当你经历了长大,学习,毕业工作之后,你是否在25岁感到迷茫,是继续迷茫下去,随波逐流。还是给自己放空,让自己清楚得知道自己想要的是什么?看看这两个主人公是怎么做的?


Alethe: Yes, I am Australian however my name is French. My mum’s sister was living in Switzerland when I was born so my name is Swiss French.


 


Maura: Oh, OK. Yeah, that’s an interesting point because our accents are a little bit different. If you listen to this podcast regularly you usually hear Canadian, North American accents but you do not have a Canadian accent.


 


Alethe: No, I have no Canadian in me. I was born in Australia, and have always lived in Australia. However I like to take little side kicks everywhere I go.


 


Maura: So you’re from Australia but you’re in Canada. So, how did you end up here?


 


Alethe: Well, I had a mid-life crisis 1 at 25 and decided 2 I wanted to go and travel the world.


 


Maura: OK, yeah, I think a lot of Australians travel.


 


Alethe: Yes.


 


Maura: They’re everywhere around the world.


 


Alethe: Yes. It’s a very common thing for Australians. We finish high school, we go to university, we work for a couple of years and then we travel.


 


Maura: It’s almost like a rite 3 of passage.


 


Alethe: Yes.


 


Maura: OK cool. So, you did that. You went to school, you worked and then you decided that you wanted to do a trip around the world, right? You are doing a trip right now around the world, right?


 


Alethe: Yes, of course.
