I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. So here is some information on the program I'm here in Italy with.
The program is called Romae Abroad. You can find them on Instagram, Facebook or just Google them. You apply and interview and if you get accepted and then you'll hooked up with a host family. The majority of the families are located here in Italy but they do have some in Australia and China now. Cool right! Once you get hooked up with your host family you'll make a contract for 8 to 12 weeks, depending on what you're available for. These contracts will also include conditions such as your family being responsible for giving you food and boarding and other things seen fit by the family. Your responsibility will be to work on English with the families kids or sometimes the parents. Some families are looking for more of a babysitter figure, just depending on what they need. You will have to pay a service fee to the program which is about $450 and then you are also responsible for paying for your travel fares to the families location. Which may I add is a way more affordable option compared to others traveling programs such as ILP or any Study abroad. Other than that all expenses are covered by the family and most contracts will include a weekly allowance given to you by the family for your services. AND... If you go with freinds you get discounts on you service fee meaning you get to live in Italy, with a friend for a killer deal, and you don't even have to worry about classes or anything, also did I also mention in Italy. Yeah rad huh.
The great thing about living here in Italy is that most of our cities are connected by trains so when you have some time off it's not hard to go and sightsee.
But there is kind of a catch. Right now the application age is 21 but obviously, I'm not 21. I'm being used as a sort of tester to see if the directors will lower the age again. They had the application age at 18 once upon a time but from what I've been told they had a lot of problems with younger girls so they raised it. If you are interested to apply as an underage applicant contact me on some social Media platform and I'll give you some more information and tips on how to do so. It's really been such an incredible experience. I've been very impressed on the communication offered to me by the program and I can't believe that I've been able to live in Italy for so little cost to me!
If you have any questions let me know!
