Expectations vs. Reality
Before you come as an aupair in the USA you always have some expectations. That's great as long their are realistic!
The average expectations is having a perfect host family, lose weight, save a lot of money and travel like crazy.
What I did was I traveled in the first 3 month, so I didn't save any money. Than until February I didn't traveled anymore but I saved a lot of money.
In the whole time from June to Dezember I gained weight and from January to now I lost it again. I know two Au pair's who didn't gained weight, and i met now a lot of Au pair's! What they did differently? One of the aupair is a vegetarian and the other one love healthy food and had a family who only eat healthy food. I'm the total different I hate veggies and I love fast food!!
So my advice is, try everything out but not in a row! You have a year time to experience all food. Only eat three times a day and if you want to eat a snack just eat fruits or vegetables!
One of the first thing you should do is to join a fitness studio or something that has to do with sports. I'm going to the gym and like it to go climbing.
I don't thing the perfect host family existed! No one is perfect, so do your future host family. Turn down your expectations and let yourself be surprised!
