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.

Kristen was the first kiwi I got to actually spend time with. It wasn't until I met others that i realized they weren't all like her (and thats a compliment to her by the way). Kristen added that little bit of spice to life that made it much more enjoyable. Can't wait to see her again (at burning man maybe?)

Kristin is a delightful human. I had the pleasure of living with her for a number of months.. and well, I miss her bunches! She just might have the sweetest demeanor I have ever come across. In fact, I don't think she has any flaws! Unless you count overconsumption of Marmite?! She's done so many nice things for me (and the rest of the group) it'll be hard to repay her. No doubt, She's one of NZs finest... And I can't wait to see her on this side of the pacific. Love you Kristin!

I'm completely biased of course as she is my beloved daughter, but I can also see her for the special person she is - intelligent, funny, accepting, strong, brave, compassionate .... She is great to spend time with, is a great conversationist - that includes being able to listen!, and is versatile - full of surprises.

CS loves Kristin. She's responsible for making our ultra-cool new and improved front page. I love Kristin not only for her great work, but, for perhaps fifty other reasons (52 including her accent and giggle!) I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live with her at the CSCNZ. It is just a fact: She is top notch. She's also super generous... post-collective she hosted us for several days in Auckland just as we were leaving NZ. I'm thankful that she was the one to deliver us to the airport, one of the last memories from an awesome stay in NZ.. it was like icing on the cake. Kristin, I can't wait for the adventures to continue when you come stateside this summer for BM!
