From Elena and Andy Freiburg, Germany Oct 12 Positive hey viktor, how are you :) we had a exciting stay at your room with your friend. Thank you for everything
cheers
From Caitlin and Darrin Nashville, United States Aug 12 Positive victor and becky were very fun. they came all the way to tn for the rc cola/moonpie festival. gotta love it. and that dude can drink some beer.
From Scotch Oshima Los Angeles, United States Aug 10 Positive Sir Victor was the first person I met of CS (basically, he stole my virginity). He threw me on the handles of his bike and so began a tumultuous bike adventure through the free beer of gallery openings, graffiti murals, strange centralized neighborhoods with too many roses, front porches and backyard bathroom breaks -- all to the sounds of country. Ended the night with habanero cheese of neighbors and cookies. Yessir, a glorious night.
From Allie Bonczkowski and Amar Shah Belfast, United Kingdom Jul 8 Positive Victor taught me the meaning of fun.
Particularly, improvising blues guitar never worked for me until V pulled out a second-hand Stella and lay down a groove. That's all it took.
Beckey was cool. Major props to her for keeping the vibe mellow. And thanks to both of you for checking out Louisville and giving us a Thumbs Up. Right back atcha.
From Brian Lane Murfreesboro, United States Jul 5 Positive Victor and Becky surfed my place one night and we talked alot and ate Mexican. I had a great time with them and look forward to seeing them when I get into Portland. Hope the rest of your trip went well!
From Jessica, Carrie, Anne, Rita Hunt Saint Louis, United States Jun 30 Positive Victor and his lady type friend Becky were awesome! I dream of meeting up on bicycles someday.
From Paul Murray Chicago, United States Jun 18 Positive The time in portland was hysterical, not a day goes by when i dont wish i was back in portland riding bikes throughout the forest, breweries, food stands, tripped out night parades, coffee shops and so forth...Portland is weird and so is victor, yet so am i.
From Kaitlyn Delaney Chicago, United States Jun 5 Positive Gosh damn victor. staying up on your couch, riding bikes round your city, in smokey late night parks, while watching parades in people swimming fountains on tech decks, may have been the best time ever! muchas gracias my friend. surely we'll meet again sometime!
From Reese Jackson Anchorage, United States May 2 Positive Victor was a great couchsurfer (as well as a sick one, damn airplanes) & I plan on meeting up with him again while I stay here in Portland.
From Catherine Arnold Seattle, United States Apr 29 Positive Victor and his roommate Jake, who couchsurfed at my friend's apartment in Seattle, are creative and interesting. They are intrigued by the world and like having talks with everyone they meet, I think. They're nice folks.
From Michael Dobbie Seattle, United States Mar 6 Positive victor has the right attitude and approach to creating and inviting moments of community among strangers, he's an open, generous, trusting guy, i really appreciate the time we had together and hope to get to know him more
From Will Chorm Kamloops, Canada Mar 5 Positive Victor is full of energy. I don't know how he does it! I tried keeping up with him and lasted two days. He never stopped, and probably still hasn't.
My surf with Victor was a really excellent experience. He and his roommate/fellow CSer, Jake, are true ambassadors: to couchsurfing, and to Portland. I feel like I really got to see Portland, and am so glad it was all done by bicycle!
If you're lucky, he'll even sing a little Willie Nelson karaoke.
From Simon McLarnon Portland, United States Nov 10, 2008 Positive Alls I can say is that he is an ambassador here in PDX for a reason! He knows lots of great people, knows how to show someone new a great time here and knows even more about stuff!! He also warms my heart and look forward to hanging with him some more when he gets back from his most recent adventure!
From viruta Montiel La Plata, Argentina Nov 9, 2008 Positive mexicano de alma, me encanto conocerlo, a el y a su madre con un espiritu tan positivo. capaz de levantar a cualquier otro espiritu.gracias por compartir tu cultura y tus cervezas
From Vanessa Degrassi Washington, United States Sep 2, 2008 Positive i had a fantastic time with victor and his roommate jake. we biked all around and did so many awesome things i cant even count 'em. victor likes Stuff. thats cool. he's a ridiculous and entertaining individual- always a pleasure to be around. and the couch was pretty nice too.
From MARISSA_AURORA Portland, United States Aug 19, 2008 Positive love of pearl jam aside (haha) Victor is funny, super nice, and does a killer skid stop. plus, i hear from his boss that he never gets in trouble at work...NEVER.
From Natalia Myers Hollywood, United States Feb 18, 2008 Positive Donde estas...Victor Placenta?

From Chelsea Jolly Bend, United States Feb 5, 2008 Positive La locura ha comenzado.
From Jan Reitsma Neukölln, Germany Nov 5, 2007 Positive He is a nice, friendly guy and he can cook real good Mexican food! It was nice having you as a guest!
From Michael Barge Washington, United States Jul 29, 2007 Positive I was looking forward to do some cooking with Victor... But by the time he arrived I came down with a nasty cold! Poor Victor spent the evening by himself. Next morning we have a chance to exchanged stories... He's very cool guy... You are welcome back any time Victor!
Update: July 2007: Its turn out we know a few mutual CS friends! Come back to visit Victor! This time the Lion and Tiger are waiting in the front proch!
From Michela Wilson Olympia, United States Jul 3, 2007 Positive Poor Victor got the flu on my couch and then I had to kick him out. But besides that it was a good time. Victor makes yummy food and is fun to have around. Hopefully I'll see him again when he's back in town.
From GRACIEAK Anchorage, United States Jun 28, 2007 Positive victor had outrageous stories. always true stories, but outrageous none the less. sweet sweet misses him. he has the most beautiful hair of anyone. i will miss his wonderful curly locks. yup.
From Josh Romo Ensenada, Mexico Jun 12, 2007 Positive Victor mentioned he is an embassador, bringing more and more couchsurfers together will really help this place out
From Kaia Rose Bristol, United Kingdom Apr 25, 2007 Positive Victor's a lot of fun to have around! He kept apologizing for coming into my life but I was not sorry at all. We had a good time wandering the street(s) of Ashland, sampling different types of beer, and drawing pictures of kangaroos and jam. He may not always make the most sense, both in terms of his lack of logic and his mumbling, but he's a good guy at heart! I hope we meet again Victor.
From David Alvarez Monterrey, Mexico Apr 11, 2007 Positive this guy is a very cool and crazy!!, always ready to talk about stuff he loves the most such as cycling, portland, tacos and portland!!
From MOSSCOLLECTION Cincinnati, United States Apr 9, 2007 Positive Victor is not only entertaining but also has a very sweet heart. He was a joy to have around and was always making us smile. He brings fun and happiness into every situation, including being stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours. No one should hesitate to let Victor surf. You just might come out a better person for it ;D
From Christina Mathis Nashville, United States Apr 9, 2007 Positive Victor was great and very respectful! My house is open to him any time.
From Erica Harbeson Louisville, United States Apr 7, 2007 Positive Victor is the best catsurfer I ever had
From Katrina Colvin Bradenton, United States Apr 4, 2007 Positive Victor is HILLARIOUS! Hope I get to party with him again. I had a blast!
From Crystal Murphy Birmingham, United States Apr 4, 2007 Positive Victor is a pretty rocking guy...despite his many warnings not to fall in love with him I did...now i must stalk him unrelentlessly throughout the world....hahaha but for real, Victor is a absolute peach, drunk, sober, anytime anywhere!!
From KITARAIN Tuscaloosa, United States Apr 4, 2007 Positive This guy is crazy and fun! we met while surfing w/Crystal Murphy in Bham, and a night (+morning)of drunken maddness ensued! oh yeah, dont forget to clean up that glass. lol
From Marianne Lloyd Austin, United States Apr 3, 2007 Positive victor is the man, and i feel like i barely even scratched the surface. we had some laughs, saw some mardi gras indians do their thing, and almost walked into a flying bullet. oh yeah and i helped him miss his bus so he could stay on our couch one more night (aw). he's a positive guy.
From Jon Swaim London, United Kingdom Apr 2, 2007 Positive Haha this kid is fun! No matter what Victor is down for partying and showing the world what he's about. enjoy
From Michele Ranieri Aurora, United States Apr 1, 2007 Positive Oh Victor...what a unique and strapping young lad. All I can say to some up our experience together is...do you want some whiskey and I'm sorry. (thumbs up). Victor is one of a kind and hilarious. I had a great time with him.
From Sonia So7 Mobile, United States Mar 30, 2007 Positive he taught me spanish, we went thift store shopping, and we talked of travel and beautiful women.
it was awesome.
From Kevin Lamb Austin, United States Mar 29, 2007 Positive We sat around a fire (candle) drinking goodness (whiskey) while Victor played the guitar (Pearl Jam) on our deck (rickety), in the morning. Victor has long hair (pretty cool).
From Wes and Brandi, Middleton and Chalker San Francisco, United States Mar 26, 2007 Positive First moment we met, Victor was passing us a bottle of whiskey, and that didn't really stop until he left! Had some good times hanging out in New Orleans.
From Mark Lamb Coldfoot, United States Mar 25, 2007 Positive I will never forget the profoundly moving, deeply spiritual religious experience of linger over an imaginary bonfire that exists in the vacuum of space in the backseat of Michelle's car as we headed to Frenchmen and Victor and I discovered a mutual "love for Jesus" that nearly caused the eyeballs of all passer-by to explode from the holy miracle that was our bond. Under light of the ATM machine in the darkness that surrounds the Voodoo Mart on Canal, a miracle did occur in the form of an unwritten transgression that was magical and included dancing lamposts and a soundtrack from the roaring 20s. Yeah, Victor's a good man. No lies spoken. None. I'm so thirsty.
From Matthew Landry Baton Rouge, United States Mar 20, 2007 Positive Victor came to Baton Rouge and brought the whiskey and Raleigh cigarettes. These were laid back, fun times.
From Jessica Cochran Austin, United States Mar 17, 2007 Positive Victor is really cool! He can play the guitar and he helpped me fix my bike. It was way awesome to hang out with him for a few days here in Austin and go to some shows and go to barton springs and so on. You should let him surf with you and all that groovy kind of stuff. :)
From Irene Moreno Monterrey, Mexico Mar 16, 2007 Positive He likes tacos, what else can I say. I am sure his trip will end up the way he planned it because he is such an organized young man. :p
From Megan Thornburg Houston, United States Mar 12, 2007 Positive Victor helped my room mate move into my house... bought us Blue Bell Icecream... He is a great guy!
From Nathan Christopher Bainbridge Island, United States Mar 10, 2007 Positive It was good to share some laughs, philosophies, and tears. I had a good time hanging with this dude in Lyon, France. Orale buey!
From Adrian Montfort Mexico City, Mexico Mar 9, 2007 Positive Victor is a mean, badass motherfucker who wears a luchador mask at night to brighten peoples days while riding down the street in search of tacos... need I say more?
From Marie-no Horvath Lyon, France Oct 25, 2006 Positive he made us a famous chicken soup!
He's a famous cooker for a pearl jam fan…
From Andrea Miola San Giorgio Canavese, Italy Oct 6, 2006 Positive Victor is a funny and nice guy, relaxed, but talkative and very keen on music and meeting people. He came to see the concert, but then got the opportunity to discover a new town. Beside this Victor really wants to show his skills and to be helpful in cooking.
From Beth Harding Portland, United States Sep 23, 2006 Positive I stayed on Victor's couch when I was between places in Portland, then Victor moved out too and we surfed couches together. It was magical, the best time of my life, we cuddled, and shared secrets, and wrote poems together. Haha, no, not really, but it was a good time. I love Victor! He's the best! Yay for Victor! Yay!

From Silvia Parra Barcelona, Spain Sep 13, 2006 Positive Victor and his bike came home late and tired. After some days here he and his bike have better face :-) Na, nice boy discovering the wide world. Smart and openminded, we have enjoyed some trips together, it is nice to contribute to his travel experience, wish him a good luck!
From Chrystal Caratta Sao Paulo, Brazil Sep 6, 2006 Positive Victor is always fun, but if I were you, I would never give him Scotch. We were there and we are the only ones who know exactly what it means. ;) Cabrooon!!!! =P
From Dorian DE ROBERT La Garde - Var, France Aug 29, 2006 Positive my twin brother was working and I "hosted" him at my brother's house ! Nice experience.
At first he lent me his bike at 9pm to fetch the key of the appartment somewhere in Paris !

I enjoy his travel diary !
Trustworthy, rad and easy-going.
From Sven Van Den Meerssche Brussels, Belgium Aug 25, 2006 Positive Victor is just Victor. He walks his own path in life. He's a good guy, just take him as he is. You can be straight forward with him and, above all, you can really trust him.

From Stan Da Man Amsterdam, Netherlands Aug 17, 2006 Positive weed
From DUBLINGUY Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) Jul 27, 2006 Positive Victor is a cool guy - great charactor for doing a cycling trip around Europe on his own! An undemanding surfer and very chilled! He will meet many people and make loads of friends - if you see this guy along the way offer him a couch - you'll be glad!
From Mike Burns Boston, United States Jul 20, 2006 Positive One of us. One of us. Victor should have moved in with us. Totally cool guy. |
