Loving Travelling Living

I suppose you all know in some how Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, he ’ s famous to have his own way of doing things. Something that really characterize his behaviour is his collection of agreements. Flatmates agreements with Leonard and Relationship agreement with Amy just to cite some. Me and my boyfriend are big fan of that Tv-Show, but no worries, we didn ’ t write and sign an agreement. We did promise each other to put all the effort to make the relationship work during the master program I ’ m taking in London (I talked about it in My Short Story ). What we came up with is this list : ·          One selfie a day at least ·          Trying to call every day ·          Skype at least once a week ·          Meet every about 3 weeks (we made a real plan) This is how our meeting plan went...

Packing to follow my dreams I told you my short story in a different post and what I want to tell you now is what I packed in my suitcase before moving from Frankfurt and finding a new place to call home in London. Between tears and boreoarctic issues to solve with the job I quitted to start a master I started packing clothes and everything I needed to start my master in London. I put everything in one medium size and one small size suitcase. This is my check list    Beddings (one set)    Towels (big shower towel, one medium, one small face towel)    5 dresses (business and casual)    3 pairs of jeans    2 pairs of business pants    One flower skirt    2 pullovers    5 t-shirts    5 fancy tops    3 button shirts    2 pairs of high heels    1 pair ballerinas    1 pair snickers    2 pairs everyday Chelsea boots ...

I ’ ve been an Au-Pair from February to August 2015 in Frankfurt, Germany for an international family with 2 kids (4 and 9 years old). The mother Indian and the father American. The common language in the house was English and the kids were attending an American/international school. I didn ’ t have a great experience with the family! I think the fault of this was the trust I gave to the truth of the answer they gave me every time I asked questions. One important thing to say is: they promised a lot they gave almost nothing! They didn ’ t let me talk to previous Au-Pairs saying “ we ’ ll put you in touch with them ” With this post, I would like to show you the question I asked, what they answered, what the reality was. I hope you will not make my same mistakes! You can value all the time how true the answers are and never take a job without talking to a previous Au-Pair Transportation How fare do you live form the train station? How far is it to get to the...

Mom I don ’ t wanna lay on the couch all day! December 2014: Graduation from my bachelor program January 2015: I was extremely bored and I saw nothing good coming to me before the beginning of a master the following September This was my time line, being bored doing nothing until the new courses would have actually started. I am not that kind of person that lays on the couch all day, eating mom ’ s food, and using mom ’ s money. For this reasons I started checking what I could do to make a good use out of this huge amount of spare time Looking at all kinds of job offers and internships I ’ ve been suggested from my sister to try to find an Au-Pair job somewhere in Europe, so that I could learn a new language, and considering I already knew English it would have been an easy choice. I go on a few websites and I make my profile. A few weeks later a lovely family sent me a message and we started a conversation that brought me to get everything ready and start a ne...

I lived most of my life in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy! Yes, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean. It is super cool and living 3 minutes walking from the sea definitely made my childhood special. Travelling has always been inside me and my first big trip was in the US during an exchange program of one year. During this time, I lived in 2 different American families (it was required from the program to change family) and travel all over the US in one month bus road trip. The big challenging trip is the one that has been keeping me outside of home for more than 2 years already and it seems not bringing me back. I went to Germany, in Frankfurt as an Au-Pair pushed to learn a new language, discover a new culture and meet new people. When my Au-Pair time was over, I decided to stay to improve the little German I learned. I found a job in an Italian caf é and with ups and downs I earned enough money to live on my own just doing German courses. In the end of my Ge...
