1 Month in the united states - 2 weeks Florida

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 key west, clearwater, the everglades and some state parks like silver spring glen, Ravine garden and Crystal River.


 Florida is really beautiful. I love the wet air, I love all the palmtrees, I love the tropical areas, it's just beautiful. The only thing I was sad about, was the beaches. Maybe it's because of a bad season, maybe because I just lived in hawaii for a year, but a lot people told me that Florida has beaches who look like the Caribbean. If that is true, I can tell you, Hawaiian beaches are so much more beautiful.


Good thing is, I love beaches anyway. I just need the sand between my toes, the sound of waves in my ears and the horizon in my eyes. By the way is the ocean water really really warm. So if it's too hot for you, don't think about to cool down in the ocean. Better take a cold shower.

About myself

  My name is Monja, I´m 25 years old and I am from Hamburg, Germany. I´m in the middle of my personal lifestyle experince. I try to figure everything out about myself. 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. I had the opportunity to travel around the states and to explore more then 10 differnt states. After that year I left to go to Australia, I worked, safed money and got a car to drive all around that huge country. After 9 month, I went to Asia to see Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore for a month. My last travel lead me back to the states, to my hostfamily who moved to Maryland. So I was able to see 6 other states within these months. After 2 years and two month abroad, I came back to germany and started my online university (2018). But I never stoped dreaming about m...

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...

One year online studies - psychology

Image
It has been a year since I started my online studies (psychology). The university is located in Hamburg, Germany and works – obviously – online. The studies start with a semiar for 2 days in Hamburg, where you get some information about how everything works and you´re able to meet some of your classmates. They send you all the paperwork you´ll need for the next months to work on, you have an online campus to contact other students, to see your grades, see the dates for a possible exam you want to go to etc. Some of your stuff you´ll have to study is online in an E-book – what I actually don´t like – I like to mark stuff and take notes and that is just easier in a real book. Most of the univerisity books are really good written and good to understand, esspecially if you haven´t had that stuff in school before. You usually do one module at a time, write your test (dates are available once a month) and start with the next module. You can decide on which module you wanna wor...
