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.

Even if we met before several times in occasion of CS-meetings, only latterly we had the opportunity to talk a little bit. Paolo is a quite person, but has a wide range of interests. Was funny to listen to all his hobbies & experiences. We'll meet soon!

We should have talked a little more so I could leave a more extensive reference. Anyway, Paolo seemed like a nice guy who is willing to contribute his share to making this world a better place.

Paolo was nice, considerate guest. He was away during the days and joined us for evening conversations which was really nice. Well, to sum up, way to less time we spent together and I look forward to meeting Paolo again - either in Innsbruck or in Italy.

Paolo is a very likeable, trustworthy and fun person - although we only spent little time together, I think it can be great fun spending time with him ;) and paolo: I won´t throw my tv away, but surely switch it off in the future :) see you!

We hate Trento autobus ;D. Even the Trento autobus has a strange way of working, we had a great time in Trento thanks to Paolo and Francesca. They helped us lots and we had very good conversations with them
