As an au pair in Texas you’ll be living in the second largest state in the USA! To live up to its size, everything in Texas is bigger, from steaks, to trucks and of course the cowboy hats. If you don’t know a lot about country music when you head to the USA, after a year or more of living in Texas you’ll leave a huge fan! Most importantly in Texas you’ll receive a whole lot of southern hospitality and experience the loud and proud people of the state.
