ABOUT ME
Originally from Barcelona (Spain), I spent 10 years living in France and moved to Australia about 1 year ago to start a trip which lasted 10 months. I'm now settled in Sydney working for a French company and trying to enjoy the city as much as I can. After this trip in Australia which included some periods of farm jobs and 4 months in the Northern territory I discovered that I'm a country girl and that I love this amazing country which is Australia. I'm friendly, easy-going and I can't help myself from liking twisted sense of humour and a little bit of a critic opinion on life and the situation of the world (everything's not "too easy", right?). I'd love to meet nice and interesting people while travelling.
PHILOSOPHY
Something a friend posted on Facebook : Everything that comes together falls apart. Everything. The chair I’m sitting on. It was built, and so it will fall apart. I’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. And you’re gonna fall apart. The cells and organs and systems that make you, they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. The Buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: Entropy increases. Things fall apart.
And I say, let's just enjoy this short life :-)

I'd like to get involved into the Couchsurfing events in Sydney and in other places I might be visiting.

I'm not a big user of couchsurfing but I've been travelling all over Australia staying in different places working as a woofer and I know how to be discreet and respectful of your own space.

Music, Movies, and Books
One of my favourites movies is "Lost in translation" but I love any good independent movie or an interesting series. My favourite books are those that I enjoyed very much as a kid (I was very impressed with Mathilda from Roald Dahl), now I read less beacuse I don't find very much the time and I think that I had an overdose as a kid (of books, don't get me wrong!). I love poppy electronics like "Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs" but as well powerful feminen voices like Kimbra or Florence & The Machine.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A diamond snake digesting a pride. The poor snake was so full that it couldn't even move.
Otherwise I've seen a lot of other amazing stuff but no point on making a list, I'll tell you if I meet you ;-)
Teach, Learn, Share
I speak Spanish,Catalan, French and English. If you're interested on any of these languages, I'll be happy to share.
