of life and you get to experience so many unforgettable things you
would never experience if you would stay at home. All this gives you so much
energy for the future! But –as Peter Parker in Spiderman once said- “With great
power comes a great responsibility!”
When traveling as an au pair you will face many new and
sometimes even difficult situations. Whether it is a matter of applying your
visa, calling to an unfamiliar office in English or check-in to your flight for
the first time in your life, remember: take responsibility of what you are
doing! Take it as a challenge that will make you stronger for the future and a
challenge that will make you grow! We at Cultural Care Au Pair Nordics office
are more than happy to assist you with all your questions and dilemmas – but
first I challenge you to try to solve your situation by yourself. After solving
a problem that might seem insurmountable, you feel like there is basically
nothing in this world that you cannot handle! I often like to challenge myself
with new things that come around. It usually helps me when I think what my
mother always tells me “Everything will be all right in the end.” And that’s
how it has always been! There is not even one problem I haven’t fixed in the
end. Sometimes that might take you twice the energy to try to solve it by
yourself instead of taking the easy way out and ask right away, but it will
reward you in the end!
Traveling by yourself gives you a great responsibility to
manage things on your own! That’s one thing I love about traveling – independency.
You are the only person who can make
the decision to survive through difficult situations or give up. If you choose
to make your way through, you will be 100% stronger and more independent!
