Have you booked your Totally California Plus tour yet?

  We know that every au pair has a different schedule - and sometimes - as hard as you try to work it out, your vacation time just doesn't fall at the same time as your friends. 
Maybe you were hoping to take the trip to California, but don't have anyone to travel with. 


NO PROBLEM!  
We'll be happy to place you in a room with 3 other guests (same gender)

Read the story below to find out how much fun one au pair had on her California adventure earlier this year...she signed up not knowing anyone before the tour!

With just a little planning, you can take advantage of the Cultural Hi-Ways E-Z Pay Plan and pay for your trip to California over several weeks (or months).  Taking part in the plan does not cost you a thing.  Just remember...the earlier you book, the lower your weekly payments will be!

Meet Anne from Denmark!

 
Anne is an au pair in New Jersey who traveled on our Totally California tour earlier this year.  She signed up not knowing anyone!

Below is what she had to say about that... 


"I knew I didn't want to spend my vacation by staying at home with my host family and my friends didn't have any vacation left.  So, I forced myself into taking a step that I would never have done a year ago before I became an au pair -- I signed up alone!  Isn't that what we're here for?  To take steps, grow, get mature and independent?  That's what I'm here for and every step I take makes me feel good and proud of myself."

 

 



Anne's thoughts about her trip to California...

 
"I arrived at the hotel in San Francisco and met 3 other girls from the group.  They were friends - but they asked me to join them.  I was very pleased.  I had a great day and night with 3 girls that I had just met!  The next morning I met the rest of the group, and it turned out that everybody was happy to let me (and the 4 other girls who had signed up alone) in and explore the trip with them.  The rest of the week became better and better as I got to know everybody - though it was also great to have some time alone once in a while."

"I loved the trip and I'm so happy I went"

Trip Tips from Anne...

 

"The only thing I would have done differently if I took the trip again is that I would have gone to San Francisco a day early.  When you travel alone and meet people for the first time, you spend a lot of energy getting to know them (or I did) - that results in not focusing too much on what I actually wanted to see in San Francisco.  If you arrive on Friday, you will have time to explore a little bit of the city before everybody else arrives on Saturday."

 

"One other recommendation to everybody -- take a late flight home on Saturday, or stay another night in Las Vegas.  If you do the Grand Canyon tour and then leave early on Saturday you only have 2 nights to explore Vegas - no days.  If I had another day or had booked a late flight on Saturday I would have had more time to walk along the Strip and see the city during day time."
