Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I think hospitality exchange is the best way to get to know other people. Even in your own country you can easily find the people with the same interest on this website. I met lots of different people from different countries. All those people give some you some knowlegde about the world. And that's the place were you live, so that can be usefull ;)
I think CouchSurfing and Hospitality Club have changed my life and that from others, both in a good way.

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.

Pieter stayed at my cottage in Dublin a few years ago (was it 2006?).

He's pretty laid back as far as I can remember.
