Hawaii

Image
It is already 5 month ago, when I left Hawaii to explore and travel more in this beautiful big world. And even if I saw already so many beautiful places, I think Hawaii will always be my favorite. I want to show you and explain, why it is totally worth it to fly so long and to spend so much money to see this awesome, beautiful and absolutely gorgeous nature wonder.. The beaches: Look at this beach! Hawaii has two of these awesome beaches (one in Kauai and one in Big Island). It's just awsome to see ! Hawaii also has a glas sand beach, beaches who are perfekt for surfing, beaches with waves who are too small for surfing, too big for swiming, but perfect for playing in the waves. Hawaii has beaches famous for turtles, famous for sunsets and of course... Famous for perfect colour water and perfection. Just stunning! (Lanikai beach) I've never seen so many beautiful and perfect sunsets like in Hawaii. Pretty sure once a week you can see a beautiful sunset sky! ...

Backpacker in Australia - 9 month

Image
I am almost here for a month now and it feels like several months already. I came alone, ready to begin my next adventure on the other side of the world. Without any plans or imagines. Already on my second flight, from Dubai to Sydney,  I met a german girl and we were talking a bit. She was walking around all the time and was not able to sit for more than an hour. I already liked her. We´ve got a shuttle who drove us from the airport to our hostel. The first days I was walking around more with my "airplane" girl, explore Sydneys downtown, the Harbour Bridge and of course: the Opera House. One day, we wanted to use the ferry to come to Mandly Beach. The first days in Sydney were over, we felt good and safe, but we were also afraid not to find a job fast enough. We were all sure we want to work first, safe some money and travel afterwords. Right after 5 days me, my friend and other girls from the Hostel booked a 5 day surf camp and we all ended up in one...

1 Month in the united states - 2 weeks Florida

Image
Right after my au pair year, I started my travelmonth. I started in Oklahoma and spent about 2 weeks there. At this time I also had a roadtrip to see and explore some other states like arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. In Kansas I spend a whole weekend to visit my hostgrandparents and my hostuncle. The last 10 days of my travelmonth I visited Florida. I rent a car, started in Orlando, drove up to Jacksonville and went all the way down to key west  (I know it doesn't even makes sense, but it really looked sensefull to me when I planed it. But when I drove down to key west, I drove from east, to west, back to east and to west again. All the time, until I ended up in the keys). Just to see as much as I can.  I slept most of the nights in the rental car to safe some money, except 3 nights to get some good sleep and a good shower.   During this vacation I saw places like Jacksonville, Miami, Hollywood, Tempa, Sanibel Island, the keys included...

My life as an Au Pair

Image
Since I am 12 years old I wanted to go to the United States for at least one year to explore a part of this world and live the American way of life. Usually I wanted to go to high school, but since this is so expensive I decided to go as an Au Pair. Specially for me it was pretty cheap. I have two educations with children already, what means that I have to pay less for the agenty and that I get more money from my host family.  So I got my way to United States and my dream came closer. I´ve got everything ready for my application, what is really a lot, and than I just had to wait.. and wait. (FYI: I´m with the German agency "AIFS" and the American "Au Pair in America"). After four month of getting my stuff done and wait until the agency accepted everything I´ve got my first message from a host family (my host family). It was a long, really cute message and I knew I WANTED to go to THIS family. They have two kids, a cute girl who was 5 month when I came and a adora...

What I like, who I am, who I want to be, what I want to do, .. After finishing school and my education (2016), I started to travel. I packed my stuff and lifed in a hostfamily with two children in the united states, Hawaii and worked as an au pair.
