Well, now I cant host at the moment, since I dont have a place of my own, but gladly will help giving tours, info or glad to share a beer.

Just moved to Tallinn and will be living here for a while. Sadly at the moment I cant host since I live where I work in a common room with other people of the staff, but I would love to show you around guys in Tallinn and help any other way I can.

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.

Alvaro was an absolutely wonderful host. Hannah and I spent this past Christmas cooking and enjoying a feast at Alvaro's house in Guatemala City. I have never felt so at home so quickly! Topped it off with fireworks at midnight :)

Pampa hosted us, me and two girlfriends, when we arrived and left Guatemala City for two nights in summer 2008. This was our first big trip and we had just discovered CS and it was a great experience. Pampa is very nice and reassuring. Thanks for his help and good advices throughout our stay that allowed us to enjoy his beautiful country. Thank you for your generous and genuine welcoming. We very much appreciated.

I've known Pampa for 7 years now, and can say that he's as charming in person as he is online. He can cheer you up when you're feeling down, he's good at pushing people to follow their dreams. Let's say he's a very nice guy.
And he promised to turn me into a backpacker. Watch out, I might hold you to that promise!

After a quite failed try to meet up for Midsummer Festivities we still somehow through difficulties managed to meet each other, and I'm glad we did :) We spent some relaxy-time in my small hometown Kuressaare. Pampa and Julio cooked a delicious meal (sorry about those knives tho!) and I made banana pancakes in the morning, which was supposedly to put me in Pampas TOP 3 favourite people in the world (after his Mum and the guy who invented beer) by now of course someone has kicked me off my throne, I believe. But I hope I can regain my place when I see him next time, cause I am sure I will despite all the follow-up failures of meeting him after that first time :D

Now he has somehow settled in Estonia and I am off on a tour in Europe... Which has somewhat to do with the encouragement of his :) I admire his thirst for adventures and shiny personality even through troubletimes.

And I DO think you should have a job titled 'The guy who tells people to follow theır dreams' Much love!
