Im interested in becoming an au pair but would be completely sold if I didn't have to go alone! Is there a program that anyone knows of that allows you to live with a friend or something that would at least make sure you are in the same area as a friend?
The best you could hope for is a family that wants two au pairs.
Otherwise au pairs don't really have any choice, it's not like the agency can find families in the same neighborhood just for you two.
And most au pairs I know are really quite brave and daring souls that don't need existing friends in their host country. They go out and explore! I have two friends here that ended up staying, studying, living with their [non-host] boyfriends and getting pregnant :) Young Europeans all of them.
And the host families don't always accept the girls they get, or the girls don't like the families. The girls get new hosts, but on short notice they have little choice in their placement.
