I have been on the search for an aupair family for quite some time now. The way I describe it is online dating but an online family search. I have spent many long hours looking at photos and reading profiles and it has been a very hard time trying to narrow families down. In the beginning I was thinking I could stay for 6 months or so but realizing this would be difficult financially in the long run, I decided a stay between 3-4months would be best. Any longer just seemed like I would make no money and have to come back to Canada and not be able to afford chiro college later on. This short stay will let me accomplish a bit of my travel plans and then I can return to Calgary and work (not yet sure where just yet but this is the plan). With the daily messages and notes coming in from families from Italy, Spain, France and Switzerland it was a lot harder of a decision than I thought it was going to be. I finally had gotten things down to two families both in spain. In the end one family cancelled out and I was happy to have a family ready to take me with open arms.
I will be going to Madrid for 3 months!! I am pretty excited about the whole thing.The language barrier will be tough at first but I'm really hoping my french knowledge will help me a little bit. When booking my flight it was kind of scary but exciting all at the same time. I really have to trust this family with a lot of things.

Tu devrais pratiquer ton francais un peu plus maintenant que tu seras en Europe.
Tout va bien j'espere.
Bravo Shereen,
Ça va bien aller. Bientôt tu pourras nous parler en espagnole aussi. Peut-être si tu communiques avec ta tante Debbie elle pourrait te donner quelques consiqnes sur l'Espagne avant ton départ.
Ça sera une bonne expérience pour toi j'en suis sûre.
fière de toi en Acadie,
