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 met Paulo at work and became close friends with him. This brother from another mother is thoughtful, humorous, inquisitive, easy-going, sportive, and always party-minded. We traveled a lot with each other and we have a blast every time. His Mediterranean warmth is a welcome change for us Dutchies :-)

I first met Paulo when he visited Oslo. We partied togheter then and had a great time. I met him again for a beach party in Holland and again we shared a party night. Then I surfed his couch in Leiden and he made me and my friend feel most welcome. He said "my casa is su casa" and that was exactly how it felt. A wonderful experience, a good host.

We were at a CS party together with like 8 others. Paulo have some of the same music taste like me, as well some of the same interests like computers, as we both work in that field. Interesting talk about this and about Portugal, as I want to visit Lisbon. He seems like a positive and fun person.

I met Paulo and his friend Lionel at the centralstation, and immediately put them to the test in the Oslo nightlife. After drinking some norwegian Aass beer and laughing so hard my belly is still sore, they went out on the dancefloor and passed the test with flying colours!After this it just went upwards:) Beyond Paulos silly jokes and very polite portuguise manners I found an idealistic, exciting and very sweet guy who I now consider to be my friend and allie. Hopefully we`ll meet in Leiden in July, I had such a wonderful time with this guy!..... And so the story continues -met up with Paulo at the midsummer night aftercamp at the beaches near Haarlem in the Netherlands and partied together under the stars. Of course the guys had brought their frisbee from Oslo, but unfortunately it didn't seem to improve my frisbee skills(?).The following day we carpooled to Leiden and surfed Paulos bed for two days on the best mattress ever! Takk saa mye, kjaere Paulo, du er en flott vert!

I met Paulo last year when I moved to Leiden and we immediately "clicked".
And after a few months we became really good friends. Count on Paulo if you want to have a lot of fun...but also if you need a real friend!
