If you’ve followed my stories for a while, you know that i’m a sucker for roadtrips. So why would my favourite trip be any different? This is the story of how i met my best friend.
After living in Madagascar, I flew to Australia to see the east coast. On my way up from Melbourne, i Stopped in Byron bay and met Mathilde. She would end up becoming one of my closest friends. The thing about these trips, is that they make you realise things about yourself and the people around you. You start to appreciate the people who give you energy and make you dream bigger.
I had just moved out of an apartment in Melbourne, to live in a van. So meeting mathilde, meant i had to rearrange my plans. But i was so excited to have a travel buddy, that I didn’t mind staying in hostels and living for the sunrises.
As we drove north from Byron Bay, we headed to Airlie Beach. The lAnd based town, giving access to the Whitsunday islands. We booked a flight to fly over the Great Barrier Reef. It was the experience of a lifetime.
