Which European city matches your personality?
 
Thinking about becoming an Au Pair in Europe? Here comes the fun part: where should you go? Sure, you could choose a city based on job offers, language, or budget, but what if you let your personality lead the way?

We’ve matched different Au Pair personality types with some of Europe’s most exciting cities. Think of it as a little travel horoscope, but instead of stars, we’re following the vibes.

The Free Spirit - Lisbon, Portugal

You’re warm, open-minded, and always smiling. You love lazy brunches, last-minute plans, and soaking up sunshine.
Why Lisbon? Colorful tiles and long walks along the sea. Lisbon is for dreamers and for those who love a relaxed lifestyle.

The Creative Soul - Barcelona, Spain

You're expressive, spontaneous, and always full of ideas. You probably travel with a sketchbook or dance when no one’s watching.
Why Barcelona? The city is practically a piece of art, from Gaudí’s architecture to beach sunsets, it’s perfect for feeding your creative side.





The Adventurer - Reykjavík, Iceland

You're brave, curious, and always chasing something new. You don’t mind being a little out of your comfort zone.
Why Reykjavík? It’s unlike anywhere else: waterfalls, volcanoes, Northern Lights, nature at its most epic.



 

The Social Butterfly - Berlin, Germany

You’re outgoing, inclusive, and love making friends from around the world. You thrive in diversity.
Why Berlin? It’s bold, creative, and a cosmopolitan melting pot of culture, music, and community.

The Nature Lover - Zurich, Switzerland

You’re calm, reliable, and grounded. You love a tidy space, clean air, and peaceful afternoons.
Why Zurich? A postcard-perfect balance of city life and alpine beauty. Lakes walks, panoramic hikes, charming villages, and chocolate, do we need to say more? 

The Trendsetter - Milan, Italy

You’ve got an eye for style and love living life out loud. You’re confident and always one step ahead of the trends.
Why Milan? It’s the city where fashion meets culture, and innovation thrives among art-filled streets and vibrant cafés.

The Explorer - Copenhagen, Denmark

You're curious, independent, and love discovering new ways to live. You value balance, simplicity, and a bike-friendly city.
Why Copenhagen? A relaxed, bike-friendly city full of canals, castles, and a vibrant design & food scene. You can explore classic sights and try Nordic cuisine.






There’s really no “wrong” city; each place in Europe has something special to offer. But finding a city that feels like you? That’s what makes your Au Pair experience go from great to unforgettable.
 
When your vibe matches the city’s, everything clicks: you connect better with your host family, settle in faster, and grow in ways you never expected. It’s not just about where you go, it’s about who you become along the way.
