ABOUT ME

Hi! We are Sarah and Cameron, however we prefer to go by our super cool alias names: Sares and Cam.

We are a young couple from Adelaide, South Australia. We have a great many interests, predominantly music, travel, art and an incredible veggie curry.

We're currently embarking on a trip which has taken us through South East Asia, to Europe. We are now in Europe, slowly making our way East on an overland journey back to Asia and Australia. We hope to meet you on the way!

PHILOSOPHY

Our general philosophy in life is thus:
Enjoy it!
Be kind to people, animals and mama earth and you will be rewarded with kindness in return.
Keep you ears, eyes, heart and mind open to new experiences and laugh as loud as possible (even if you sound like a donkey......)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whilst at home we'll try our darndest to show people the kooky and creative hidden crevaces of dear, sweet Adelaide whilst making new friendships and hearing new stories.

As surfers, we love to cook and will always make a sterling veggie meal for hosts if they'd like one. Other than that, we think it's quite important to be respectful, clean up after oneself and help out, so we try to follow suit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted:
Germany's very own Anja Gergele! (Then we left the country...couch-less)
We have surfed with:
- Nico & Pauline in Lille, France.
- Lisa & Tomas in Ghent, Belgium.
- Anja (special mention to Lisa, Patrick, Sima and Marvin too), in Wurzburg, Germany.
- Isabell in Berlin, Germany.
- Lovely Emmy in Stockholm, Sweden.

And books.... the list is much too long and disorganised. But in general we enjoy biographies, stories of adventure, classic texts, philosophical texts and ideas, comics, graphic novels and the odd crime and mystery novel. And, well, let's be honest.....'you're a wizard, Harry' rings a few bells.
