I have been in contact with many families over the past week. They have all been pretty great but I found a family that is the family! This family is so kind. They have three very sweet children and they live just outside of Stockholm, Sweden in a small town called Sollentuna. I will be moving to Stockholm in September and living with this family for a year. On top of all of that I found out that with an au pair work permit I can go to university classes for free and all medical is covered because I become a resident! I am beyond excited to go on this new adventure.<\/p>\n<p>A year ago I never thought I would fall in love with a continent as much as I have fallen in love with Europe. I hope that I can stay longer than just another year. I know that God has plans and I am not meant to come home yet. It\u2019s hard to think about all the things I am missing out on back home, but I am so happy to share all my adventures with the people in my life!<\/p>\n<p>I hope to have friends and family visit and explore this new country with me. Sweden is a lot richer in culture than Switzerland and that excites me. I can\u2019t wait to learn a new language and a meet new family. I know that this family will make learning Swedish even easier because they speak it fluently. That was an issue I ran into with learning German. Not only did the family speak French but in Z\u00fcrich they speak Swiss German which is far different from German. I hope to actually excel in Swedish and maybe even become fluent!!<\/p>\n<p>Join me on my adventure here. If you have ever been to Sweden or any other Scandinavian country comment and tell me your favorite cities you&#8217;ve been to. I would love to hear from you.
