We have made the full savings to continue our road trip in Australia

"You can't travel to Australia without working on a farm!"

...This is what I said to my boyfriend before leaving France.

In six months, we worked on farms of capsicums, strawberries, oranges, apples and potatoes. Each job was hard, but the potatoes farm was pretty funny 🥔

Headphones on our ears, mask on our eyes, boots on our feet: we were in a huge tractor and we had to sort the freshly picked potatoes from the carpet as quickly as possible. It was like a challenge! We work between 4h and 10h a day, in the sun or in the rain, singing and laughing. Sometimes complaining about it too, of course! But we stayed a month, time enough to finish all the fields.

And the best part: we have made the full savings to continue our road trip in Australia ☀️🚐
