Tereza
Czech au pair in Texas
"I love how people here in Texas are super friendly and always make you feel welcome, even if you just met them. I also enjoy the mix of cultures, the big open skies (never even cloudy), and that warm ‘Texas hospitality’ that makes you feel at home. I’ve truly experienced what it means to be part of a family: going shopping with my host mom, making jokes about everything with my host dad while we make coffee, watching TV together, enjoying fun summer activities with my host kids, and feeling loved by them. "

It is certainly a very beautiful experience that will mark our lives and in which we learn many important things, such as being more independent, brave and strong. I am very happy because I have been able to travel, meet many new places, cities, incredible people and I have also improved my English a lot!"
