About Me!


I am a recent graduate from Appalachian State University embarking on the journey of a lifetime!  I graduated from ASU with a degree in Elementary Education, and while I love working with children, the thought of going straight into the real world did not seem appealing to me.  I have always loved to travel and I found the perfect way to combine the two: become an au pair in another country.  I will be traveling to Ireland in June to live and work for a family who live outside of Dublin.  I have created this blog as a way to keep my family and friends back home up to date with my travels and pass on any advice to other au pairs!

Twenty years from you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Discover.  Dream.
- Mark Twain
