The Netherlands
One of our biggest programs is the Netherlands program. When you think of The Netherlands, you see windmills, beautiful tulips, amazing cheese and many bicycles! This is only the beginning of what this magnificent country has to offer!
The Netherlands, or Holland, is a small country in the west of Europe and is completely different to South Africa.
This program gives you the opportunity to explore, as an au pair, a new country as well as any neighboring countries that you would like to visit, you get to learn a new country and a new language while living out your traveling dreams!
