Recently I asked my au pairs to share a favorite first. Some experience they had had in America that was meaningful, fun, surprising, etc. Here’s one to share from an au pair from Spain –

“New York City. Christmas time. Ice skating in Rockefeller Center with my boyfriend (visiting from Spain). They asked everybody to get out of the place while a couple was still skating. The girl was super nervous. #Marriedproposal First one I see out of movies. What better place to see it than NY in Christmas time, with my boyfriend! Lucky girl!! Lucky me!!!”
