Update

It took a while, but I've finally filled in all the papers for TravelActive. I wrote a motivation letter, made a PowerPoint about me and got a medical report signed by my doctor. Besides that I've filled in about 10 pages full of questions about me and the things I want/expect as an au pair.

I sent everything last Friday, so I hope it has arrived now. And if it didn't.. well, I copied everything, so if I got lost or something, then I can send everything again without much effort haha.

I also got a job! Yeah, unfortunately travelling costs much. And though I do have the money, I could still use some extra money. Effect: Me, working 5 days a week, for about two months. Call me a moneymaker!

Oh, I forgot to tell what my job is: do you know the 'Archeon'? That's a theme park, about the past. You can find the prehistory, the Middle Ages and things from the Roman times and stuff. I can tell you that I wasn't planning on looking like some medieval person. So I didn't. I work in the restaurant! It's the only place in the park where you're allowed to wear 'modern' clothing haha. It's tough work sometimes, but I have nice colleagues, so it's not too bad! And the wage is not too bad either ;)

If I'm not mistaken, TravelActive is going to go find a host family for me now, or as soon as they've received my papers. I'll let you know when they've found one for me, I can't wait!
