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.

Finn and I met at the New Years Eve party in Oslo 2009. He is a fun guy to be with, and he is also a reflective guy! Good company in other words. Hope we will meet again soon!

Finn hosted my friend and I for three days. He went out of his way to meet us on arrival and take us by subway to his home. He cooked us a wonderful meal, shopped with us in the city, escorted us to and from the NYE party. Partied with us at the NYE party and slept on his own couch leaving us to take over his bed!!!!
He has an easy going personality, it was quite relaxing being in his company.
I found him to be a bit of a softie "VIKING" he complained at times about the cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ann & I stayed with Finn for 3 days. He got the subway for 20mins just to meet us and another 20mins back to his place. Then he cooked up a quick and tasty meal for us & a friend. He even gave up his bed for us and escorted us to/from the NYE event, then we chatted til the wee hours. I felt very comfortable with him, an almost perfect experience - give up the fags ;-)
Also hosted for Finn 2 days...great to meet up again, come back anytime!

It was so good to meet Finn! You just don't meet this kind of person just around the corner. A relaxed guy, but so interesting, full of knowledge and humour! Conversation till early morning... coffee, coffee, coffee and smoke... so cool. Great host, I just hope I can host him some time in return!
