 She always knew she’d quit her job and move to Australia before turning 35. At 33, a breakup became the catalyst: she quit her job, moved to Australia, sold everything, and bought a one-way ticket. Now living in her car and chasing a childhood dream, this French woman’s story of quitting her job and moving to Australia is the ultimate leap-of-faith tale. Ready for some stranger stories? Personal stories of love, resilience & daring unfold in this loveable podcast, as story-collectors Tim Reid & Jon Coghill wander the streets of Australia (and sometimes a little further), microphone in hand, chatting to strangers. It's conversations... with everyday people. EPISODE SUMMARY The Childhood Dream That Refused to Die Tim meets a French traveller on Noosa beach. From age five she was obsessed with Australia – the island, the kangaroos, the sheer distance. At 33, with the Working Holiday Visa clock ticking (cut-off at 35), she finally made it happen. Why She Quit Her Job and Moved to Australia At 33 the Working Holiday Visa clock was ticking (cut-off at 35). A relationship was holding her back from the childhood dream of Australia. When the breakup happened she felt sad for exactly ten days – then quit her high-stress event-manager job, quit her flat, sold almost everything, and booked a one-way ticket. No return date. Just freedom and the open road. Breakup → Freedom → One-Way Ticket A relationship was holding her back. When it ended, she felt sad for exactly ten days. Then she quit her high-stress event-manager job in France, sold or gave away almost everything, and bought a flight to Australia. No return date. Living in Her Car & Chasing HelpX Dreams She’s travelling on a shoestring, sleeping in her car, and hunting for HelpX and WWOOFing gigs (25 hours work for food + bed). Tasmania in winter was wild, empty, and perfect. Finding placements in summer Queensland? Much harder than expected. Solo Travel Real Talk Sometimes solo travel is pure freedom. Sometimes it’s three weeks in Tasmania without seeing another soul. She knows both sides intimately – and still chooses the open road. The Big Dream Waiting Back Home Her 95-year-old grandmother’s huge Provençal house sits empty. Her dream: renovate it, keep the forest her grandfather planted, ring the old lunch bell, and turn it into a guest house full of travellers. One day. Memories That Still Feed Her Running through the forest with her grandfather, learning every tree he planted, racing home when grandma rang the bell for gratin dauphinois. Those memories are the fuel keeping her going.
