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. References (46)46Positive 0Neutral 0Negative

 From Monika Estermann Lucerne, Switzerland
Dec 28, 2011 Positive We met Donna and her dogs while cycling through Cortez, New Mexico on the way south to Argentina. We had a short but great time at her nice home. Donna is very friendly, kind, and a energetic and dedicated host. We had very interesting conversations. Unfortunately we had to leave next day because of the winter in our neck. We really hope we get the chance to meet you again somewhere. Donna thank you very much for your hospitality.

 From DannyandJulzzz Flagstaff, United States
Oct 22, 2011 Positive Our very first couch-surfing experience was at Donna's home. The room is humble, the neighborhood very nice , great view off the deck, and sweet dogs. We found Donna to be a very kind person who made us feel welcome.
 From Ian Waters Mandurah, Australia
Oct 16, 2011 Positive Donna was a wonderful host - welcoming me and my friend into her house for a night and giving us a much welcome place to sleep after a week of camping, despite the sad loss of her dog Mia. She has lots of stories to tell and gave us lots of ideas about what to see in southern Colorado - including heading up into the mountains to see the fall colours - which we did! Hope to see her in Australia one day.
