THE WORLD BY THUMB
100% hitchhiking - 100% world tour - Since 2013 - By Florence Renault
OCEANIA
2016-2017
After hitchhiking a containership across the Pacific Ocean, I arrive in the north island of New Zealand in April 2016. I hike many trails and work for three months on a dairy farm, thanks to a Working Holiday Visa (WHV). I also meet my boyfriend Sebastian, who has been living in the south island of New Zealand for five years. In December 2016, I cross the Tasman Sea by hitchhiking a catamaran to Australia . Sebastian resigns and joins me. We work together in a vineyard in the heart of the Australian desert. Then we travel through this huge country to Darwin , where we look for a way to reach Asia. During my hitchhiking world tour, I spent more then a year in Oceania : eight months in New Zealand and seven months in Australia.
