  • In this video I tell you exactly how to pack for your Au Pair year! Packing your life into 2 suitcases to spend a year abroad isn't an easy task, I hope these packing tips that I used when coming to France can give you a little clarity on what to bring and what is okay to leave at home during your long trip!

    Honestly loved this video. I'm about to leave for France and I'm trying to pack as light as possible, so this video was definitely helpful in helping me identify the essentials from the non-essentials! (I usually overpack for ALL occasions hehe)

      @TylahAli  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      LifeWithBlessy I’m glad you enjoyed! Def make sure you leave extra room in your suitcase. You’ll be buying a lot when you’re there and won’t realize it!

    • @TylahAli
      @TylahAli  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Hannah! I personally spent a few thousand but that’s because I did a lot of traveling and honestly some unnecessary spending.. But I think it’s super important to bring a savings with you of €1,000 if you can manage, if not there are always ways around it to save. But it’s important to have money to fall back on in case of emergency ubers, doctor visits, and spontaneous weekend trips with friends!
