Sonia, a happy soul, mom and sports enthusiast

We met in Brazil in a guide tour in Chapada Diamantina. We did not need more than 1 hour to get along. I gave her my number to meet me for diner but she did not text me back. I was quite disappointed, actually. That night, I went out for dinner and I ended up in […]

How did I find a job in Australia?

I am Charlène and I am the outsider of my family

She is my partner in crime: I only need to look at her to understand what she thinks, what she wants and how she feels.

First impressions of Australia

I am new, YES I am new in the country and I know everybody around can see it. I am still a bit lost in the transports, food menus and bla bla bla. You can read as many books as you want, check everything on Internet, talk to friends and still: there are things will shock […]
