Why nomad in Australia
Hi, my name is Sara and with my partner Mike we are about to set out to a true Aussie experience: go nomad!
Career and love got us in Australia a few years ago. Still, how two scientists born in Italy end up in a tent in the wilderness, on the other side of the world? For fun? Not really. Why then?
To live.
I have been diagnosed with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, also called Chemical Intolerance). There is no cure. There are treatments. But, due to the peculiarity of this illness, the only way to get better is to find a healthier place to live, where my body can start healing.And that’s where our journey begins. This country is too beautiful to keep it for ourselves and we are going to share its breathtaking scenery with you.
This is a photo journal of our adventure into the wild and its challenges, in search for a new home.
Will we find our slice of paradise?
