Released in 1987, The Joshua Tree by U2 is probably my all-time favourite album. I’ve listened to it countless times, always with the same pleasure and the same emotions. So when I visited the Joshua Tree National Park in California during spring 2018, there was only one soundtrack option… While I was driving in this gorgeous place, listening to these songs that I loved, an idea came to my mind: combining both experiences, the music and the landscape. This is the result of this idea, this is The Joshua Tree, an album and a National Park.

In the spring of 2018, I realised one of my dreams: I did an unforgettable six-week road trip in the American West. Between a very complicated beginning in Los Angeles, the discovery of the Anza-Borrego desert and the emotion of a visit to Salvation Mountain, here is the story of the first few days of this journey.

88 days. Every backpacker who ever came to Australia on a Working Holiday Visa knows what this figure means: it is the minimum number of working days on a farm to be eligible for a second visa. I went through it too, twice, during my first stay in the country between 2016 and 2017. I still have very mixed feelings today about this period of my life, but one thing is certain, it marked me deeply and I'll never forget it. Here's the story of my first experience of farmwork in Australia: picking strawberries at Caboolture in Queensland.
