I am still on my trip :) So far I am loving Italy. The family that I am Au Pairing with is awesome. They are fun and outdoorsy and eat healthy just like me. I have taken the train to visit Lake Como a few times as well as Milan. Both are beautiful. I will be going to Cinque Terre at the end of May and Hiking the tour de Mt Blanc at the end of June. I will be sure to update you more on those. I chose to au pair so I could make money while traveling. This allows me to see parts of Italy at a slower pace and work at the same time. My accomodations and food are all provided for me so my expenses are low. I only pay for my train tickets when I want to go to a new place. Otherwise I ride a bike the family gives me to where I need to go. I am getting to learn the language, see the Alps and eat Gelato :)
