=Becoming an au pair in Europe (total 2,108.45+ all outta my pocket). This shit better be worth it!

Looking back I think I could have found a cheaper program to go through. I'm already learning things I could have done differently and I haven't moved yet...

I'm super excited/nervous and will write more as I pack and get ready for the move. I booked my flight--my official day of moving to the Netherlands is on August 22. I just turned 22 so maybe this number will become significant...
