Le Robert
I thought about doing the same thing, but my friends were pushing me to go alone.
I don’t feel like it, It’s beyond me. My friends kept telling me : “Lucy, you have
everything you need to go there : Your ticket, your passport, a bit of money. It’s
now or never.” So I pushed myself to leave. I took my huge backpack and ew off
towards the majestic islands of Indonesia.
This might seem weird, but what reassured me during the trip alone was to have
an internet connection. If i’m lost, i can use the GPS. If I feel like i’m in danger, I
can contact my family. If I don’t have anymore money, I can call my bank.
(During one of my excursions where I was alone in Bali), I realized that I’m out of
battery, out of water (nor) money. Near me, there aren’t any ATMs. I wandered in
the city streets for miles, very stressed out. On the side of the road,
I met a man busy eating some chicken. Desperately, I ask him if he knows the
whereabouts of an ATM. He signals me to climb on his bike
fi
I didn’t have any other options, so I climbed on with him. He drove me at an ATM
and I withdrawed the monney I needed pour the rest of my trip.I don’t know what I
would have done without him. He didn’t ask for anything, he ate his chicken but he
kinda saved my life.
Galvanized
While heading back to france after Indonesia, I was galvanized. I gained back
some con dence. Not a single moment during the trip did I think about my
breakup. I proved myself that I could do it.
Very quickly, I wanted to head back. This time, I put down my luggage in Italiy for
two weeks and I visited several cities, from Genes to Venise while visiting
Florence and Bologne. It’s funny but I say that I like to travel alone while in reality I
love to meet new people during my adventures. When we’re alone, we have no
other choice than to go towards others, and it’s always full of surprises.
In Italy, I came across two german women with whom I stayed several days with.
One of them came to France during the christmas season. She celebrated
Christmas with my family, in Rennes. I have already planned to go meet her in
Germany in the near future.

[Quite a fright / a slight fright
It was quite a fright I also had a slight fright. I was walking down the streets of
Florence, music in my ears music in my earphones, when I thought got the
feeling / it occurred to me that someone was following me. At this moment Just
then, I questioned it all everything, I told myself that it was a stupid idea to travel
all alone, that I should have been more careful. (To leave him behind), I often
changed sidewalks / I kept sidewalks / I kept on crossing over to the other
sidewalk, and even went in a bar to talk to strangers to pretend I knew people
even talked to some strangers in a bar to make him believe I knew some people.
He eventually left. I was more scared than hurt There was no need for me to be
scared about getting hurt.
This experience did not cool me down nonetheless Even so / still / yet, this
experience didn’t put me off. I always tend to think that a woman can do anything
they want in a foreign country abroad. I do not fell more unsafe in danger in
Indonesia or in Italy than in Rennes or in Lilles, the city / town where I study. When
traveling alone, we you realize that we you can do anything / a lot of things. I
would have never thought I could go up to people so easily, or to climb up a
volcano, mount Batur, in the heart / center of Bali.]
(But) / however it was alongside director Noah Baumbach that she gained a true
aura with Greenberg (2010) and Frances Ha (2012), which she (co-)wrote with
him, who by then / in the meantime had become her partner. This served as a
springboard to rst step in Hollywood as an actress, and then establish herself as
a director, with Lady Bird in 2017 and Little women in 2019—both of which were
nominated for Oscars in the categories of Best Picture and Best Screenplay (she
was also nominated for Best Director for the rst one).
Each of these achievements, carried out with inspiration and talent, has allowed
her to resonate with the rising feminist wave. So much so that Warner entrusted
her with the keys to the Barbie blockbuster—co-written again with Noah
Baumbach—which became a global success in 2023, grossing $1.5 billion (1.38
billion euros) in revenue.]
