Steve Callerame

it was worth it and fruitfull

He had a tough time saying my name but seems like a cool person to me !

I wish you had stayed with us a little longer, Steve. You have lived so many experiences that letting you go after only two nights left me with a feeling of hunger - hunger for knowledge.
I guess that is what happens when you meet someone interesting, but it is kind of frustrating. After you left we couldn´t stop talking about how nice, wise and funny you are( I would even say sexy, but couchsurfing is not for dating=))
We have to meet again, awesome human being.
Cheers=)

Hello!!!

We spent 2 days together and it was really wonderful!!!! Steve, my darling you will always be welcome at my place!!! He is one the most intelligent and sensitve person I have met!!! He travelled in a lot of different places and we watched interesting videos on Youtube!!!!Especially documentaries and Charlie and the Unicorn!!!

Big kisses from Madrid...

I met steeve while couchurfing in madrid, we were hosted by the same personns. He was ever so polite and funny and fascinating, one cannot meet him and not immediately wish to become a traveller.

Steve was my step bro for 5 days when both of us were adopted and spoiled by Jadran and his big family in Opuzen, Croatia :) - Great guy, full of experiences and stories to tell, just sit and enjoy.

This guy...This amazing incredible guy... You got to love this guy.. person that i consider one of the most intelligent and most wide in thinking. A person that made me look things from different perspective and widened my mind in so many ways. Consider him my brother cause of his trustful, honest, amazing attitude and his pure soul. He officially became a part of my family and i need 1500 characters to say everything i can bout this special super human with tendency to become a banana king one day.

 

Charlie! :)

Steve is a unique man. As soon as I read his profile I had no doubt that I will host him, even though he wrote me a request in last minute...and as many times so far, my instinct was right! :)

He's a guy that left his "home" 9 years ago and been living to the fullest since. Smart conversations, knowledge about almost everything, same sense of humor, modest, not picky at all, just a great company.

I have no doubt that we'll meet again, my friend.

 

I challenge you to meet a more interesting fellow than Steve. I feel like I only scratched the surface of all the great travel/life experiences he has stockpiled somewhere in his brain. He was a great guest, and I look forward to hearing where he ends up next, and reading about his travel adventures when he gets published one day.

Steve's a good guy. I met him in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia and we travelled together for a couple of days.

 

He knows how to meet people. He also knows Soweto enough to go there by himself, and to invit friends to visit. Thank you very much for these days, with lot of emotion and frienship.

Steve is an honest man with lots of questions.Has great interest in various culture and is an interesting person to converse with. He appears calm but beware..... :)

 

Steve is a very friendly and helpful guy. Whenever he knocks on your door, let him in, and you can listen to great globetrotter stories. We had lots of fun and he helped me to write a detailed motivation letter for a potential job application. Steve, I will never forget your help and I will inform you, when I get this special job. :-)

Steve has a truly adventurous spirit, a ton of great travel stories, and a lovely dry sense of humour. Of course, he completely ruined his sophisticated-world-traveller credentials by getting all excited about my MacGyver DVD's... which makes him all right in my book.

(Edit: but then he regained them by eating worms and tripe, jumping off a really high tower with me and wrestling leopards in the Kruger Park. Don't be fooled by the mild-mannered alter ego.)

I've hosted Steve for the NYE 2009 and a few nights after. Steve joined us for a small house party where we had good Turkish food and had drunken conversation about art, we also spend a day at Johannesburg airport, which was "soooo much fun" :-) Steve is quiet, respectful and has a way of saying things, he is a twin soul in his usage of dry sarcastic sense of humour. Tnx to Steve I've expanded my library and have a few extra books on my "to read" list. Steve, you are always welcome back...

I believe Steve & I may have met earlier before Meru's do in Soweto. Nonetheless we enjoyed a decent afternoon in Jozi-Soweto, playing fuse ball, downing a few cold ones, playing soccer and yeah enjoying the good old South African BRAAI. We'll hopefully meet again sometime and share the little pleasures of being Earthlings! Happy travels mister!

 

After 8 years of travel, i finally cross the path of Steve in Tanzania and Malawi. Straight away, the discussion were interesting at the highest point. Steve is a spring were the useful informations and funny stories are running out. One advice: take your bag and track him on the road!

Steve is a well-seasoned traveler with a refreshing outlook on life. He's outgoing, deep and likes to drink beer.

The best thing about Steve was certainly that he broght me into Couchsurfers! You opened my mind! Thank you so much!

He is a very kind and highly intelligent guest: I was very happy to have him in my family and talk with him of any kind of subject,I have showed him around Bujumbura and He teached me many things during our time together; I can not find a good definition on his personne,I can say only that he is a minds opener.

A great rondome encounter, maybe we'll meet up again in Malawi! Very different view poitns on the world which always creates discussion and broadens horizons

Ah,Steve is a good friend,he has suprised me by one e-mail asking for my telephone number,the following day suprised me also by a call while he was at the gate of my country.Really I got a best time togather with him in my town and help me to improve my English Language

Steve was able to enjoy the time in the house even when I was busy. We had a mini-dinner the first night with a vegetarian cake made by my housemates, and he had long chats with them. He also helped me with the use of english prepositions... Very independent person!

Running into creative and unique people like Steve is a major reason why we enjoy CS and travel in general. We're glad our paths crossed in Tanzania and hope they'll do so again wherever. We were also honored to serve as Steve's official safari photogtaphers, documenting his whiskey exploits with many wild beasts.

Steve is a positive minded guy who realy loves to explore the world and listen to other peoples point of view when it comes to life issues...Steve mchizi kichizi kama ndizi

It was a fun night though briefly...it was a CS members night in Moshi for it was a group of seven, Callerame is open minded and i learnt alot about his home country from him.He is a person who will challege you for what you believe in.Am happy i got a chance meeting you

Steve is a really cool person, intelligent and very interesting to talk to. You just want to learn more about him and his experiences and thoughts on life.

 

It is unfortunate that I was not able to get out and about with Steve as much as I would have wanted to - he came around during a busy week. We did have long, winding and interesting discussions ranging from the litterary to the political...
Talking of his travels has made see that some of my crazy travel ideas may turn out feasible...
So Steve: thanks for the conversation, thanks for the pasta sandwiches and happy travelling. I hope to get together sometime for a beer and an other discussion on that gentleman's wager!

good guy enjoyed the chats we had

He stayed with me for a couple days and I couldn't have asked for a better time! He is one of the most interesting and cool people I've met thus far. There will always be a couch for him at my place!

steve is a super rad guy. He has loads of cool stories and he is fun to hang around. and i would let him crash at my place anytime

Steve is one of the most unique people I have ever encountered, I believe that perhaps he is a wandering sage in disguise. We all have stories, he has novels. A very fun guy to hang out with, I'm still tracking down the list of books he created for my reading pleasure. There will be oil....

Well It was one of those meetings that , you just clicked! , I just thought he could understand and "feel" me on another level, I would really like to meet him again , he is quite intresting, i met him at Maruska's B'thday party in Soweto..... Dude if you ever in Pretoria drop me a line i would like to have a drink with you.

yes yes yes we met! But now that i read all the marvelous comments from his references i feel ill. They just about used up every possible description available to me to decribe this dude. He is nice, friendly and i guess all i can say is he is open-open-open. He is not and will not be defined by any rules, he gives new meaning to the term "FLEXIBLE". Hope our paths will cross again and have fun in Swaziland.

We met for drinks a couple of times in Cape Town. Then I hosted him when he was in Jozi. Steve is well-travelled, well-read and well, a good guest. I want to be Steve! He's got the secret to long-term travelling. International man of mystery! Genuine guy.

Steve has great travelling experience, and lots of wisdom and amusing tales to share. He's a great guy to host, and I'm sure he'll be a good host wherever he lands next!

Steve was an awesome guest. He has some great stories and has inspired me to travel more when I'm finished with my time in Lesotho. Hopefully we can meet up again in Easter Europe!

 

Steve struck me as a great guy who is not only highly intelligent but also respectful and grateful! I showed him around Knysna for a few hours one day -we chatted up a storm and then helped him out two days later regarding some logistics of his travel situation! In return he insisted on buying me hot chocolate & two books which I fancied!

 

I was impressed about Steves openness to talk so free about US policy. He is a guy with a beautiful philosophy and he transmits a lot of positive energy. Thank you for that! Trust me Steve, we will see us again…

Ok, at first I did not think Steve would be as crazy as the other CS'rs that I have met... including me of course. We had a great time sipping champaigne, swimming in a rock pool filled with river water flowing from the waterfall that made such a peaceful noise where we just stood still... and listened. It was a good time and I hope we will meet again and continue where we left off...

 

You must be certifiably crazy after travelling for 7 years... I can confirm with a carload of people as witnesses, Steve is INSANE!

We spent one v.looonnnngggg, endlessly beautiful day together, crammed with engaging in mind-altering experiences like appreciating the "Magic of bubbles" at the Franschoek Champagne festival..driving all the way to Bainskloof to cool off in the the rock pools...followed by dancing,
ofcourse!

Steve..when does your journey end...

 

Steve crashed at my place for 3 nights and was a very respectful and pleasent visitor. Besides that he introduced me to some new interresting thoughts. Very good person. Thanks for stopping by steve....

 

Unfortunately I was very busy at the time Steve was at my place, but I enjoyed the talks we had, his funny traveling stories and his excellent list of movies and books! Thank you!!
enjoy Africa!!

I agree with the many positive references that steve already got... thanks for the movie list and all the best for your further travels! who knows, maybe meet you again in Africa for another drum session:-)

Steve is a happy person enjoying life the way a lot of us would love to.

I hosted Steeve for 3 nights in my tiny flat in Paris. He is an amezing traveler, full of crazy stories! do not hesitate to host him he is funy, able to talk to everything, and openminded.

cheers mate =)

It's always inspiring to host somebody who travels more than you. Steve allowed me to speak english and showed him my town, my friends and flatmates, my bars. We had many interesting discussion, especially concerning travels. I hope to meet him somewhere else in the world!

 

He's a smart man, increasing his book of stories about his life, and the world tour he's making. The bright side of U.S.A.

Steve is the Big Poop in the sky!!!What can I say about Steve, that has not already been said by the numerous other groovy people on CS?? Steve is great. A good friend. A wise man in training. Super inspiring. And I hope to be in his good presence again soon.

 

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev-O. What a man. How can I ever describe the guy who showed me what Paradise is all about? [Literally, the sign on our little island says "Welcome to Paradise," and it ain't no lie...]
After over a year of cross-Pacific tales, Steve and I finally met this winter on a tiny island off the southwest coast of Thailand, and thanks to him, for the first time I can remember in a looooooooong time I actually stopped. Stopped worrying, stopped stressing, stopped wanting, and remembered how to just BE. Hot sand, hazy sun, scurrying crabs, very few humans [quality, not quantity...], fantastic curry and only a few hours' worth of electricity each evening, lots of books, sleep, and Singha beer. Steve showed me the door to a truly relaxing, real way of being on vacation. But don't be fooled by the picture I paint of some pacifist humanistic yogi or anything...the part about offering to cut off my toe is real. He also tackled me repeatedly, poured water over my head when I thought he wouldn't dare, and tried to throw me out of a hammock and off a balcony. Yup, a friend for life.

 

He is a very kind guest: I was very happy to have him here and talk with im of any kind of subject

After long hours of chatting through Gtalk...

Steve is a crazy guru who lives behind the veils of a waterfall, in some far and exotic highland. As he blows smoke rings into the air, he'd weave words of wisdom through lucid storytelling.....YEAH RIGHT. I don't even know whether this guy smokes because I haven't met him yet. However, through our online exchange, he seemed like an interesting dude with plenty to share: bad Dutch words and what nots. Hehe! Looking forward to see ya! Your hot choc is on the way!

After countless of spontaneous sessions at McDonalds and a crazy trip up to Ranong...
The reason why Steve gets an Extremely Positive is because there isn't an option for Fucking A or Fucking Retard! One of the greatest retards of the century, this dude taught me to appreciate Dawkins, Pinker, Eggers, Tobias Wolff and poetry...damn! Just when I've only started reading Enid Blyton...

Anyway, after all those poetry reading sessions at McDonalds, backbreaking car rides with the crazy Ajahn, Dutch and Italian curse lessons and nocturnal lectures on literature, science and how-to-be-a-good-ESL-Teacher through Gtalk, I can only conclude that Steve is one helluva true friend, a treasure and not forgetting, the best arrogant kwaaaaalllll out there!

Thank you for kicking me out of my comfort zone and setting me on the open road again!Wouldn't have done it without your help!

Passion fuel runs only for a limited time...

Yeah.Take it from one who knows best!

Steve is one of the most fascinating people I've ever had the good fortune to spend time with. I'd speak to Steve about any problem and be sure to have more clarity afterwards, whether that be personal or metaphysical I'm sure Steve could sort me out! He's got a wicked sense of humour and is an all round nice guy :)

Steve,Steve,Steve...What can I say..He is a great person to hang out with,and he talks about anything at all.What really impressed me though,is his ability to adapt to new surroundings(which is proven by his extensive traveling experiences) though it seems that he just can't get enough of Mc Donalds =)Also,many thanks to you for sharing those tips on traveling with me,Steve.

We met for dinner near the Petronas Twin Towers together with couchsurfer Ying and two cool Dutch brothers Thijs & Bart. A cool dude who lives his life to the fullest. Gave me some good advice on place of interest near Hanoi. Love that Subway poem man!

 

what to say about this guy.... Strange guy, no just kidding. The first encounter was on the phone, me sleepdrunk and try to figure out, who is this guy?? The second one was a bewildered neanthertaler, who just came out the bush hunting. After i shaved him up and give him a human look he left his hole and stepped into the REAL life again. It's a shame you didn't stay longer. You two keep on travelling and do your thing....

he's a nice guy with cute smile...hheh..good to have met him in penang island....good luck Steve..

I met him with his cool travel-mates and other CS from Malaysia. Thanks to him that I meet alot of nice and cool people, all at once! We had some chat and I found that he is a very interesting guy and he amazed me with his travel experience! Very impressive! =D

Met him, his traveler-friends and 2 other CSers for couple of drinks! Had a good conversation :P He is very intellectual and speak many languages and his Mandarin is not bad though and maybe better than mine :)

Steve has been a great guest at my house for 4 nights...i even felt like having a housemate when he stayed at my place....he cooked amazing-tasting spagheti and salad..;)...we shared our life experiences and things we learned from travelling...it was certainly great having him around...i'm just glad to be part of his journey around the world...hehhe

I hope they find the 14 missing cats before Mr Christian Name kicks the bucket. Steve? Il est génial et je peux parler français! It was a day in a lifetime that I met with Steve in Andorra. I'm so stoked that I had the oppourtunity to hang out with him for the day and laugh my A.S.S off. He inspired me with his outlook on things and couldn't have found a better person to shove face first into the snow! I located my humour double in Steve and on this discovery I seriously began to fear for the safety of our planet. It isn't often you meet people you wish you could stop time for so you should take the chance to host/surf with The Squidman while his brain is still undevoured however be warned that although Steve is one in a trillion, he does have the tendency to share his 'Flashdance' moves with any given audience. I didn't witness it myself but my friends are still unable to talk about the experience.

 

What is the Squidman without the Ink. What is a the Squidman without the ink? What is the Corona without the lime? What is a country without a qualified leader? What is a shoestring trip without Steve? The answer to some or all of these questions can be found in one of Steve's 80+ CS groups.

Steve is a cunning linguist chatting in Chinese, English, French, and Jive. He quotes both Charlie the Unicorn, Ms. Kittin, and Richard Dawkins seemlessly. He is as wise ass a fellow traveling buddy, as one could ever hope to find, and still finds time to love...sheep! This guy is a good friend to me.

Steve (and his flatmates) knew exactly what I, a tired cyclist needed! He gave me space (literally and figuratively) and we had good conversation (mostly) in the evening. I also had the opportunity to update my movie knowledge (on a very comfy couch with great DVDs). A home away from home. Thankxxx!

 

Steve's travels are simply jawdropping. Talk to him about how he's been globetrotting for all of this new millenium, and you will simply be amazed.

 

We met up in Sapa. Hung out. Exchanging couchsurfing stories and experiences. Giving me local insights and tips on all of ASIA. Cool Guy. Thanks Steve.

 

He is a very nice fellow. Hospitable and friendly. He has lots of stories and experiences which helped me plan my own journey. He showed us the city and gave us good tips as well. A good guy.

 

Steve completed the karmic cycle! He did our laundry, including hanging it up to dry! A real peach, he showed us the ins and outs of the xe om and some good food too! He is an excellent host!

It was my pleasure! Not that the dude needs anymore references but what the hell...He's a cool guy who was a pleasure to host..and i even didnt mind doing his washing!
hope that the next step in the travels is a success
good luck!

 

Sorry for the crappy club!! Steve is a truly interesting, intelligent and inspirational bloke. I really enjoyed having him as a houseguest in Penzance. Wish we'd talked more...another time? (I promise not to make you endure club 2k again!)

 

The one and only travel addict. Steve stayed at my place for only one night and a couple of beers and some (little bit) strong rhum. Lots of respect for Steve, travelling around for 5 years or something. Still has to come back to try the recumbent and testdrive the partybike.
It was a great pleasure meeting Steve and hearing his stories of teaching English in Japan, his girlfriend somewhere in south-east azia,... Certainly an experience to have over as a guest.

 

Drenched cyclist. Steve, aling with Josh, squelched to my door a couple of wet weeks ago. They stayed a couple of days, dried out, and set off for the Giant's Causeway and Belfast. If you get a chance to enjoy their company take it!

Perfect host ! Steve and Josh stayed with us for a couple days ! It was a great pleasure to have them at home ! Theirs traveling stories are enthralling ! I admire you guys, cycling around with only a tent, your intelligence and your joy in life ! Good luck to both of you !
Dont't hesitate to welcome them at your place, you won't regret it !

 

When the Bronx meets Switzerland.. Steve is a really crazy traveller. He's a very modest & easy-going guy and my whole respect for his biketrip through europe.. Let him coachsurfing and find it out! You won't regret it..

 

Come on, it's getting old. With the aqueducts! Not only do other innocent couchsurfers bar Josh and Matteo not know what you're talking about. I still don't know why it's persisted in your mind for so long. Funny conversations! Have fun travelling then get your act together. You need somebody to whip you (though it ain't gonna be me).
