KM RIDDEN: around 1200
DETAILS: My WORKING HOLIDAY experience in Australia starts a bit earlier than 2007, right after my arrive to Sydney by hitch hike from Brisbane. I have with me my last 200 Euro. I find a job in a restaurant pub as a floor coordinator and I rent a room near by the center for 100 AUD a week. I have no days off, but I dedicate myself to hosting my guests from CouchSurfing.com. I welcome averagely 3-5 CS a day. Their company fullfill my life of other people’s travels and stories.
I ride the bike everyday to work and when the season gets colder, I decide to move up to Brisbane, seeking for a better weather. I rent a room there, for 100 AUD a week, all included!
I keep working as a waiter, but I soon feel demotivated and I switch to child care. The company that employ me is called Select Education.
Months pass fast with work, girlfriends (
) and the general maintenace of the bike, which i pay 350 AUD for, at Team Moto Yamaha in Moorooka, Brisbane. They really gave me a great deal!
I also invest 700 of my saved AUD to buy new camping gear…
The preparation for the Oceania Tour doesn’t take much else than that. I just write some mails to shipping companies, in order to prepare myself to ship the bike to New Zealand at the end of this trip and I also receive my CARNET DE PASSAGE AU DUANE from Italy, sent from my father.
So when the bike is ready and i have resigned from work, I am ready to leave for this tour. Just few day before my 24th birthday!
