i'm a bit of a contrast. need to be alone. need to be around people. need to be outdoors. need to be indoors. need the silence. need the beats. you get the picture..

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.

I had a fun time with Natalia and her friend while traveling overnight on a train to Prague. It was great to get to know her over the short time and would love to travel with them both again.

My roommate Juli and I were so very lucky to have met Natalia! She made room in her busy schedule to host us and showed us a wonderful time in Stockholm. We think she is amazing! Conquered the second-hand shopping world in Sto., bounced around the city and had lots of fun discussing music, men, and our tasty meals. Natalia is a person you won't easily forget. We really hope we'll see Natalia again, and she is always welcome to stay with either or both of us!

Natalia is very nice and warm. I remember her magic mini-mattress and the sharing. Her sharing inspired me.

Natalia, what can I say?
She was to only one who wanted to host us in Stockholm which was a super sweet thing to do.
She took us to a cool club, showed us cheap places to eat (we love cheap food you know), showed us how to ride the subway for free,... To get to the point: she made our stay in stockholm a hell of a lot more comfortable (otherwise we would have been forced to sleep on the cold Stockholm streets). And she has a really cosy appartment, interesting books and a great taste in music. She even makes her own art, thàts how cool she is.

Okay, I'm not even worthy to let you know ... no, to tell you how amazing
Natalia is. ... I will try to point out in a few poitns how great she is.
First of all, she totally saved our ass by hosting us. The only person in Stockholm willing to host us, can you imagine. 2nd, she can party like
drunken Belgians (Belgian people are crazy party people). Third, she made
us tea (green tea for Wouter, and black tea for me). 4th, she has music
taste which will make your head explode (not because of the crazy music, but because of how great it is that she listens to crazy music). 5th, she
is fun. ... I think that last part is the thing to remember, .. she is fun. ..... Too bad we didn't had the chance to really really get to know
her. But for the time we've spend I got an impression of Natalia being
super cool. ................. (Sorry for this fairly late reference, I'm
bad)

We met on a party at the jukebox, slinging tunes by Haddaway, Dr. Alban, 2unlimited, Kriss-Kross, Lili & Sussie and other banging tunes from the 90's. A funny, social and generally nice person, I'm looking forward to an invitation to that lovely apartment for some vegetarian food, nudgenudge.

Nat is a very nice and smart girl who spends a lot of time doing all kinds of creative things. At the time I met her she was extremely busy and I'm really glad that she hosted me anyway! Without the advice she gave me I would have missed a lot of cool places like the String cafe, cheap second hand stores and a beautiful view. Meeting her was probably the best thing that could have happened on my first day in Stockholm - also because of the many enlightening insights into her life she provided me. Thank you for making me feel at home in Sweden immediately, Natalia!
