Au Pair Experience and Stories

We all love to travel and see the world! We are open to different cultures and their people. We are trying to go with an open mind and widespread knowledge through the world. We are living the Au Pair life! This time my Au Pair friend and I decided to go to Thailand and check out the island Koh Samui. Our adventure started early in the morning in the enormous, sparkling and breathtaking city Bangkok. For us the city was just like a shopping heaven. But not only that we also visited some temples, got some Thai massages (awesome!), took some tuk-tuk rides and enjoyed the nightlife. We were not even at our final destination and observed already so many spectacular impressions. Finally the next morning after taking a domestic flight we arrived in Koh Samui. When we think about it today the first thing we remember is: it smelled so good! It smelled like happiness and easygoingness. Kids and Nannies were playing, dancing, singing and running around all day long.. We rented a moped for € 1,20 a day and cruised around the whole island. The price we had to pay was definitely positive for our au pair salary. We took our shoes off and got blessed by Big Buddha. We hiked in the unspoiled nature of Koh Samui and met people who were asking us in which month we are linving in. Also, nobody really knew where the next post office or grocery store is at. It just did not matter. There was a lot of trust in the universe. We say, that the attitude of the native people was amazing and the food was a cultural experience! Life is too short for not joining the au pair life and living in a hurry…
