Au pair; noun. origin - French, late 19th century: literally ‘on equal terms’.
At 19 Kaina decided to snag a summer job as an au pair in Spain. This random decision to travel overseas for a summer gig quickly turned into so much more. This week we hear all about what amazing opportunities sprung from that one summer, THEN how when Kaina hit a major turning point in life at 21, she turned to travel to help herself come back with a renewed life plan. Spoiler alert: Kaina is now in her dream career as an environmental biologist.
We discuss:
- What an au pair is, how she got the gig, and what it was like
- Advice on how to still take the trip even when you’re “broke”
- Why and how she decided to take a gap year at 21
- The ways she saved up for her gap year and how far her money took her
- Getting out of your comfort zone
- That if you don’t like the Alchemist, you just must not have the magic
- More!
