Wanderlust Culture Home-stay English Teaching Program

Being an au pair in China is a really good way to experience life there. You get to live with a Chinese family, which means you're surrounded by the culture every day. I got to travel, try a lot of new food, and learn about their customs up close. Living with a Chinese family helped me understand their lifestyle better and made the whole experience more meaningful. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that you might feel a bit alone at first—you have to figure things out on your own, like exploring your neighborhood and getting used to everything but finding other au pairs nearby makes a big difference and can turn the experience into something really fun and memorable.

Going to a new country, living in a house with people from other culture and experiencing a whole different daily life from what you're used to can be very challenging, but it is absolutely worth the benefits you can enjoy by joining this program. I stayed in Beijing for 3 months, besides exploring the city, learning chinese language and trying new cuisine i had a chance to connect with locals and learn more about their lifestyle. Teaching experience is so worth it and fulfilling, you're not only a language teacher but so much more! I'm continuing my program in Harbin now. Creating many positive and unforgettable memories through this program! The families and WE are both there to support us through difficult times. If you are looking for a chance to travel to china or just gain more teaching experience abroad I would suggest this program!

When I first arrived in China in October 2024 I was afraid it would not work out, but it was everything that I wanted and more. I met lovely families and lovely children and had lovely support from Wanderlust Exchange. It was truly amazing to experience different cultures and different ways of living.
