Tommy Quist

first met him in berlin beach camp and fell in love with his tie, then hosted him a night in paris to hitchike the day after that to netherlands where he hosted me.. Couldn't steal his tie and forgot my harry potter in latin at his, but still it was worth it, just for the buffoon role in utrecht I guess.. or for the beer in crazy cow.. or for all the fun we had trying to hitchike from paris... or just because he's this great guy, which you can tell just by looking at his tie of course..

If you haven't met Tommy yet, you should change it immediately. He's fun, bold, but also sensitive. You can count on him both if you want entertainment and if you need serious talk about meaning of life and support in times of tribulation [I had to use dictionary a lot to write about you ;)].
P.S. Tommy, you have one imperfection - you should definitively buy nowe buty! ;)

Tommy was a great host for my first CS experience! He's very friendly (and reserved - haha), he showed us around Leiden and he just loves CS (for him it's just a way of life). Late at night he watches very strange Japanese cartoons in his extremely fashionable pyjama's :)

Crazy, cute, "understands binaries kind of guy" with a lot of energy (if you see him more than 5 minutes in one place, something's wrong). We played games together, cleaned a kitchen together :) and enjoyed a super CS event in Utrecht. To many more...

Found him sitting on the grass, playing guitar @ BBC. Since that day, we explored Berlin, cooked & partied together the whole week! It felt like I had met an old friend of mine. He´s definitely a person, who will entertain you wherever you are, but also the one you can talk to.

Tommy, you came out of "nowere", chose kitchen instead of regular bed and rescued me from being overtalked in Heaven, something about 5 a.m. Thanks for sharing your minds and convinced me even more to cs idea! See ya in another life, dude!

Tommy spent two nights at my place! I think, that we made good team together durnig the party:) He is really sociable, so from the very beginning we got on well! I won't forget the way he bought the flowers at Wroclaw market square and the florist won't forget it, too;) If u wanna learn how to taste cherry vodka shoots and use british accent you got to the right address;) I have strange feeling that we'll meet in the future! All the best men!

Tommy , the hiking Dutchman! I hosted Tommy for a few days and he really surprised me to go up and hike up almost all the mountains the nearby mountains during his short stay in Bergen. Tommy is a great guy who had his work cut out for him when he left :)

Great Berlin Beach Camp Buddy! Dutchpass but Norwegian at Heart what a man!!!

Greetins to my "Swaffele" King !!! Tommy is such a great Entertainer, damn crazy and a great guy to have a party with. if you will met that guy one time forget words like boring or sad, its not existing around him.I had a lot of fun with ma king get drunken and sang "kölsche" songs together :o) and im happy that this duth guy dont try to "swaffele" the Brandenburger Tor in berlin. jah bless ya

"Ich bin der Swaffel König und ich genies die zeit. Ich bin der Swaffel König, seid ihr für mich bereit"

 

Tommy was a good host, with a lot of couchsurfing experience. He has the techniques down, is flexible, nice, and gave me some very helpful advice about his town, and couchsurfing in general(I'm an elementary couchsurfer). Thanks Tommy!

 

Tommy is really good with languages. My mother in law could actually speek with him in norwegian!!
Tommy is polite and very energetic. Host Tommy!

 

Tommy is amazing. High energetic and up
for joke after joke. It was a funny time having him around and he totally inspired me to get back on my bike, also for longer distances, what made me hesitate in the past. Well, thanks for Visiting.
(and we'll do that pixel thing !!!)

Me and my other 3 friends surfed his couch for 3 days and it was the craziest trip ever!"I gonna milk you all" "Children factory in Prague" "Ik zal jullie allemaal betalen" So thank you for everything, it was great! sendind greetings from soldiers Jefferson, Morgan, sanders and McGraw...and we are still waiting for your summer "orange" job!!!

 

Tommy is very outgoing and enthusiastic. He's a dedicated CS-er, and loves to meet new people - he welcomed us to his home country and to the Leiden community. It was fun to bump into him at CS events around Europe too!

Oh Tommy, what a character! This boy has a talent for picking up accents and languages that is enviable. He is fantastic fun and brings life, fun and smiles to all meetings. Don't take him too seriously and play along with his games and you'll be guaranteed to have fun. Tommy is lively and has a lot of energy and I can only assume he'd be a hilarious host who could entertain you with all of his stories (even if they aren't true).

get out of europe dude!!!
See the world.
Find yourself a ginger.
Find a good place for the bomb.
Don't leave chocolate in the sun.
Be careful on your bike.

I still have sand in my crack from spending time with him.

Well Tommy is kind of cool except may be about the picture girl stuff...euh i do not agree... :p Do you think so? really? Well what to say, he was a good host...really welcoming...so yep good! I recommend him but do not take to much pics of Leiden :p

Tommy is an awesome interesting guy who knows how to make you feel at home!! soon he will be the worlds most famous guitar player but until then, it's just funto to hang out with him in leiden. i had a great time!!

tommy is great, you can trust him with your toasties,and all else besides, he has alot of interesting stuff to say and plenty more im sure, i really enjoyed hanging out and drinking weak weak tea,discussing things that dont really matter, ....my highest recomendations to anyone interested in leiden.... ill bring some tetley next time...take care amigo

We stayed at his place for 2 nights of which we got struck by his coriosity(Neugierde), hospitality and cheerfulness.
And we missed a great pillow-fightin' in amsterdam;)

Tommy is sooooooo crazy but also very very sweet! He showed us Leiden, took us to a very nice WOK place, a really cool bar and hosted us at his place. We just have to laugh around him. He is always happy and energetic, the good attitude spreads all over the group. I also loved how he could do all the accents, really an awesome guy.

tommy, dat wa ne superjeile zik mit dir.
Mer läv nur eimol.
the only thing i can say left about your mind is:
Ich möch ze Fooss noh Kölle jon. ( ich will zu fuß nach kölle gehn )

mach et joot

Stayed with Tommy for a couple of nights. Great host and very easy going!
Cheers!

You can't miss this guy when he's around! Beer is his fuel, never stops talking and joking;) I like the fact that he's very active in Leiden, keep up the good work Tommy!

Yes, he's funny in a shameless way, and I really like it, but there's more in him. He's very smart, speaks perfect English and understands quite a lot about life. :)

Tommy is graet guy. He laughts all the time, he has that rare skill that he can make fun from everything and everywhere. That is my man:) his mattresses are really comfortable, although he live in a small room everybody felt comfortrable. He knows Leiden pretty much, so if U want know sth about leiden's night life and student life he is a person U can ask. Cheers!!

hehehehehehehehheh ahhahahahahahahahahhahaahah

Tommy is a maniac! He will make you laugh until the end of the day! I was one of the victim........AHahhaaahahaahah

I'm still laughing now!....already after 72 hours..hahaha

 

When Tommy stayed in Eindhoven to take a rest from his big bike-trip, I could convince him to join me in celebrating Southern Dutch Style carnival: this was very enjoyable. I very much liked Tommy's company: he's a smart and interesting guy!

Down to earth, friendly person.

Tommy! Fantastic guy. Never laughed so much as i did when i was with him. He always tring to put a big smile in my face :D. I had a lot of good moments with him, ill never forget we playing pool hahaha. Good moment. And thanks for show me places, hanging out with me and introduce me great beers in general o/. I really appreciated.
Well, if you want to have fun and spend great moments in NL, you need to meet up him!

I wish all the best for you Tommy and see you!

Tommy was on his way to Luxembourg when he asked me for a couch. It all worked fine and I was happy to host him.

First time I met Tommy he was not Tommy but Lord James T. Burke. Second time I met him he was hanggroepjongere, and the third time he was Schwip-Schwap. So I never met the real Tommy yet, but I can still say that he has a lot of energy, and is really funny. Even more funny in German.

Enjoy your trip to Schwipschwappenburg!

 

Tommy is like a whirlwind, with a huge amount of energy and ideas. He follows his heart, and doesn't care to turn the world by himself if that should be necessary. An intriguing person to meet!

Tommy is a fun person with a good sense of humour!

Oh man,my english is too poor to find right words voor Tommy.Who else can make 250km by bike on the ice!! And he was making me laughing all the time,3 days non stop.He speaks all north languages and he is a great artist! Meet him!

On his absolutely crazy bicycle trip from Leiden to Antwerp at temperatures of 10 degrees below zero, Tommy asked me for a couch. He arrived with almost frozen feet. How can I describe Tommy? Tommy is a very talkative, humorous and friendly person with a lot of couchsurf experience. He told me a lot about his couchsurf adventures.
I showed him Roosendaal by night and we visited my favorite pub “de Heksenketel” and enjoyed the live music.
Tommy continued his bicycle trip the next morning when the temperature in Roosendaal was 14 degrees below zero.
Thank you Tommy for the good time.

Tommy gave me a last minute place to stay while I was going to be in the Netherlands. Really a nice guy with skills in making tosties(?) and tea, but only if you like earl grey, haha. It was really cold outside, so we just talked for a while, and then played fold-it. If you are a molecular biologist, this game is still really tough. I would recommend this person to anyone, and dont be afraid to bring something from your home country.

Tommy is an unique person, with a whole pile of masks (or characters) that he likes to hides behind. He is quite an acquired taste - being loud, vocal, funny, obnoxious (he knows this! so I'm not offending him!) entertaining, extremely expressive and once you get past the layers, he will grow on you! Just give it plenty of time and patience!!!

 

Tommy is just awesome - besides being absolutely funny and crazy he has a great knowledge on programming languages for Orang-Utans and special High-Five technologies. Even The Who named their Rock Opera after him... there's nothig to add I guess...

 

amazingly funny and annoying guy ;)
we had a nice talk about norway..he's enthousiastic and loud (in a good way!)

Tommy oh Tommy! We've met at the weekly meetings in Rotterdam a few weeks ago!

Tommy is one of those guys who is only quiet when he sleeps or when you are sleeping! Tommy is super to hang out with always in for some great fun, a talk and a laugh!

Tommy is a great enthousiastic couchsurfer. It's always fun to meet him, although his humor can be a bit strange. And it's probably not save to leave him alone with a coca-cola machine(or any other computer). I recommend meeting him, visiting Leiden and attending a Leiden meeting.

I dont think it is humanly possible to be bored when Tommy is around. He is always a positive addition to any meeting. He is good fun! And i think he actually talks more than me, which is quite impressive!

 

Tommy is great! I don't know how he does it, but he somehow manages to set up the Leiden CS community and at the same time assure that all the events in Utrecht turn into hugely entertaining parties :)

Awesome, amazing, friendly, funny, easy going, funky... I could go on for an hour and it still would not be enough to describe how great Tommy is.
So the best way to find out is to actually meet him!

Tommy and I like to dance on tables at Odessa on Monday nights with other couchsurfers

tom! sorry for answering so late but better late than never.
so i still play the païanoo..^^
that was very funny for me and christiane to meet you in Leiden, very nice city by the way. ehm many other things to see but I'll remind you that you eat so many disgusting things! dutch people tsss..^^
so hope we'll keep in touch and good luck with that norwegian girl!
kiss from christiane

 

Had a great time with Tommy in Paris. Our day at the Palace was very cool, not to mention the great dinner we had at Antoine's. Definitely meet Tommy, he's a great guy.

From the point of view of the barbarian girl I am. Surfing at tommy's was a really nice experience. I learnt a lot of "nice" jokes about babies !! and had a great time!

I am "sinking" I may come back what's more because Leiden is also worth veisiting!!

Very communicative and extrovert lad.
Great contribution in group dynamics.

 

What to say about Tommy... An interesting guy, and one you won't soon forget meeting. I definitely recommend meeting him. He lives the CS spirit.

 

Tommy says I always seem to be happy, but I think he always seems to be happy to :)
He suddenly appeared in the couchsurfing scene this summer, attending a LOT of meetings. He's definitely a very active couchsurfer. Fun to be around, good to have a laugh with. Oh, and of course, great to get married to ;)

My impression of him is that he's an active and happy guy who is a bit crazy,very spontaneous and has a golden heart. Hope the future brings more fun times with him.

Thomy is a really nice and funny guy,he offered the hospitality to me while he had alrady four surfers invited!That day I came on a scooter from Den Haag for CS meeting in Leiden,and,so I could drink beers without counting them.Thank you Thommy,C ya in the next CS meeting!

Tommy is a funny guy with a big heart
He'll make you feel home again
so don't let his photo scare you...

tommy is a really cool guy..we stayed 4 nights in his place...
he showed us how 5 couchsurfers can live together in the same apartment

 

With Tommy there is no dull moment or dull conversation. He can do any accent you like (exept perhaps posh british). Seriously addicted to couch surfing ;-).

I surfed Tommys couch for six days and it was a shitload of fun! Although he keeps on yelling random german things to me, he is a pleasant host. And his idea of the couchsurferwall is cool!

One of his biggest goals is: "Ich möchte eine Welt in der ich aus der Toilette trinken kann ohne Ausschlag zu kriegen". So he also cares for the environment. :D

See you at some CS-meeting!

 

At first I though he was just plain annoying. Shouting and making fun of everything. But he doesn't take himself too seriously, and once you're used to his style, you can have a lot of fun with him. This guy made me laugh so hard I got tears in my eyes!
Tommy, you're cool. And we'll meet again, I'm sure of it!

Three great days - pity it wasn't longer really - Tommy was a great host, even finding things to occupy me instead of sending me out into the cold rain. Hopefully we'll meet again in another life. Or this one...

 

Tommy is a unique collectors item especially at meetings. He talks and goofs with everybody this makes the meetings way more fun! Its a shame there's is only only three in a bikini I have met so far ;) Enjoy your time with Tommy I know you want it!

Tommy is a great guy to know in Utrecht. I tagged along with him and friends at a music festival while I was there and got introduced to lots of great music. I still wonder, though, where he got his Iowa accent.

Tommy is a very great,talktive and crazy person.
We had many talks and discussed many things between Euro and Asia cultures.
I realy had a wonderful visit in Leiden.If you want to visit Netherland,
to visit Leiden and Tommy is also a very good choice.

a real Oscar Wilde descendent.
a real couch surfer..
a real future crazy scientist...
I wish you all the best. Thank you for everything*

I liked his try, sarcastic (typical IT business) humor! Plus he has style in music and free software! :)

Tommy is a hilarish guy!
I don't think I have ever met anyone who made me laugh soooo hard. He does funny immitations and voices.
He is really a good guy!He even painted a bike for me once!how sweet is that!

 

Tommy - the man is legend. His tolerance for hijinks - enormous. It's probably kind to say that as guests we were 'interesting' but Tommy was a stirling host, touristing with us, hooking us up with sometimes dubious advice, I guess making up for our inadequecies in general in the surfing department. And he eats Dutch poison and has Dutch stairs! He's pretty much
Dutch! What more could you ask for?

he is a passionate host - takeing refugees in till his little room bursts! if he tells you he aint got space for you - its true, because then the whole floore will be covered with couchsurfers already ;)
thx for having me!

Tommy is such a friendly and intelligent guy; i really felt like he was true and wanted to help people. Definately glad i made his acquaintance.. and he even came to meet me in a suit!

Tommy's cool. He answerd our short notice request, even though he was hosting a couple of people already and didn't have enough space for the three of us, and asked his friend tho host us instead.
Also, he looked after us for the few hours we had to wait for his friend, which was real friendly.

sorry we couldn't say goodbye! and thanks a lot

Tommy is one crazy person! I had a great laugh when talking about beunotarians and practising 'Dutch streetlanguage' with him. He has lots of energy and loves the sweet 'lady' drinks... I'd say surf his couch!

I met Tommy on a tuesday meeting in Rotterdam. He has a distinct sense of humor: don't turn into disgusting street 'cause he takes you further than you want to go... Tommy is very social and lots of fun, never a dull moment with this guy. See ya next Tuesday!

Tommmmmmmmmy! What to say... The man is a legend, he picked us up from the train station at 2am on a rainy morning after we woke him up with our misjudged trip from Munich, he showed us around welcomed us with his easy going and friendly manner and laughed at us when we were far too stoned! I really enjoyed staying with him but watch out for the Dutch stairs! lovely person, wish you all the best mate and if you ever want your welcome where ever I am, Me and my baby crabs! :)

 

It was great to meet Tommy. Great to have a chat, and laugh with over beers. His delivery of the Wearwolf game is so enthusiastic, it is hard not to have a good time. Do not make the mistake and say he is from Scheidam. Defnitely worth meeting up with. We should grab a beer soon.

 

Tommy seems to me like a person who's very active in organizing/attending things on CS. A guy who's very obviously present, and who is there for you when you need him. Hi5!

Wow, this guy made quite an impression straight away. I had been away (travelling) for about a month and when I came back Tommy was one of the people that recently started to visit the weekly meetings. He came in later than I did, but entered the bar with a lot of enthousiasm and I was like.... WHO IS THAT? Well it became clear pretty quickly and now he's got this reference. See you around man ;)

Funny like, high five crazy guy..... We'll surelly meet around for drinks...

heey
this guy its owsum haha going out with dis man is cool he knows the places around leiden! you can find him on the leiden meetings and stuff byebye see you there

I'd sleeped with my friend for one night. In the morning we'd aten a delicious cheese!

 

Tommy is a very cheerful guy, and above all it's a great wingman !

So what do you think about the French accent ?

High Five ! ;-)

 

We encountered each other at the midsummernight event at Utrecht. We had some short but interesting chats. I was amazed by the way he can imitate all the English dialects. I first thought he was Canadian, then Irish, Australian, Scottish... but it turned out he was a plain Dutchman :-). Hope to meet him again soon (why not in Antwerp ?).

 

Tommy is one of the most enthusiastic couchsurfers I know. Always with lots of stories, most times about Norway, the country he loves. I hope he will find his way to that beautiful land.

He told a really weird story about a old lady putting her tong in his ear, but besides of that it is a interesting guy, fun and nice to meet!

Nice guy, we meet frequently at one of Roffas many bars, drinking a wide variety of beers, only thing that is constant is his urge to make an extreme amount of extremely bad word jokes... Keep up the good work! ;)

Tommy.. a really fun guy! It's impossible to have a dull moment around this guy. He will make you laugh non- stop, has great stories, and makes you feel like you have been friends with him forever. Not to be missed if you happen by Leiden.

After hunting treasures on the streets of Utrecht, after chilling on a couch in the park listening to his American, British, Norvegian and Russian accent :), after spending hours talking about his life conceptions and after dragging him in a sports bar to see his second football match ever, after all this, I can say Tommy is a great company and a person who knows how to make his way in any situation, with any type of persons. Meet him, gain his "humour trust" and the rest will come...

Hmmm, there seems to be a trend emerging here. Laughs, jokes (good/bad), enthusiasm, talkative, fun. All very true! Never a dull moment! This guy is very easy going, not shy, but also respectful and decent. We had an enjoyable wander round Maastricht while poor Mia studied and prepared to move house. Good times!

Beware! Slightly defected robot is running amok on the grounds of the insane asylum! I would not trust him with ducttape but other than that a very nice guy.

 

After the midsummermeeting he showed up quite often and also made my happy offline by promoting Utrecht on every thinkable group. It is good to have a big Utrecht-fan in Leiden (which is by the way also a very nice city), especially when it is a really cool and funny guy.

Tommy is very talkative and enthousiastic person.
I hosted him, but we did not have a great start, because I was tired of my very busy week. Maybe we can do it again sometime when I have more energy ;-)

With Tommy you can always have a laugh. Crazy person with lots of energy.

Always in for a laugh. Like that. Laughing is good. Quite weird guy, also good. See you soon Tommy!

 

Tommehh!

Intelligent, easy going and always in for a good or a bad joke. Even though he's not living in Rotterdam he still visits some meetings upthere and that's really nice cos this guy is always in for an interesting conversation!

 

Tommy is a crazy, fun and energetic creature.
His room is big with TWO couches!..both comfy for sleeping on =)
The best thing about staying at Tommy's is he is definitely entertaining!
He is also very kind, welcoming, open and social, but with a well-expected dark sense of humor which fits the rest of his personality.
He puts in a lot effort to help you out, and is a very dedicated member of CouchSurfing.

All-in-all, a really great guy!
I highly recommend getting to know him!

He is very funny guy to hang out with. And I'm always welcome at his place, everytime. He's a very good host.

Tommy is kinda crazy in a funny way and can talk Norwegian and Swedish well although he is Dutch! His humor is 1 km under the table and hilarious! :)

hmm he is even weirder than me soo yeah respect =p he is always hitting me with a newspaper and makes jokes bout me though i have never got offence cos of it=pppp really positive person.....

Tommy showed me a few cool places in Leiden, we had some good laughs and he introduced me to some nice people.

To bad I couldn't go out at night with him and his friends because I was following courses at Leiden University over the weekend.

he is a very nice gay!! I met him in Leiden, at "De burch", and we had a really good time talking about books, relationships, Barcelona, Netherlands...it was nice!!

He's like a Great Danish dog... lot's of bark, no bite, clears the table wih his tail and worst case scenario: he'll lick you to death.
Definitely worth hanging out with...

Wow! It's really good to see this guy here at CS 'cause i think he's got the real CS spirit! :) I met him at highschool, he is really energetic, enthousiast and open minded. Meet him!

Although he doesn't drink, he is quite funny. He says he doesn't drink because he has to take care of his brain, but in reality this is because he is a Russian spy. He pretends to be Dutch and tries to confuse the enemy with his Norwegian smile, but I know his real name is Boris.
