Why

The project has started in a restaurant in Budapest : “Why not going to Australia after our job in Hungary ?”

This was the starting point. Then we have benchark this idea :

Why Travelling ?

• Both contracts are over end of September 2009
• The economical situation is difficult in 2009. All international companies freeze their recruitment for months. Therefore, It would have been difficult to find a good position in fall 2009. We hope we find more opportunities in 2010.
• Our experience in Hungary is over and we did not want to come back in France now. So we have chosen an other foreign country as next destination.
• We are completely free without any financial and family constraint like credit, house or children So, we don’t have to consider any material issue.
• We are 25 years old and it is time for us to enjoy and travel before to build a stable family life
• We are young, we will be able to travel only with backpack, jumping from one young hostel to another

Why Australia ?

• As we are fluent in English, the integration within local life should be easy.
• Charlotte has some relatives close to Melbourne and she has never met them so it will be the opportunity to know them
• Thibaut wanted to do Backpack in Europe, but he has already seen several main spots. So other place has to be found
• Australian and American young people travel around Europe for months. But as French, why not doing the same than them in Australia ?
  We know it is less common to do it for European people as when you get your degree, the first objective is to find a "good" job. Considering we will travel only few months, we think that we have to do it now and then find something more stable.
• We have the chance to be French and to have the possibility to get easily a “Working Holidays Visa” for one year in Australia
