Who

Thibaut and Charlotte is a young French couple. They met each others in Hungary during their VIE contract and mission. After 6 months of friendly relationship, they have been together more than 1 year ago.


Charlotte FOUCHER

Age: 25

Background:
Master’s degree Audit and Financial control, IAE Grenoble
Junior financial controller

Language: French (mother tongue), English (Fluent)

Previous visited countries: Holland, England, Ireland, Ukraine, Germany, Belgium, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary (26 months), Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Greece and Turkey.

Few words about the project: This project is a human and travelling one. We would like to travel 3 months without job, or if any, different ones we used to (pick up fruit, working in a farm…). It means we took the decision to forget our stable, comfortable and security life for a temporary period in order to discover new way of life. It will be as well the possibility to test our adaptation capacity and our couple; we will spend all time together.

Of course if we pass successfully the first step, the new challenge will be to stay longer in the country with a  job fitting with our knowledges and background.

Expectations: First I would like to discover a new country, a new culture and habits. Then I would like to test my flexibility and my management skills especially for taking more decisions. It will be the opportunity for me to meet one part of my family, my grand parents's cousins leaving in Australia.

Fears:
- The distance: of course we will be far from France and from our parents so we can’t come back easily. Especially for my mum who has a sensitive health and my sister who has 2 children who will grow up.
- Jetlagged: when it will be morning in Australia, it will be evening in France so even the time and the season will be different
- Dangerous animals like snake, shark and spider: I don’t like and I am really scared about them
- Destroy the couple because of difficult situation

Thibaut REYMOND

Age : 25

Background: Engineer (INSA Lyon 2007) in industrial management,
Project Manager in logistic

Language: French (mother tongue), English (Fluent), Italian (Basic)

Previous visited countries: England (3 months), Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Estonia (5 months), Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Belgium, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary (21 months), Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Roumania, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Swizerland, Greece and Turkey.

Few word about the project:
This is a new step for us : New places, new -Australian- accent (considering that we are speaking English), new friends.
We will travel across the country with flexibility and following the opportunities we can get. And we have two constraints: budget (defined based on our savings) and time (3-4 months).

Expectations:
Australia is far, even further than South Pole from Europe. I am impatient to be there in order to meet people. Due to several factors (distance from Europe, size of the “island”, climatic conditions, …), the way of life should be different.
I like to meet people. We will be free but also responsible of our choices (planning, budget…).

Fears:
Two fears.
First one : we will be far from everything which is familiar (Friends, family, food, news…). The time will be different and the season will be at the opposite (winter in Europe means summer in Australia).
Second one : Shall we be open to travel for several weeks without fix place to stay ?
