Gente distinta / Different people

SARAH FOX

Sarah Fox is a 32 years old woman. She has been an adventurous woman since she was 23 years old. She is a solitary woman, and she is called a weirdo because of it. People see her as a strange person.
She has always been a solitary woman because she has never had friends or a boyfriend. She has always enjoyed her loneliness and her own ideas.
She is a backpacker and she has crossed the whole European continent in the search of new adventures. The backpackers walk and travel by car for free. They ask drivers to give them a lift towards some place to shorten their way. This is very insecure.
Many people think that this is a very dangerous way of living without knowing what could happen and without having a stable life.
Despite her way of living is a bit strange and dangerous for moments, nobody can judge her for her way of living.

ADAM

He is Adam. Adam lives in Australia, in a big city. He lives near the subway station.
His neighbours think he is a weirdo because he collects train and metro tickets.
When Adam was a child, he travelled by train and metro to everywhere, with his parents and grandparents. Then his family bought a big car, but his passion is still alive. During the week he works more than he needs just to take the metro! He organizes his journey to travel by train or metro for a long time: to his friend’s houses, cinema, bars, parks.
He collects those tickets because “they have many colours and everyday there’s a new one. I have all there, in a big box. I’ve collected them since I was seven”, says Adam.
But, Adam collects his tickets and the tickets that he finds on the floor!!
”Obviously, I take just the clean ones. Sometimes, those tickets have promos, like 30% OFF on clothes, or restaurants."
”In addition I like the tickets because they show me how the city has changed, and even I can remember the people I met on the train or subway. I really love watching at them because they bring me a lot of memories.
His neighbours think he is weirdo but not a crazy man. Mrs Garget says. “I see him arriving a his house at 7 o’clock; in a hand, he carries his bag with books, and in the other hand, he carries a little bag full of tickets. Mrs Johnson says. “If I were his mother, I would ask him to move out of may house. His room must be a mess”. And finally, Mrs Hank, who is a psychologist, says. “Adam’s parents come to me when Adam was 14. We went to therapy for four months; I travelled with him as part of the therapy. I didn’t notice “anything wrong” in his mind, as his parents used to say. He just likes travelling, the moments he shares with others, the tickets, their shape and colours, nothing else. He wouldn’t hurt himself or hurt anybody else. He collects tickets because he enjoys travelling. But people have a bad opinion of his collection of tickets, because it goes far away from the traditional hobbies”.
As a conclusion, we can say Adam enjoys the simple things of life, and in our days, it is difficult to find a man like this.
