My trip in Australia…

I tell you about all I do, but I’ve never introduced you to the friends I travel and live with…

 Alba

Age: 23

Nationality: Spanish

Main characteristics:

• Cooks paella, spanish omelette and fideua like no one else
• Put vodka in her sangria to make me sick
• La Mama of the group: she’ll always take care of you
• Talks talks talks, but has such a lovely accent…
• Isn’t able to pronounce “Shoes” and “Wood” but says “Fuck off” perfectly!

 Beatriz

• Isn’t able to cook rice, but makes good brownies.
• Laugh, laugh, laugh!
• Is the DJ of the group: viva la musica colombiana!
• Would like to fly. She tried, she failed…

 Amadeo

Age:23

Nationality: Swiss (German side)

Main characteristics:

• Sweats from the head when he eats spicy noodles
• Never takes the easy way: why to go straight if you can climb this mountain?
• Favourite (and very used) expression: What the hell…??
• Snores at night, even when Michael desperatly tries to wake him up.
• Rarely without his cowboy hat… Yeeaaah!

  Michael

Age: 22

Nationality: Swiss (German side)

Main characteristics:

• Also called Lord Michael Tim Tam Double coat King of the Maps, because of…
• … his passion for Tim Tams (australian chocolate biscuits) and especially for the double coat one (with more chocolate hmmm)
• … his very good sense of direction. Without him, we would probably be lost somewhere in Tasmania.
• Feels cute when he wears Alba’s backpack (see picture)
• Doesn’t like to be taken in photo, and when you see this picture, you can understand why!
• Favourite expression(when going to the supermarket):  I take the Tim Tams!!!!!

 Sammy

Age: 22

Nationality: Swiss (German side. My God, they are everywhere!!)

Main characteristics:

• Doesn’t know what “having a normal face on pictures” means.
• Eat, eat, eat and eat again…
• … but only when Amadeo and Michael cook!
• Envies me because I can sleep in the car and not him. Ha ha!!
• Can provide wool to an entire village for a year thanks to his hair… that he recently cut. Nooo!

And also:

Shane, the space cowboy and Dan, the man who looks like 12 years old without his beard

Fernando, who promotes Tasmania.  Paola, who always wakes up at 11am and Shobi our Singaporean dancer.

 Jacques and Moritz, who always see all the interesting things (penguins, platypus etc) whereas our group never see anything… Frustrating! And did I precise that Jacques was yesterday in one of the most important German Newspaper, and in the Italian one? (If you look carefully, you can see his face on a picture taken during the celebration for the Olympic torch in Canberra). I know a star!!
