Personal project

• Australia

• Working holiday

  • Feb 2006 - Dec 2006

  During 10 months I've travelled around Australia starting from Canberra where I use to practice diverse jobs to save money and purchase a traveling van. My partner's and I ambition was to drive all around the country and stop by several spots to work and refill our budget according to our expenses and wishes. Various experiences enriched that almost a year long trip such as: - Carpenter at Canberra's Alliance Française - Delivery boy at Brindabella books - Picking fruit labor in a farm nearby Swan Hill in Victoria - Steward for Ronin Films production team at Kalkarindji festival. - Canoe shed employee at Nitmiluk national parc This trip led us to drive all around the East half of Australia and was both a very rich natural and human experience that allowed us in various middles such as aborigenes communities, huge farms or busy artistic exhibitions in the capital where I could adapt to each environment and people.
