My experience as an au pair has been fantastic so far. But let me start at the beginning. When I started organizing everything and getting information, I was immediately impressed by the great support from Chile Inside. My contact person always answered questions immediately, no matter how trivial they seemed …
Hola. My name is Marlene, I’m 18 years old and I’ve been an au pair in Chile for almost 3 months. My host family consists of mom, dad, a 2 year old girl and two boys, 4 and 5 years old. We live here in Chicureo, about 20 km outside of Santiago …
Conclusion, I would visit it again because it is a beautiful country and I have only had positive experiences. Be it with humans as well as with animals.
First of all: Costa Rica as a travel destination is highly recommended! Especially for me as a biology student, besides the open-minded population, the world’s largest biodiversity and the most diverse vegetation zones such as mountains, dry forest, rain or cloud forest are simply stunning!
Nayeli has become my little sister and nothing can change that. And when she falls asleep in the evening with the words “I love you, big sister”, I know that I have made the right decision. Then I am sure that my year in Chile is a unique experience that I would not exchange for anything in the world despite some depths and challenges.
My time at the hostel in Arica in February / March 2016 was totally impressive! The owners of the hostel – Ross from New Zealand and Beatriz from Arica – were in my advanced age, very nice and relaxed even in the biggest hustle and bustle.
All in all we enjoyed our stay with South America Inside in Cusco. Remarkable was the care and interest that the staff showed from the beginning on and also before our arrival. Therefore we warmly recommend this organization! Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to have you as our contact person.
As a heads up I can only say that during my trip I had so many new experiences and impressions … It was amazing! So, I will tell you one by one:
I would like to emphasize in particular, that the family who runs the sanctuary does so with a lot of dedication and love for the animals, they work day to day! They were always available and very helpful so that with the time we developed a really good relationship. All I can say is, that this was a wonderful trip with lots of fun and interesting experiences. I am sure that in the future I will return to South America.
I will never regret that I decided to go for 7 month to Pichilemu. It was the best time of my life. I do not regret anything! With many people, I keep contact and we text almost every day. I am pleased to have made this experience.
Many thanks to Chile Inside for this perfect arrangement. But also to the team of the language school and my surfing school for this unforgettable time!!
