JAMES – 21 YEARS OLD – FRENCH – 193 DAYS IN AUSTRALIA

James - french
Posted on 08/29/2014

10572245_680709852008598_9099449703673452075_o Here in Australia people call me James because Jean-Marie was too difficult to pronounce. When I arrived I didn’t speak english and after two months I really decided to learn english and practice. I had the chance to meet a really nice old teacher at work with who I can learn a proper english and improve it. This is part of thing that could happened here.   I like being in Australia but there is a proverb back in Corse that we used to say and I won’t forget it : You don’t leave Corse, you are only away for a while.’

Map The Unknown

Marco and Fran – Philippines/Argentina

Marco, 40 years old from The Philippines 🇵🇭 & Fran, 28 years old from Argentina 🇦🇷 Traveling the world full-time for 2.5 years. We met because of travelling. From opposite sides of the world (The Philippines and Argentina) but united because of travelling. We experienced international dates in many different parts of the world (India, Thailand, Brazil, Argentina, etc.), and we went through a long-distance relationship until 2017.

The story of Veronique – Canadian – 27 years old

I flew to Australia in March 2019. I have been working as a criminologist for the past four years with people that are at their lowest. And then, I realized I had the urgent need to think about myself for once. It was now or never. I left with a heavy heart and the world’s weight on my shoulders with one goal: free myself.
