I still remember the time when I had my first interview to start my au pair journey in Europe. I was asked what my dream destination in Europe is and why. A 21 year old me answered that I would really like to experience and be able to visit The Netherlands and run and pick up some tulips. Even though I have never seen tulips before . I mostly drew it and saw it on karaoke backgrounds and calendars. So, instead of saying other things. I answered them with that simple dream. Even though The Netherlands is not my first country as I was destined to go and live in Copenhagen, Denmark at first. When I arrived at my host family's house straight from the airport. I was welcomed with dozens of pink tulips as a welcome gesture. My heart jumped with joy and happiness. Imagine the first day in Europe wasn't bad at all. And the rest was history!
After living in Denmark, I decided to move to the Netherlands for A YEAR through an au pair agency. This agency offers a lot of group tours and trips . and One of them is visiting my dream destination. The Keukenhof garden.Keukenhof is located in Lisse, Netherlands and a half hour drive from Amsterdam. It's mostly open around April until the middle of May as I remembered for spring season. As flowers started to bloom that time.Flowers from different shapes and colours bloomed at the same time and the tulips are the most popular one as it has an open field outside that you can actually go by bicycle and enjoy the field. It's like being in heaven. Heaven of flowers. It was really a dream come true for me. Imagine that since I was a kid I've been longing to visit this place. And the au pair program gives me a chance to experience things smoothly and I'm still grateful until now.
I will probably visit this place again and again if given the chance.
