What were you doing in your homecountry before you came to Australia ?


I was a student and then looking for a job.




Why Australia ?


I came to Australia because I wanted an English-speaking country, and to go as far as possible (and I had friends living there)…
As I couldn’t find a job in Australia from France, I decided to just come !

To be reminded that trams also run on the other side of the road…I took the wrong one and it took me fifteen minutes to realize my mistake…

If you were to do it again, what would you change ?


I would try to see more things.
