My Story/ Wanting to be Aupair in a year.

aprilpixie

I am from San Diego,Ca. It is a nice place here. But I don't want to be stuck here. I want to be able to travel while I am young! I want to see the world. I don't have the money or the big college degree to do so. But I love Scandinavia! I know it's cold there but I know it will be worth it.
20 by the way.

I have been working at a daycare for about a year now and plan on working there a least another year for more experience. I also have to stick it out here because I started dental work that is going to take 14 months or else I would have booked it out. I am also taking more child development classes. I want to go to Norway the most, so I just bought a teach yourself Norwegian book. I can learn languages very fast took. I know Spanish because I am Mexican-American, took french in high school and was very good but I never used it, so it faded away.

I know nannies are the ones with more experience and aupairs are looking for cultural exchanges. I love working with children so it seems so perfect for me!!

I just wanted to know if anyone has be an aupair without leaving with so much money and made it though, in another country/Norway. I know  it's a risk but I don't want to stay in San Diego. I meet a Swedish man here too and he made me so jealous that he was working out here so young and was well-traveled before he got here even. I want to have those experience to tell. I also love learning about different culture.

I am not a good saver( shopaholic) but want to save to leave here. I was planning on saving to move out but now I have it in me to save to leave the country. I think I could only manage 6000 US$ to leave with. But I hope to find work before I leave.

I need tips for documentation. I have a passport that expires 2021 but I know I will need more documentation. I'm excited for this, I want to take risks and go beyond!
