Just the beginning...

I have been working with the Stir Experience to organize my au pair experience that I leave for in just about 2 weeks. I'm so excited! The stir experience provided me with constant assistance and opportunity that helped me organize my trip and find the perfect host family. I appreciated more than anything how often Justine reached out to walk me through the process, to check-in on my progress and to answer any questions I might have. She gave me a call just to chat about my feelings about the upcoming experience, and she provided me with tons of helpful hints about living in Sydney (where she is from originally). I had great skype conversations with my host family and have been in contact with them as my arrival date approaches. I'm very thankful for the stir experience's constant support and love that we have and will continue to stay in contact throughout my stay in Australia.

Update: I've been in Sydney for just about three months now and I already don't want to ever leave. I've made wonderful friends, am living with a loving and caring family, and living just like a local. Check out my blog at https://www.thestirexperience.org/blog to stay updated!
