Naz Gassiep

Naz is awesome. He's generous with his time, his caring & his thoughts. He's patient & explained some really cool tech concepts for me while he was at the CSC. The 7-hour massage helps the local economy, so does getting all the orange juice! Naz is an cool person to meet. I hope to run into him somewhere else on the planet.

When the whole world wonders were is Nazz? Nazz will be basking in the glory of his adventures. He can land up at your door at anytime if there is any fun calling on him. He is pretty much a bouncing castle from Australia to Thailand to Australia to Thailand to South Africa all in just a couple of months. I will wait for your next call Nazz, to tell me your just a drive away ;)

I met Naz at the 2008 Couchsurfing collective in Thailand where we became room mates for a month. I also surfed at both Naz's place in Melbourne and his parent's place where himself, his housemate and all his family made me feel extremely welcomed.

Naz does a great job of balancing responsibility with adventure and is extremely considerate of others. Certainly hope we get the chance to travel together again in the future.

If you're looking for a host and you enjoy interesting debate, diving, rock climbing, pizza or ice cream sundaes then you'll love surfing at his place.

Naz was one of the most helpful, friendly, influential people at the thailand collective. he's even the reason the collective was IN thailand in the first place! saving kittens or introducing us to the delicacies of thailand, he brought a unique and positive perspective to the house that i only wish we had gotten a little more of! alas, Naz is a traveling man...

Naz is a very caring, openhearted and also funny person. I really hope we meet again one day! Maybe in Germany or Australia...?

I briefly met Naz in Bangkok and had a wonderful time exploring the city with him!

I am so thankful to Naz for making the long journey from Australia to Rotterdam to participate in the CSC-R. Naz is a truly talented developer with combined with a cheerful personality and a razor sharp whit. I have learned many things while in his company. I am especially thankful for the time he took to travel with me to Switzerland. I feel like I have made a great new friend. Thank you so much Naz!

Naz has an answer for everything. If you ask him about pet allergies, blue diode scanning technologies, heating pad chemical reactions or the merits of drinking whole milk vs half(ass) milk he'll explain to you, in a clear manner, with at least 3 reasons why, citing at least 3 sources supporting his reasoning.

In short ... he's rad. We've had a ton of great talks at the Rotterdam Collective, where do I find a chain so that he won't leave.

Naz is a great guy. He is a very interesting person to talk to due to many reasons. He is a well educated man from a completely different background, which makes for great conversations.
He came to the collective for a few days, ending up staying for almost two weeks!

I met Naz at the CSC-Techmeeting 22 June of 2007. Although I'm still quite amazed of the love at the CSC in general, Naz was one of the fellows that was quit, and brought peace and harmony :)

Cheers mate! 'll see again!

Naz has so much to tell anyone. Even though he doesn't drink (good for you Naz) he still sociolizes like the rest of us drunk asses. He is so much fun and does the most exciting stories. If you ever get the chance to host Naz, grab it!!!!

Naz is an energising person who you should take along if you want to go into the great outdoors- I hope to see you in Johannesburg again.
