After high school graduation a group of friends decided to take a year off from school and travel. Each of them would go somewhere around Australia and all meet back at Coffs Harbour, New South Wales a year later, to reconnect and talk about what they have experienced. They would just go, without any money, map’s or anything, and live on their own. Experience what it’s like to be a starving artist to live for your dreams, to reach for you goals.

The group included Eveline Franklin, Thomas Guzzy, Jayden Walker, Seth Miller, and Jessica Leams. Each ventured off for a year disappearing into the big bad world of it’s own… Australia. Each did their own thing, with no contact with each other for over a year. Each of them changed, grew up, and went from thinking they knew what it was like to be alone to actually knowing. Growing with such independence and then wondering how it was when they had lived at home with their families. When the year was finally up Eveline Franklin was the first back seeing how much thing’s have changed, followed by Thomas Guzzy, Jayden Walker, and Seth Miller. But the four returned home to not only a re-union, but to the news that one of the group was no longer with them. Jessica Leams had lost her life during the year they had all taken off.

The task was to experience life, learn new things, change your perspective on life. To learn what it was like to be truly independant, to reconnect with old pal’s after things changed. They felt like the found out what it was like, when thing’s went haywire. They thought they found out what it meant to change. Yet they actually found the c u r e to getting older.
