Ulule, you and us...
Good morning!
To help us make the project a reality, we asked for some help through a crowdfunding website: Ulule. It's a website through wich we collect money and, in exchange, we offer something, check it out: https://fr.ulule.com/journal-terre-native/
Through this crowdfunding we had the will to create a group concerned by the A&A's project. We were in need of financial help but the goal was to create a link as well, to have some people following us, and towards who, we would be dedicated. This Ulule exchange is a link between us, our trip, and the one who participated in it's preparation.
We succeded to collect the amount wanted on the 7th of Octobre thanks to near 100 generous contributors. We are so happy!
Yesterday, the 5th of november, we met with some of the people who supported us on Ulule during an afternoon about Le Journal Terre Native. We were about 15, together, to share and discuss about the project. We also had a talk about what we used the given money for. It was for us very important to offer a meeting like this one and we're happy we made it.
We are very happy that we were able to welcome everyone, and we are touched by the interest that everyone have for our project. The sharings and discussions of yesterday gave us some great reflexions opportunities. Thanks to all who were there, thanks for your enthusiasm and your goodwill. We take in our hearts and backpacks some words of yours we really appreciated.
We also talked about the evolution of our preparations. We are vaccinated, we have chosen our trip insurance, we have created this website, got our international driver licence, did some health check ups, and we are almost done with the apple harvesting.
Currently we're taking care of choosing our bank, our bank card,... And we're starting to get our travel equipment this week!
It's decided, the departure date is set on the 26th of November, we're leaving from Angers.
