Alyssa's adventure began in May 2016. After saving a lot of money, she decided to join a friend in Melbourne to discover Australia and work there. But then, not everything went as planned. From the first days, the two friends argue and the one who was to accompany Alyssa on her journey decides to set sail, heading for France. The young woman does not want to spoil her trip, so she decides to continue the adventure alone. New Zealand, Bali, Cambodia, Thailand… His expedition will have been rich in discoveries.
Her first stop was Byron Bay, a posh and bobo surfer town on Australia's east coast that she had always dreamed of exploring. She immediately felt good there, the people were friendly, smiling and the atmosphere pleasant. After a month there working and enjoying the city, Alyssa decided to continue her journey and flew to New Zealand. There, things were more complicated. She went there in the middle of winter to discover the magical and snowy landscapes that the season offers, so inevitably, the youth hostels were often deserted. The stages followed one another, the pace of the visits accelerated and fatigue and loneliness began to be felt:"I don't regret having wanted to see everything and experience everything but, if I had to do it all over again, I would take my time more. Every time I discovered a country, I told myself that it might be the last time I would have the chance to be there. So I wanted to take full advantage. The problem is that by dint of eating little and sleeping little while still running everywhere, I ended up no longer enjoying at all what I saw, ”she told Nouvel Obs. Yes, we often hear about the positive aspects of travel, but there can also be some setbacks. Well, all her adventures have not put her off because her next trip is already planned!
