Positive reference for Sam (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/samuel-tingle) Sam stayed with me for a couple of nights in NYC while he was attending an awards ceremony. He is easygoing and great to talk too and it was cool being able to host him for his first couchsurfing experience. I enjoyed hearing about his experiences traveling and his days out in NYC. Due to his commitments we didn't get to hang out much but I hope we run into each other in the future so I can get to know him better. Sam's reference: Ant was a great host for NYC! His apartment was accessible from anywhere on Manhattan with just a quick subway ride. He was very flexible and arranged access to his home in whatever way worked with my schedule. I am so thankful for his generosity. He provided great conversation and a very very comfortable air mattress. I am very glad he was part of my NYC experience.
Positive reference for Elijah (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/elijah-summers) I hosted Elijah as a last minute request for a weekend in NYC, he is friendly and easy to get on with and I enjoyed hearing about his experiences as a musician.
Positive reference for Gaetano (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/gaetano) Gaetano stayed with me for four days in NYC and is a great surfer. He arrived with some great grappa and tickets to the Late Show (which I unfortunately didn't read properly and we missed the start time). He is an independent traveler and I enjoyed catching up with him in the evenings for dinner to hear about his experiences and perspectives of NYC, he is also into politics and we had some nice conversations about his experiences of traveling and living in Italy. I would highly recommend hosting him! Geatano's reference: First time to use couchsurfing, and saying I enjoyed my stay with Ant would be a huge understatement: I really, really loved it. First of all, he is a very welcoming host, he will do anything to make you feel at home. We have several common interests, so we got along pretty quickly. We had some great meals together and talked about a lot of different subjects. I really enjoy...
Positive reference for Jonathan (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jonathan-redaelly) Jonathan has a great attitude to couch surfing having both hosted and stayed with people before, it was cool being able to host him for a few days in NYC while he was attending a conference. He is quiet and reserved and perhaps because of his schedule he seemed more interested in relaxing than exploring NYC although it was cool to get out with him to Korea-town and to a local Italian restaurant. Jonathan's reference for me: Ant is really nice guy who knows a lot about the city. He himself is a very interesting kind of guy and I am so thankful to have gotten the chance to meet and spend some time with him. If you are looking for not just a host, but friend, then consider staying with Ant.
Positive reference for Oom (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/oomy) Oom is a great surfer, I was able to host him for a couple in nights in NYC, he is a great chef and it was cool hearing about his experiences working with famous chefs in Thailand and the US - it was cool showing him Chinatown and getting some tips for my cooking! He is thoughtful and respectful, bringing a nice gift from Thailand and buying me breakfast. Oom's reference: Ant is a great host, friendly, fun and helpful = I have the wonderful time in New York City! πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­πŸ•ΊπŸ»πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
Positive reference for Boudewijn (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/boudewijn-lamper) It was great being able to host Boudewijn for a couple of nights in NYC at the start of his trip touring the US as a marimba musician. Boudewijn is a great guy, easy going and it was great hearing about his experiences in music and traveling, it was cool being able to show him Chinatown and Central Park. Boudewijn's reference: Ant is an intelligent, friendly guy who owns a small apartment conveniently located in Manhattan. It was cool to be able to hang out with another couchsurfer who was staying there as well while Ant was working. Hope to be able to meet again when I'm back in NYC.
Positive reference for Gio (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/giovanni-guiducci-2) It was cool being able to host Gio for a week for his first couch surfing experience. Gio is friendly, considerate and respectful, he loves to travel and it was great being able to share some experiences of NYC with him. I enjoyed showing him around my neighborhood and hearing about his daily trips around the city. He brought me a nice gift from his home town and I hope he will have alot of positive experiences from couch surfing.
