I love so much swimming that I could be a fish in the ocean… well, I’d even prefer to be a fish in the Great Reef Barrier to discover all it’s hidden beauties ! When I was young, I lived in the United Arab Emirates and I used to swim every single day during all the afternoons after school. Then I moved abroad but I still wanted keep this habit.
To do that, I started participating in regular performance trainings. I trained during 2 years, and I realized that swimming was my way to express myself in the 3 dimensions. So I decided to continue swimming regularly, and I knew that it would be useful ! During holidays, I enjoy exploring the sea fauna and its flora with my mask and scuba. Snorkelling is so relaxing, and when I am in the water, I just feel really really good !
I usually rollerblade during summers. Indeed, every friday evening in Lyon there is a rollerblade night for all who wish to have a great roller time in town by night. Each week, two sessions are organized. The first one is for those who want to have fun, and the second is for the real sporty ones ! So I try as much as possible to go with friends to enjoy a good roller moment, and sometimes I go on my own to participate in the “hard” session !
When I was younger, I was praticing a more aggressive rollerblading : jumps, ramps, slides, and other stuff like that. Today, I keep that “extrem sensation” feelings with snowboarding, meanwhile, rollerblading has become a regular pleasure. Here is a montage of me rollerblading with my benforbestjob.com t-shirt.
I also love team sports, I am currently in a Volley Ball Club and my team is quite good. I am always looking forward to share good moments with them. Different kind of people, different ages (I am the youngest), but they are all very nice and fun to be with !Each of them has its own personnality and charisma. I enjoy chatting with them after training because discussions generally turn into lots of laughs.
This weekend, I tried some snorkelling and hiking equipement. I wanted to know if there were innovations on these products (snorkel, masks, hiking shoes, etc.). Here are my pictures while I was testing the products.
I have created theBenForBestJob.com T-shirt to show you that all the activities in my video application have been made specially for this one. Indeed, most of the others applicants used old photos from their holidays and it is not what I wished to. I wanted to start from scratch to prove my motivation and my determination to get this wonderful job !
I will regularly be adding some new content on how I develop my knowledge about Australia, Queensland, The Great Barrier Reef, Snorkelling, Diving and everything that is linked to the Best Job in The World ! Here are some very interesting websites treating about these themes : Best Job, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef
That’s right ! I just finished designing the logo for my blog BenForBestJob.com. You might see it somewhere very soon (teasing, teasing !).
I chose two symbolic colors, blue for the ocean spirit and green for the nature one. I added some bubbles in the font to fit with the blog. Also, for those who hadn’t noticed, the “dot” of the .com is represented by a little turtle, just a wink at one of the inhabitants of the Great Barrier Reef ! A simple logo, easy to memorise, and meaningful. I hope you will all appreciate it !
The “lucky winner” of the Best Job in The World will be living during 6 months on the Hamilton Island.
Here are some cultural aspects of Hamilton Island. Hamilton Island is part of the Whitsunday Islands in Quensland, Australia. Whitsunday archipelago is composed of 74 islands and most of them are uninhabited.
Hamilton Island is a little 5 km² area of sand, forests and hills/moutains, but remains a very touristy place due to its plane runway (open in 1984). With 5.000 inhabitants, Hamilton Island is the “Capital of Whitsunday Islands“.
