Readers of The Newsport recently had the opportunity to learn about Clement Esso, a young Frenchman travelling the world to challenge perceptions and stereotypes on how we see each other.

His project, 'Out of Borders', brought him to Port Douglas in April. While here he spoke with a couple - Ken (French) and Mikaela (Australian) - to find out if their perceptions of each other's country and people were accurate.

Filmed at Rex Smeal Park, here's what they had to say.
