I'm doing it now : somehow surviving in Barcelona :D
Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project
Continuous Evolution of the Spirit of Humanity! Beautiful!
:::: However ::::
Couchsurfing is horrible for me. It has the ability for excitement and to make life crazy with new awesome people ... but when good friends move on with their life, my heart is ripped out and I enter a state of shock and melancholy.
Many many many people I think about and miss every day, but am still happy they are in my life, even if it's just facebook for now :D

From Kashfia Rahman Toronto, Canada Mar 7 Positive Anthony is a wonderful musician and an intriguing human being. I never thought the trombone could be sexy until I met him. His approach to life is incredible and he somehow makes things work. Anthony showed me a fascinating side of Barcelona filled with music, laughter, sharing, and spontaneity. Buenos suerte, mi amigo!
From Bobby Rich Brooklyn, United States Feb 25 Positive Anthony was a great help to Sarrah and I in Barcelona, and I'm sure the whole dynamic of our travels have changed since he introduced us to Ryanair.com. This guys a good jazz musician with a heart for everyone who passes through his life. Stay well, hope your trip to America is smooth, and maybe I'll see you again in Barcelona before you leave.
From Oscar Marquina Logan, United States Feb 20 Positive Anthony is just a great person, I enjoyed his company traveling through Wendover and California. He is a really interesting person and has a lot to share about music! Also he has been a huge help on the CS site, I appreciate it. Best of luck!
From Boyana Zhelyazkova Sofia, Bulgaria Feb 19 Positive Friendship is needless,
like philosophy, like art
it has no survival value,
rather it is one
of those things that
give value to survival
Thanks,dear friend!
Boyana
From OH DONNA Chico, United States Jan 23 Positive Anthony was a very kind and respectful guest. His time here was during a very busy time for me and he was understanding and gracious. We had some nice meals and spent some great times together. Anthony will always be welcome when he returns from his journey.
From Manuel Fernandez Lara Barcelona, Spain Jan 22 Positive Anthony's a cool guy, always fun to be around. We've hanged out in very weird occasions including: drinking games night, watching an American football game & jam session (where he rocked with his trombone, and he always was awesome. Keep it up, man :)
From Ixart Vicent Castellon, Spain Jan 16 Positive Anthony and his friend Jessica are probably the best couch surfers I've ever hosted, so far... The days they stayed at home I was really busy in my job, so I couldn't look after them properly. I really don't know who was hosting who, because they did shopping for me, cooked for me, cleaned the apartment... They organised meetings with other Couch Surfers in my county... They played music together, they let me play their instruments... We shared music, meals and laughs!
I love Anthony's sense of humour and his humanity. He's extremely open-minded and he has many things to speak about, and he likes listening, even if it's in Spanish! He flows with life and nothing seems to be impossible for him. He lives the present moment and he's capable to make every occasion unforgettable... I promised him to visit them in Barcelona, and I'm looking forward to it! We still have lots of music and movies to share with each other! It was really cool to juggle, dance and play music while hitchhiking!
From Nora Hemelmayr Barcelona, Spain Jan 8 Positive My flatmate in Barcelona for 6 weeks: To convince me to stay the entire 6 weeks with him and Jessica he promised me that it will be an "excellent good time" - now at the last day of our cohabitation I can sum up that besides spending an amazing time with my little crazy family, I met an awesome tromboneplayer, wonderful caring friend, who can stand me even if I don`t. I hope you will always be part of my life in any way until we will live all together one time in the future in a tent on the mongolian countryside.
From Jessica Deutsch Barcelona, Spain Jan 6 Positive Anthonyyyy! My little leprechaun who I carry in my back pocket and pull him out when I want him to play trombone. We`ve made our own crazy lifestyle of traveling musician bums in Barcelona, and it`s nice to have company on this journey. After our 6 weeks of living together, I feel like I'll never be able to leave him behind. We'll have to meet again, here, there, everywhere, or maybe when we're both famous musicians! I love you even if you`re United Station.
From Ryan Allais Las Cruces, United States Dec 17, 2009 Positive I met anthony through music...there is no better way to meet in my opinion...He is a great person to have the pleasure of knowing...It is hard to believe the I have known him for four years!! I trust him and hope someday he will come surf las cruces and stay a while...My couch is open!!
From Katariina Kynnos Oulu, Finland Dec 10, 2009 Positive Anthony can really teach you means of living beyond. He discovers things with his trombone, explores the dumpster on your street and can make a delicious stew for lunch. He's one of those rare persons you hang around with and can just simply be.
From AJ Mesleh Cleveland, United States Nov 28, 2009 Positive UHH THE MOST LEGIT TROMBONE PLAYER EVER!?!?
Seriously though, Anthony took me in when I truly needed it. A mutual fondness for dumpster diving was all it took for me to know we would be pals. We ate garbage picked sandwiches, explored the city, and lived the low life to the best of our abilities. Definitely come to the Cle soon, if not I'm sure I'll be asking for a kitchen floor to sleep on again in the very near future.
From GUSITTA Barcelona, Spain Nov 17, 2009 Positive Anthony, uff maybe its the most active and energetic person I met, who still wasn't affected by slow and tardy life rhythm of Spain :) he is amasing trombone player and improviser, so its very glad to have him in the same group and creat the best thing in the world - music :)
its amazing how he is trying to find a way and get throuht all walls and obstacles. Keep going Anthony :)
From Rafa Dujarric Barcelona, Spain Nov 10, 2009 Positive The musical and spiritual master guru in calamar milla! Great sense of humour and amazing musician!!
From Dani Ledo Reis Belem, Brazil Nov 8, 2009 Positive We always get lost together in Barcelona...
Sweet and gentle guy. I feel very confortable with him.
From Keshri Bapoo Amsterdam, Netherlands Nov 8, 2009 Positive haha
Anthony is a funny guy.. he totally made me feel at ease and be able to laugh at myself!
i hope we can couch surf in the future
From Aziz Oulmassaoud Turku, Finland Oct 28, 2009 Positive funny Anthoshaaa :D (as been called that night) at the meeting of Rabat-Salè group/one of the best i´ve ever been, we are suppose to meet in Barcelona. u remember?
From Otmane KHAYAT Rabat, Morocco Oct 27, 2009 Positive i had great time meeting Anthony, in Rabat monthly meeting, he came just to join this meeting, but he decided to stay one more day, cool we managed to let him like our city, really don't miss to meet Anthony you'll enjoy chilling out with him, c ya soon mate...
From Jonathan Kirsch Durham, United States Oct 24, 2009 Positive Anthony is a funny, responsible, flexible surfer - total joy to host in our home! After traveling all day, he was patient enough to wait an hour outside for us to arrive home, and then went straight to work fixing a broken string on my old violin. He proceeded to teach our two young boys how to play trombone, and woke me up the next AM on my B-day with a birthday tune! If you get the chance, host him and be enchanted by all of his stories of being on the road.
From Miae Lee Seoul, South Korea Oct 20, 2009 Positive Anthony is an awesome guy.
Yes I think he is funny, picky, geek and that is why I like him ;-P
He is like a big brother, responsible in important issues.
But most of time yeah easy going, relaxed and has send of humor.
He showed me about real sharing.
The time we spend together were valuable time for me.
I am glad that I visited Barcelona again.
I learned many things from that time.
He is a guy you should meet when you have a chance, defiantly.
Move forward Anthony and wish best luck for you always.
From Marti Bayer Santiago, Chile Oct 19, 2009 Positive Meeting Anthony was a great experience!! He joined our band with his trombone and we had a fantastic sesion. After the music sesion we went out with my friends and had a great crazy party night!
The day after I went to work (that was hard for me) but when I came back home he had cleaned the house!
I look forward to jam again, have a great time and keep in touch!!
From Holger Michel Alicante, Spain Oct 19, 2009 Positive Anthony is a full time traveller and hitch hiker. I enjoyed having him as a guest. A easy going, respectful and social person with a great sense of humor. We had lots of fun with other CS friends and I I am looking forward to host him again.
PS: I found out that the milk is made from non genetical treated soy. So no worries, they won`t grow :D
From Coralie HANCOK Orange, France Oct 16, 2009 Positive It was a pleasure to meet Anthony. he is a very cool guy, very easy to talk with even if we sometimes had to use a dictionnary ! Next time you come in Provence, we'll have wine degustation et could speak about "on the road", the book I must read !!
From Kim Hunziker Winterthur, Switzerland Oct 13, 2009 Positive Despite his horrible ordeal of being stranded in the pouring rain under a provincial, Swiss highway bridge, Anthony was a great guest, a lot of fun to be around, and proved not only that he has great taste in movies and strange British TV-Comedy, but also that hitchhiking is, in fact, possible in Switzerland. A pain, yes. But possible ^^. Like, totally, dude.
From Pierre Bosquet Lyon, France Oct 12, 2009 Positive This guy is an awesome tromboner, being able to melt into a french brass band that has its own codes and social behaviours.
His way to play the trombone reflects this guy : easygoing, jazzy, that can be really quiet and then burst into laughs...
He's really the guy to rock you weekend out of its pattern.
Good luck for your hitchhiking experiences...
From theanh Munich, Germany Oct 8, 2009 Positive Anthony life is great and full with adventure stories. He is definitely not a dreamer, no he is someone who is living his the dream no matter what happen to him. It was my pleasure to host you in my home. My roommates love you ;) Keep in touch dude and take care with your hitchhiking!
From Don Stebbins Springville, United States Sep 28, 2009 Positive Anthony shared a ride to the coast and through the redwoods. He's a very interesting and positive person. I hope we will meet again when we have more time to travel together.
From Jason Gastaldo Gossau, Switzerland Sep 27, 2009 Positive Anthony's a coincidental meeting, an instant connection, an awesome companion, a fine musician, an inquisitive conversationalist, a silent snorer, and a friendly soul.
I feel really easygoing around Anthony, and I like the way he moves and speaks; I would regularly laugh when he was trying to have a serious conversation, just because of his demeanor. Sorry about that =)
We're both nomads, so that means we'll see eachother soon enough. I can't wait!
From Maxim Ames Lowry Laramie, United States Sep 21, 2009 Positive Anthony was able to cope, keep up with, and add to the insanity of the yearly tour de laramie. good times my friend. see you next year?
From Kristin Melody Eugene, United States Sep 16, 2009 Positive What a guy! The kind of person you can run into on the streets and then spend the rest of the day with him, and enjoy it a lot! Eager to teach. learn. share (and my computer works great thanks!) Fun Fun guy.
From Elisabeth Connelly Eugene, United States Sep 14, 2009 Positive Anthony is a lovely person. I stayed with him in Eugene with my dog and roommate. We made lots of pie and played many a song. Yeah!
From Ashley "OREGON DRAGONFLY" Eugene, United States Sep 10, 2009 Positive Anthony is a very fun, positive person to be around. We have been to a few of the same gatherings this month and always have a great time! (Beer and Bingo, what more could you ask for?) See ya around Anthony!
From Jesse Hart Eugene, United States Sep 10, 2009 Positive Met Anthony at a CS event in Eugene and then again at another (then gave him a ride home to his host's place). Very friendly guy who loves his beer! I'm sure to see you around but if I don't have an awesome time on your big trip!
From Julie Donohue Eugene, United States Sep 8, 2009 Positive Hey Anthony!! I only had to talk to him for 5 minutes to know he was everything a CS nomadic ambassador should be...he is A, no wait, THE couch surfing king....or is it couch smurfing king? He's the Smurfer. He is an open and friendly guy, you'll kick it off the second you meet him!
From Joe Packwood Denver, United States Aug 31, 2009 Positive Anthony is awsome he's what I want to be the nomadic amasador I dream of following in his foot steps. Also he's nuts he was an awsome guy at tent surf.
From Brian Sacramento, United States Aug 23, 2009 Positive I want to get to know Tony better. I met him while he surfed with Donna in Chico. I'm jealous of his traveling, and want to learn how to 'wing' it! No hesitation in hosting/surfing again in the future. Safe travels!
From Nate Nelson Salt Lake City, United States Aug 23, 2009 Positive Tony is a man among men.
From Jeremy Marie Rouen, France Aug 7, 2009 Positive Interesting to talk to, thats the least I can sat about Anthony. He is the kind of couchsurfer I am targeting when I have the opportunity to go surfing a place, and who would be of course very welcome as a guest!
S'moring, herbs fire-cleaning, or simply camping in Utah, that's the time I spent in his company and the one I intend to spend will be on some hitch-hiking time in California dude!
From HOWARD & CHRISTINA Saratoga Springs, United States Aug 5, 2009 Positive We had a great time camping and raking hay and cow pies, feeding spiders, Thanks for all of your help. You will be back !!
From Jessica Liddell Wellsville, United States Jul 30, 2009 Positive Anthony is a master bartender and impressed everyone with his ability to stand up in a canoe while passing out beer. Anthony was a lot of fun to talk to and I look forward to seeing him again before one of us leaves the surrounding area.
From Ken Flannery Astoria, United States Jul 17, 2009 Positive I'd heard of and talked to Anthony through a few different channels, but finally met him face to face in Wyoming for tour de laramie, a drunken night of biking. Since then I've bumped into him unexpectedly in various places. He's a good guy seeking and creating action wherever he goes, it can be a thought out plan or something spur of the moment. If you've found Anthony it's likely you did so under the circumstances of good times.
From Amanda Alewine Oklahoma City, United States Jul 8, 2009 Positive Anthony and Zak made it for the annual Cinco de Mayo party and were great ambassaders for couchsurfing. Although we had a few local CS's it always helps to spread the word with those who are currently traveling. Very interesting fun Guys! We got a chance to talk the next day and they seem to really be enjoying there travel!
From Sky Harmony Portland, United States Jul 3, 2009 Positive Andrew is an amazing person, I'm so glad he was at our camp during tent surf, it made the experience a lot more enjoyable. Him and his lovely new wife went out of their way to help me while I was there, and they are both amazing artists!
I love you!
From Janelle Sandene Omaha, United States Jul 1, 2009 Positive Anthony and his friend were making a trip cross country and landed in Omaha. I was happy to show them around and had a great time doing so. He is a great person and fun to be around. Stop back soon!
From Gabriel Bianchi San Francisco, United States Jun 22, 2009 Positive Anthony is simply unique! I met him while he was getting married in the middle of f#*%ing nowhere at 10,000 feet!!! crazy dude, lots of good vibe! :-D we had some good conversations around bonfires and he showed me how good he is at cursing in Italian... I sure hope to meet him again somewhere!
From Andrew Adi C Reedsburg, United States Jun 22, 2009 Positive An incredibly warm and compassionate guy who is always eager to be helpful and was a joy to camp next to! I was also his wedding photographer. Thanks for making Tentsurf '09 even better!
From LEOC Pleasant Grove, United States Jun 21, 2009 Positive Anthony is a great couchsurfer. He is always up for something fun for couchsurfers. He organizes events for CSers and motivate other CSers to participate. Definitely a cool guy to hangout with.
From Sarah Joseph Chicago, United States Jun 19, 2009 Positive Niven and Anthony were our tentsurf neighbors and they were the best possible neighbors! I absolutely loved meeting both of them. Both of them have some of the best stories ever and now they can add their crazy Tentsurf wedding to the mix. I'm so bummed that I went hiking that day. Anthony, the nomad, is always very chill and remains polite and friendly even in the most frustrating of situations. The tent circle would certainly not have been the same without him and Niven.One day hopefully I will see both you traveling nomads again.
From Taryn Nash Trinity, United States Jun 17, 2009 Positive Wish I'd had more of a chance to interact with this character, but he's a warm, friendly guy. It was a blast to finally meet him around the Tent Surf '09 bonfire after a few emails had been exchanged. Thanks for everything Anthony and congrats!
From Richard Sims Littleton, United States Jun 15, 2009 Positive After emails for the North American Camp Out we finally met.

From Jon Cordoba Tempe, United States May 26, 2009 Positive From Idea to TentSurf Anthony was there every step. The spontaneous message I received from his now significant other was special and surprising! I had the wonderful privilege of performing the wedding for Anthony and Niven at TentSurf 2009 and cant wait to be there for the Baptism.... hehe! Anthony is is Musical and eclectic and all good. I miss him already.
From Chris Pelczarski Rapid City, United States May 26, 2009 Positive Anthony was a great guest to have! I would call him introspective and friendly - ready for any adventure. He is trusting, fun, friendly, and especially great at caring for others and noticing their needs. He showed up at my place when I was not home and I described how to get into my place. When I showed up at home to find 13 people who had cooked dinner for everyone and had beers cold and ready, I experienced the miracle of surfing - I was being hosted in my own apartment! Thanks for being open, giving, and a wonderful person!
From Michael Crouse Rome, United States May 19, 2009 Positive Anthony is a wonderful guy, hospitable and gracious to the core. He met up with Claire & I over in Rome, GA, and we hung out for the night talking about all kinds of things. Anthony has the traveling bug and wants to see everything. I was hoping he'd stick around an extra day, but hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go! I recommend him to any Couchsurfer.
From Mark Findley Birmingham, United States May 19, 2009 Positive Anthony is an amazing person. I loved how free and open he was, and how much he enjoyed just experiencing life.
From Rayce Delzer Rapid City, United States Apr 30, 2009 Positive Anthony is one of the coolest surfers I have had he was always fun and ready to have a good time. He was super clean with my place even did my dishes when he left.. Now thats a good surfer! We went out to the bars and had some beers fortunately for him he was a No... I really enjoyed my time chatting with Anthony and would recommend him to stay with anybody... AWESOME GUY!
From Peter & Travis Bozeman Bozeman, United States Apr 27, 2009 Positive Anthony is a great guy. Clean, courteous and fun. We would love to have him back again. He and his friend Zak stayed with us for a weekend and it was great to have them. You could not ask for better surfers. They rolled into a party we were having and everyone loved them. They hooked us all up with pizza and good conversation. We all had great things to say about them. See you in Salt Lake for an Opera.
From Josh Niemier Vancouver, Canada Apr 26, 2009 Positive Anthony is a cool trombone player. He will hook you up with some dorian trombone passages that will make you weep with joy. I highly recommend you get him sleeping on your couch as fast as possible!
From Kimberleigh Smithbower Roseblade Vancouver, Canada Apr 25, 2009 Positive Anthony- come back, Vancouver misses you and the band just doesn't sound the same without a trombone player on those few tracks! This wonderful creature graced my space for a whole week and instantly just fit himself into my circle of friends, community and music. He was a fantastic guest, a wonderful companion and I feel I have made (yet another) friend-for-life through CSing! Keep doing what you do darlin', because you do it so well! See ya on stage, in the limelight... ;oP
From Cesar Pizarro Moscow, United States Apr 25, 2009 Positive anthony was just a cool cat to hang out withit was a shame he wasn't able to stay in moscow for longer but heck we'll see each other again at tentsurf
From Dayna Buri Moscow, United States Apr 24, 2009 Positive It's been a few months, but I definitely had to change/update this. Since April when I first hosted and met him, Anthony has become one of the best friends I've ever met through CS. He is a great mentor for those newbie-nomads like me who are still trying to figure out the Open Road and its implications. He helped make my first CS event what it was by teaching me how to effectively get the message out to CS locals. He has given me advice, wisdom, and an open ear when I have been having rough days on the road. He somehow has the ability to make the CS magic happen and grow community wherever he arrives, and taught me the necessity of hugging your hosts. I run into this crazy person everywhere... from Idaho, to bowling in Denver, to the library in Salt Lake, to Tentsurf... when will the madness end?!
Those of us at Tentsurf were lucky enough to see him tie the knot with an equally amazing CSer, and they are both welcome on my couch whenever they so desire.
From Chris Clinger Moscow, United States Apr 24, 2009 Positive I met this guy at the CS happening in the Moscow/Pullman area. Great guy and easy to get along with... conversations about the deep stuff were enlightening. Also, I have no doubt that if things were to get dicey, he's the type of guy to give you the shirt off his own back. Hang out with him if you get the chance!
From Barbara Bolich Spokane, United States Apr 24, 2009 Positive I have a soft spot for traveling & busking musicians...Anthony only deepened that affection! He is the perfect guest: wise, funny, tidy, grateful, and outgoing. Take him in if you get the chance! You are welcome anytime, Anthony (you and the trombone!).
From RENZIMM Seattle, United States Apr 22, 2009 Positive Anthony is a cool guy and was a fun and grateful surfer. His project sounded cool and I hope he has a good time waltzing across the country.
From Pippa Greyhue Logan, United States Apr 16, 2009 Positive Anthony is a very cleaver, amusing, intelligent, kind hearted, poetic, fun, creative, helpful, objective, attractive chap!
From Max Boyle Vancouver, Canada Apr 16, 2009 Positive I haven't had the pleasure of hosting this man, but from what I've seen of how he gets along with his current host, I would definitely vouch for his honesty and positivity. Wish he was planning on staying a little longer!!
From Graham Colin Melbourne, Australia Apr 15, 2009 Positive Anthony is a fun guy, great to talk about music, art, anything cool. He would be a wicked guy to have on your couch, and if I ever get one he'd always be welcomed on mine.
From Daphne Gabrieli Eugene, United States Apr 10, 2009 Positive OK, truth be told, I didn't actually host Anthony. He stayed with my neighbor. But, it was just like hosting him, since we all hung out together for the weekend. I don't think strong friendships are easily come by, and--call me crazy--but I feel like I've known Anthony for years and years. Let's hope we can play music together soon. Oh, and, yeah, I'd recommend him to any couchsurfing host anywhere.
From Jude Hales Eugene, United States Apr 8, 2009 Positive Glad to be a part of Anthony's Great Adventures!
I find Anthony to be easy going, excited about and open to new experiences, a gracious guest, and good company.
From Michael Herbert Boise, United States Apr 5, 2009 Positive Anthony was a great person to host! Interesting, friendly and good conversations!
From Ryan Ruff Riverton, United States Mar 27, 2009 Positive Anthony is a jack of all trades. The guy just seems to know everything about everything. He feels like an old friend even if you just met. Very approachable and comfortable.
From Austin Hawkins Clinton, United States Mar 23, 2009 Positive Anthony is real legit and super enthused about the couchsurfing exchange.
From Nicol Razon Los Angeles, United States Feb 27, 2009 Positive Totally positive dude and down for the cause!
From Cameron Yates Cottonwood Heights, United States Jan 18, 2009 Positive Anthony's a really cool dude. Laid back, well traveled, and easy to talk to, he's definitely someone you should let surf your couch or get in touch with if you're in the SLC or Logan, UT area.
From Bret Rasmussen Salt Lake City, United States Jan 18, 2009 Positive Anthony is a cool guy, super active in the CS community, and knows quite a bit about music, in an intelligent, insightful, educating way. He's a fun dude that all should get to know if they're coming to Salt Lake, or Logan.
From Susan Marjanovic San Francisco, United States Jan 12, 2009 Positive Anthony is super humble, funny and generous...I didn't get to spend much time with him while he was in SF, but he's started a monster with the 1st Annual CS Campout in North America and I am looking forward to more positive conversations and getting things done :) This guy is a pleasure to spend time with!
From Will Bollwerk Salt Lake City, United States Jan 11, 2009 Positive Anthony is a cool guy who invited me to many a Stammtisch and when I finally came we met for the first time. I'm very happy to have met him.
From Jena Desai Oakland, United States Jan 9, 2009 Positive Met him and his friend Jon at an SF Underground meeting. It was a good time! Told me where "Basecamp" is located only a few miles from my place. I also gave him and his friend a ride back to his host. We may hang out again before he hitches back to Utah.
From PRESS1 Los Angeles, United States Dec 17, 2008 Positive Met Anthony at a SLC meet. Great guy and very active in the CS community and organizing. See you again sometime down the road when I find myself in SLC again.
From Scott Arneman Salt Lake City, United States Dec 7, 2008 Positive Anthony needs another positive reference like I need a hole in the head, but I just can't help myself. He's a real energetic nice guy. He personally regenerated regular get togethers of the Salt Lake and Utah CS groups. Not an easy feat in it self, but did it from 80 miles away! He's the best CS has to offer.
From Naveen Hossain Draper, United States Dec 6, 2008 Positive Anthony is just an awesome guy. Very warm and genuine in his interactions with people. Makes conversation very easy. Definitely fun to talk to and hang out with, and i think it's fair to say he's always up for a discussion on music and theory. Definitely one of the coolest guys on CS that i've met.
From Scruggs Smith Clemson, United States Dec 4, 2008 Positive Good guy, up front, honest and positive.
From Brandon Gumtow Victor, United States Dec 2, 2008 Positive Anthony is a great guy, honest, smart and inquisitive. I surfed two of his couches while I was in Logan and we had many really good discussions about the state of the world. But despite what he says there is no such thing as conspiracy theorists, only theories and conspiracies. :)
From Kyle Palmer Salt Lake City, United States Nov 17, 2008 Positive Anthony is great! I had the chance to meet and talk with him briefly at a CS party. He seems very funny and friendly. I look forward to meeting up again in the future. Thanks for putting such a wonderful night together!
From Bekkie Atwood Provo, United States Nov 16, 2008 Positive Anthony invited me to the SLC Stammtisch. I'm really glad I went. He is such a fun and positive kid. I definitely appreciate his sense of humor. After food and drinks we sneaked a drawing into the boing house and drove to an after party while practicing our limey accents. I was sad that he didn't stay at the party, but I can't wait until we can get together again at the next event.
Cheers!

From Angela Oliver San Francisco, United States Oct 24, 2008 Positive Anthony is a really great guy. Very involved in couchsurfing and a great "organizer" He's humble, funny, and very engaging. It was great to be able to talk a bit at Stammtisch and I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around.
From Zak Evans Salt Lake City, United States Oct 22, 2008 Positive Anthony is a really nice guy and he is definetly organized at least 90% of the first Stammtisch. If he needs help in one subject, its math. I will be up in Logan soon to ride, just wait for the snow.
From Jacob Fullmer Ko Tao, Thailand Oct 21, 2008 Positive As you can see, Anthony has this CS thing down, and it shows. I met him at a CS event that he put together, he was great at including everybody and was just an great guy all around.
From Carlos Dehais Stansbury park, United States Oct 21, 2008 Positive I meet Anthony at the CS gathering on Sat 18. The meetting started around 530pm at a local restaurant and then part of the group headed to a local pub. Stayed with the group till 1130pm. We had alot of fun and get to know each other. Anthony was very friendly and shared his experiences with me about the CS Project, then I learned alot from him about it.
From Karen McGrath Salt Lake City, United States Oct 20, 2008 Positive Had a great time Friday night! Suffered mutually all day Saturday... ugh.. But hey, deep fried ravioli is certainly a cure all! Thanks for the company and the wet nose fest :)

From Zach Bardon Seoul, South Korea Oct 9, 2008 Positive Anthony was a super helpful host who made sure I was well taken care of.

Looking forward to seeing you again in Korea!

From Ben Shaw Gordonsville, United States Sep 29, 2008 Positive Anthony is a great guy, and willing to provide a couch on short notice. Not only was it comfortable (beats a sleeping bag on the ground), but the dog kept me company and warm all night. He and his room mates are accommodating, friendly, cordial, and I highly recommend him as a trustworthy traveler well worth meeting.
From Justin Bachus Salt Lake City, United States Sep 28, 2008 Positive So I'm not sure if the first night counts because there wasn't any sleeping involved, but Anthony is definitely a fun person, and terrorizing SLC late into the night was a blast.

From Ian Rolfe Logan, United States Aug 18, 2008 Positive this is a good man
From Drew Donaldson Ellijay, United States Aug 16, 2008 Positive Anthony and his manor of music provided a great place to surf with my very own fireplace. Even though he works too much we found the time for fun and talk most evenings. I hope to visit again in the future.
From C Jensen Logan, United States Jun 2, 2008 Positive I would trust him with my first born and to take care of my cats for months at a time knowing he wouldn't kill either.

From Christoph Cris Vienna, Austria Feb 24, 2008 Positive After years of opera abstinence, Anthony almost got me into one! ;) (shame on me, by the way...) Haven't heard him play the trombone yet, but if the sound is as smart as his wit, I want to listen to it ;) very friendly guy with a lot of humour to share and a lot of music to play. I hope to do both with him once he finally becomes a Wiener! ;)
From Kerstin M Vienna, Austria Feb 20, 2008 Positive anthony was a really cool guest. he helped me with my "beersicle" problem and cheered and jumped for austria at football even though we had no chance to win... and we feel the same way about mormons!
From the color orange Linz, Austria Feb 17, 2008 Positive The world is definitely smaller than you think. We met briefly in Vienna last year and after that discussed about Tom Waits and which genre he belongs to. Never expected more than that to happen.
But now we met again once in his for-a-while-hometown and second surfing the same host's couch. We even made a detour to meet him. I don't think I have to say more :-)

From Dile Boscolo Chioggia, Italy Jan 28, 2008 Positive Oh Anthony!
Too bad that he didn’t have his trombone with him, I would have liked so much to listen to him!! (I’m not sure about my neighbours :o))
I’m very happy to have hosted him, he is really a genuine guy, very respectful and well educated.
By the way… the jacket was a great deal!
Thank YOU for your kindness.
Take care :o)
From Sara Santoro Athens, Greece Jan 26, 2008 Positive I guess now he can even understand the entire GODFATHER
saga in the original soundtrack, after he spent four
days heaering me talking in any kind of language! He's
a very kind and cute guy with a sense of humour which
at first baffles you and then it overwhelms you! With
him even the most normal things can become ridiculous!
At the same time though it's a real pleasure to talk
with him about serious stuff too in a night dressed
with indian food and music! Waiting for you to have
the next bottle of Rakia!!
From Kaelee Jensen Park City, United States Jan 23, 2008 Positive Anthony is a sincere friend, and very talented Trombonist. His mind is never closed, and his door is always open.
