“I wanted to talk about this fascinating people at the antipodes of our society. I worked 2 months in a “Road house” at the gates of the desert. It was a campsite, gas station, café-grocery store. I served aboriginal families with coffee, gasoline, and among my colleagues was a couple of painters from the Arrernte people with whom I was able to talk at length. »

Julie will show some photos of this experience, but what she especially wants is to share what they told her…

Traveler at heart

For her first trip, Julie was 8 years old. A surprise from his parents on the morning of his birthday and off they went to London by ferry.

“I remember the astonishment, as a child, to hear an unknown language spoken, and to discover that other people lived differently. As a teenager, during school holidays, I had the chance to travel to many countries. Then I discovered the film L’Auberge Espagnole, which later pushed me to realize my dream of doing a one-year Erasmus. »
