Au Pair in Germany with The Cultural Exchange Project

I have been here for just over a month. The Cultural Exchange Project was extremely helpful in the time before I came. This is my first time living abroad, so of course, I was a bit anxious in the time before I left. I had a person with The Cultural Exchange Project assigned to me, so I had someone to answer any questions, both over phone and email. This definitely ,made me feel more comfortable about leaving. Since arriving, my agent has checked in with me several times, and is always available for questions. As of right now (I'm only 1 month in), I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to take a year off of school, or for after graduation. Great way to experience a new country!

So far, my experience as an Au Pair in Germany has been great. The Cultural Exchange Project has been extremely helpful, especially in the time leading up to my trip. I was paired with a great family, with many similar interests. Since being here, The Cultural Exchange Project has checked up on me several times. I have only been here for a month, and so far, all is well! I would suggest this experience to anyone.

I got to explore the Köln Dom and it was amazing but I get to see so much more than one area for 2 weeks! The people are so friendly. When they find out I'm from Seattle, I get lots of questions and comments about the rock scene! I came over to Germany with the goal of learning the language and learning more about the culture. My goals haven’t changed, I’ve just added a few! I am totally learning German thanks to being immersed in it. I recommend this experience.
