From CHANPAB Montreal, Canada Sep 26 Positive Sebastian is an open and respectful guest. we enjoyed dinner and good conversations together. hope he enjoys Montreal even winter is starting soon... keep in touch!
From Juliane Boll Nanaimo, Canada Sep 8 Positive I met him in Nanaimo at the Painted Turtle Guesthouse and we spend two days in Nanaimo - walking around. Then we decided to travel together for 3 days and he is a really perfect guy!
Travel with him if you have the possiblity and you will never forget it.
Thanks for everything! We have to meet again!!!
From Christiane Moessner Nanaimo, Canada Aug 19 Positive After meeting at the PTG, we went cycling to the Nanaimo River (accidentally :D) and had some good conversation there! He is open and easy going, it was great to get to know you!
From Don Chong Singapore, Singapore Jul 5 Positive Tiara is a good and friendly host. He is a guru in computer open-source knowledge. But unforunately that he is also moving in 2 months time to Toronto or Halifax otherwise I would think that any couchsurfers would enjoy downtown Vancouver when surfing his couch!
From Helena Karhu Copenhagen, Denmark Apr 29 Positive
What can I say? :) Certainly a memorable stay in a real community appartment, so Berlin. Tiara is a perfect host for independent couchsurfers, and it was great to spend the last evening together visiting a puppet show and a culture centre. Hoping to see you again!
From ANU* Helsinki, Finland Jun 2, 2007 Positive Tiara totally rocked the Tech Room table & helping out with unfortunate consequences of Ubuntu on my laptop...
Then it was quite natural to ask to be hosted by him up in Wellington on my way up - the "lounge" was occupied by others but floorsurfing was fine, as well as Oblong and dinner and all that.. 2 days was too short so better get your ass back up to Europe someday :)
From Leonardo Silveira Vila Velha, Brazil May 9, 2007 Positive I did not talk much with you man, but I am living a reference b/c I had a good feeling about ya. You remind me of a Ninja.....smooth, stealth. Just wanted to share what I felt, with the unusual thinking. Cheers to you man and enjoy life.
From Kuna Rasmussen Otterup, Denmark Apr 9, 2007 Positive Sebastian is a very nice and easy going smart guy, and I really enjoyed staying a his place and helping out making a compost bin...! He's a very calm person and I enjoyed our conversations. Though not super handy with a hammer, he definately outsmarts the most when it comes to computers! If still in Wellington he'll take you to 128, which is a great place where you'll meet even more cool people!
From Kristen W Auckland, New Zealand Mar 3, 2007 Positive liked talking the night we met. i like his relaxed easy going manner. smart and very easy to converse with. good person to be around.
From STAMP Hunker, United States Feb 28, 2007 Positive I had a good conversation with him. All in all a good guy and hard worker. He helped out considerably here at the collective. A pleasure to be around.
From Richard Jeong Washington, United States Feb 28, 2007 Positive Sebastian a good fool, if a quiet one. Never got to talk to him till Anu decided ubuntu was a good idea on her new laptop. Fun was had by all working with partitions, funky new hardware, and external drives... righttt. :)
From Joe Edelman Northampton, United States Feb 28, 2007 Positive Tiara is a co-worker, an inspiration, and a very good guy. He travels the world giving his time to worthy causes, and he's outrageously competent. Plus, he knows that { BIRD + HAT = BIRDHAT }.
From Christopher Ayling Edmonton, Canada Feb 26, 2007 Positive Sebastian rocks! He's easygoing and brings a genuine warmth with him. Great to talk to and he makes a damb fine meal! Thanks for the Zuzu! We shall meet again!
From ShAi* Mumbai, India Feb 25, 2007 Positive I really enjoyed meeting Sebastian. He's quiet, but deep and amazingly focussed. He and I had some fantastic conversations, and made me realise that he is interested in so many things and is pretty cool...he has a silent manner, but its pretty efficient and gets things done :)
I think he is a wonderful person to work around, I learnt so much of how not to get distracted from him, and he cooks some really good veggie food!!
I think he would make a wonderful and non obstrusive host and pretty much someone you can talk to anything about, and have some wonderful chats and learn quite a bit. His calmness is definitely soothing and immediately makes you feel relaxed around him...he is helpful and kind and considerate :-)
Definitely recommended!
From Vicki Spiers Takaka, New Zealand Feb 23, 2007 Positive we met Tiara at the collective in Nelson. It was nice that he took time out from his projects to play pool with Karlin.
From Henry Van Campa Nelson, New Zealand Feb 23, 2007 Positive Sebastian is a nice geek with cool looking van with personalised paintings. We had some interesting chats at the Collective in Nelson.
From DIGS Portland, United States Feb 19, 2007 Positive Everywhere I go, it seems Tiara precedes me. I wish I'd surfed his van. It would just sync up an otherwise joyously eerie phenomena. It was good to actually meet him. I feel like my immanent future's in good hands.
From ALORND Bayreuth, Germany Jan 22, 2007 Positive very nice guy. helpful, intersting, fun.
From QUICHE POIREAU Brighton, United Kingdom Oct 10, 2006 Positive He made me sleep on the floor on my futur appartement when i was ready to sleep in my car.
From Sid Carter Wellington, New Zealand Aug 19, 2006 Positive Sebastian was a wonderful host, for my first couchsurfing experience. And I have been invited for two more days stay at his place before I leave Wellington. Isn't he awesome or what ? :)
From Josh Borts Hong Kong Island, China Aug 5, 2006 Positive Colleague/roomate @ GeekCorps Mali. I lived and worked with Sebastian for around a month in Bamako. We often spent our time at the local food spots trying to communicate with the women behind the table. He is certainly a chill guy who is quite spontaneous (shaving his very nice goatee).
From Dale Rogers Canberra, Australia Jul 19, 2006 Sebastian is a friendly and polite guest. Sebastian stayed with my girlfriend and I in our home in Canberra. He was friendly and polite. He was an interesting person with some interesting experiences and stories to tell. We would gladly host Sebastian again. Good luck in NZ Seb.
