Trips for Au Pairs

DSCN0920Au Pairs have two weeks of paid vacation each year in America and a month of travel after they complete their au pair program.  The Suffolk County cluster of Au Pair in America gathered this past Sunday to see a presentation by Tommy McNamara, a tour guide with Trek America.

The au pairs learned about cross country trips, long and short trips, and how Trek America travels. With over 40 years’ experience showing groups of travelers the USA, Canada, Alaska and Central America, Trek America knows a thing or two about putting on a good show and today they are the leaders in small group tours across North America.  Check out this video from Trek America!
