  • 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)

      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!

    Your video about packing is spot on and straight to the point which I really appreciate. I’m going to study abroad for a year. I’m looking for additional information what to bring and not overdoing it. I have couple of questions and I want to know your opinion.

    How much money did you spend during your exchange year? Loved your video ❤️

    • @TylahAli
      @TylahAli  4 года назад +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!
