ABOUT ME

I'm Sarah Jane!
I'm studying at the moment, doing Fine Art in Melbourne, and am really loving it.
I like:
art, music and friends
I like people who are:
unique, creative, energised, encouraging, fun to be around!
I like life because it is:
eventful, changing, unpredictable, what you make it

PHILOSOPHY

everything can't be okay all of the time, you just have to be okay with that

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I suppose I have done a lot of 'unofficial' couchsurfing and couchsurf hosting! Which at the moment doesn't do a lot of my profile but is something that I love doing. It's actually part of the reason why i recently moved. I wanted to have a bigger place so that I could host people more easily. I've had some people come over from around Australia (Perth, Sydney, Tasmania, Adelaide) and internationally (New York, Germany) but our place was so small, but hopefully now there will be plenty more room for plenty of friendly faces!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any 'official' couch surfing experiences yet, but I have slept on a few couches, and had a few people sleep on mine.

Over the last summer I travelled around Australia staying on people's couches (to Adelaide, Tasmania and Sydney) and have had all those people that I stayed with come stay with me!

In fact over the summer I went to Adelaide and stayed with a girl (also named Sarah) who I had met briefly only once! she was so generous and I had an awesome time with her, by the end we were great friends!
