CouchSurfing Experience

My interview for a job in Cork - Was very apprehensive about going to cork for my interview with the intention of maybe moving if i got the job. I was staying with a couchsurfer who made my stay very enjoyable and gave me a good insight to the life i could expect if i did move to cork. I got the job and I have made the decision to move my life over there and i owe a lot to the experiences i have gained from CS'ing

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Deri came to a CS dinner party held at the hostel I work at, and made a kickass spicy soup. I was delighted that he didn't drown while taking photos in the river on our nightwalk. Take care!

After meeting at a couple of potlucks, one at Deri's place, he stopped for a night while cycling from Rosslare to Cork! He's enthusiastic, ambitious and going after his dream. Deri, I look forward to dine in your restaurant drop by anytime.

I met Deri through our "ICC" organization (International Club of Cork). He is a talkative guy, very funny and polite. He came several times to our meetings and activities, we always had a lot of fun. You will have az excellent time staying with him if he is able to host you! I highly trust him and would recommend everyone to surf his couch.
