In October, Wanderlust Exchange welcomed many new au pairs, and some host families came to the airport with their Wanderlust Exchange coordinators to welcome the new members of their families.
Aadilah - Different countries, the same warm temperature
As soon as Aadilah arrived at the airport, her host family greeted her with a huge bouquet of flowers. The flowers were not only a welcome to Aadilah, but also a sign of how much they cherished and looked forward to her. Aadilah took the bouquet and hugged the host mom warmly, as if she felt the warmth of home all of a sudden.
Our lovely au pair Aadilah also brought gifts from her home country of South Africa, bringing souvenirs from her home country of South Africa with unique local flavours: beautiful photo albums, scenic postcards, and handmade bookmarks with South African characteristics. Each small gift contains her heart and sincerity to the new family, which makes host family feel her passion for cultural exchange.
This heartfelt gesture from a foreign country made the family feel cherished, and also brought them closer to Aadilah. The family was pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to share their love for Aadilah with us.
Fatima - Second participation in the WE Au Pair programme
With joy and anticipation, Fatima is once again embarking on a new au pair journey after finishing her first au pair journey with Wanderlust Exchange.
Fatima believes that Wanderlust Exchange's group of au pairs help her to feel secure. While she gets along well with her family, she also receives a lot of care from Wanderlust Exchange during her au pairing process and gets a lot of good help when she is in trouble, which is also the reason why Fatima chose Wanderlust again.
While Wanderlust's partners welcome this old friend with warmth, Fatima is confident that her new au pair journey will not only bring her more growth, but also enhance the emotional bond between her and her new family. She is looking forward to creating more memories and exploring more unknown cultures on this journey.
WE team is undoubtedly her strongest support, accompanying her every step of the way in China.
Charlene - Surprise! Host child welcoming big sister with mum and dad
One of the most pleasant surprises for the au pairs was when the children from the host family came to the airport to greet their big sister with enthusiasm and anticipation.
Charlene's family did just that, dressed in a pretty princess dress and holding a beautiful flower, handing it to the sister who will be her friend, teacher and family for the rest of her life.
This heartwarming image is also deeply engraved in Charlene's heart, and she is always full of smiles when she and her Wanderlust friends mention the little ones at home.
No matter how much time has passed, she is warmed by the little child who walked up to her with flowers after her dozens of hours of exhausting flights.
Wanderlust Exchange encourages the exploration of self-awareness and personal development , and fostering of global understanding. We desire to bridge cultural divide and contribute to build the world with more trust, understanding and diversity among all.
