Maybe some of you knew that I already had a family in Haarlem where I should start. But there were 2 reasons why I decided not to go to Haarlem but to another city, a city where I really wanted to go, a
BIG CITY, which was a dream of me since I had this idea of going to The Netherlands after my finished apprenticeship which I had right from the beginning of my apprenticeship. What matters are dreams and if you have the chance to live
YOUR dream, then why shall I take second best?
Of course, Haarlem isn't a small city, but one reason was the "family" and the second reason for me was
DISTANCE. With Haarlem and this whole Au-Pair procedure I connected so many things and one person and for me it wouldn't be right to go to Haarlem as I thought there would be things which constantly will remind me of that time. And about the "family", the family is really really really nice and soooo lovely and adorable, but I couldn't imagine myself caring for a 1 1/2 year old baby boy.
Yes, now you might say "Don't let any fear ruin everything." but for me, I just couldn't imagine myself with this situation. Maybe it would have gone all right and caring for a 1 1/2 year old boy wouldn't be that bad but for now, I know that this is not what I want.
About Den Haag, Den Haag is a big city! YES! It is close to Rotterdam (which I pretty much like as I loooove Rotterdam) and it has a beach in biking distance from where I will live. So it all sounds pretty perfect to me. Maybe it will be a nightmare in the end but I choosed it so I can't complain.
