Isabelle & Philippe
Having tasted the life of working 9-5 in Paris, we wanted some adventure, change and freedom! Having a common dream to travel across Australia, we decided to quit our jobs and bought a one-way ticket to Australia. With our 1976 Toyota Coaster bus, we travelled the country for about 16 months. We decided to create a travel guide and share our experience of road tripping and working around Australia. After a year and a half on the roads, returning to France seemed inconceivable! So we managed to move from a visa to another (Working Holiday visa, student visa, sponsorship) and after 10 years we finally get our citizenship! We are now living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
