What were you grateful for this week?
This week I was grateful for how generous and kind my family is! They always make sure I am comfortable, and ensure I feel included in whatever is going on. I truly feel like I am part of the family.

 

What was the most difficult or challenging part of this week?
Missing my family, homesickness hit me a lot harder than I expected. But I think it had a lot to do with my jet lag.

Tell us about your week!

This week was such an amazing start to my adventure in Italy! My host family is so friendly and kind and they live in the prettiest place! 

 

The second day I was here I was able to meet up with the other Au Pairs and they showed me around the city and showed me how to use the train system. It is so fun having friends here! We also were able to go to Milan and Lake Como the next two days, where we shopped, saw the Duomo, and of course ate lots of Gelato. We were even able to eat a Gelataria that Kim K. and Kanye ate at, so essentially we are all famous now. 

It is so amazing to walk around and look at all of the architecture, it is so beautiful and rich with history, M and I found this cute little last minute hotel to stay in Milan and it was so close to the Duomo! Plus we were close to the other C and J who were staying in another hotel near by.

The food here is incredible, I have really enjoyed full on experiencing the culture and having such amazing people to do it with! I am so pumped to see what the next 9 weeks hold and all of the amazing people have met and am going to meet on this adventure!
