WHO AM I ?

Hello and welcome, 

I am Nineteen years old and am at a time in my life where I am ready for a challenge. I am ready to take on the world and see all that it has to offer. I have always had an urge to travel and see different places but never really fully committed to it. It was always just an idea in my head that I would think about and would hope that one day I would be ready to travel the world on my own. Now Let's just say I am not the best person when it comes to cooking or babysitting or even making decisions. I am always asking for help or asking people to do it for me. It's been that way ever since I was born. I have two sisters who are older than me and having them worked out to my advantage ... or so I thought but then there was those times when I wanted to make something as simple as a grilled cheese sand which and burned it or there was that time I wasn't sure if I should wipe snow of my windshield ... that was a very bad decision on my part .. lets just say if you don't like my driving get off the sidewalk.Being nineteen I still have those moments .. I mean I still can't make grilled cheese or pancakes and when it comes to decision making I am improving only slightly. So as you can imagine neither of my parents felt it was a very good choice for me to go backpacking by myself and that's when I had this idea to become an au-pair. It's where you become a nanny to a family abroad. You take on tasks like cooking,cleaning, watching the children and basic tasks around the house. Now being me and the incompetence that rains over me I thought to myself this seems like a great way for me to see the world and work on my skills that to most people seem easy and can pick up them very quickly but to me it's the complete opposite. 

I leave March 1st to Cologne Germany. I am going to live with a family and be their au-pair for a year. I wanted to create a blog that would let me share my adventure and the life of an au-pair.
