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 ;)

From Alexandra Myers Austin, United States Jul 17, 2007 Positive Pieter and Jenna are great hosts. At the end of my very long, academic trip in the Netherlands, they made sure I had some good dinners, met their friends, saw the town, and even had time to relax with a movie. Pieter really embodies the spirit of couchsurfing and it is an honor to have stayed at his place. Thanks y'all!

From Femke Dekker Rotterdam, Netherlands Apr 23, 2007 Positive Pieter is a fun guy. He owns some cool t-shirts. Lets people write on his walls. Has a beautifull garden and a weird sense of humour (which I like).
I've spent a day on the beach with him and we ended up having a BBQ at his house.
From Alfredo Guzman The Hague, Netherlands Apr 15, 2007 Positive So far, we met twice in gatherings/meetings (Once in his house and the second in Rotterdam). We talked for some time and I can sense he's someone you can trust.

Pieter is a fun guy! Nice and easy going!

From Drayton Hiers New York, United States Jan 2, 2007 Positive Has everyone noticed that Pieter made himself a beer icon under special considerations? Is that not the coolest thing ever?
From CARROTSHAKE Paris, France Dec 21, 2006 Positive Pieter may claim to be "extremely negative" but by contrast, I can only think of "extremely positive" things to say about him. In fact, he is kind of like a teddy bear and he looks really swell in festive purple hats. Those are about the biggest complements a girl like me knows how to give. period.
From KAOXONI Cologne, Germany Dec 17, 2006 Positive I had a lovely time with Pieter and Jenna when they surfed my couch in December. To summarize, they were like family the way I really like it. We shared a spontaneous Sinterklaas(nl)/Nikolaus(de)[St. Nicholas] celebration, cooked together, played games together, even talked about family settings etc... Pieter is an experienced host, and subsequently was a marvelous guest, thoughtful, helpful, reliabe, sharing, wow! Thank you for taking care of my fridge and all the other unimposing details. Rest assured that made a huge difference! Hope to see you around another time!
From Maikel Lourenssen Oss, Netherlands Dec 12, 2006 Positive Although he was wearing a t-shirt with the text: Extremely Negative... My experience was very positive and could also be called extremely positive.
Probably we will meet again.
From Frédéric Brodeur Paris, France Dec 11, 2006 Positive I always have good night with this guy... whatever if it's for drinking, dancing (maybe we will need dance lesson), or pillow fighting...in fact he's probably the craziest guy with a pillow in his hand!!! ;) It will be a pleasure to see you again Pieter!
From Jerome LI-THIAO-TE Paris, France Dec 6, 2006 Positive Amazing! Suprising! Funny! Crazy! Smart! wow a lots of thing. Pieter and I met in several meetings in CS parisian meetings. It was my pleasure to have fun with him and I hope we'll have a drink soon in Netherlands. Take care!
From EUNE Chatou, France Dec 4, 2006 Positive pieter is also able to have extremely POSITIVE references... be sure to spend a great time if you're planing to see this huge brown bear. his funny faces are nearly as good as mines !
we spent a great time at rotterdam meeting, he's so friendly and funny, and our pillow fight through rotterdam's street was awesome!
From Walter Heck Homer, United States Nov 29, 2006 Positive Pietertje is a very nice guy. He is open and always willing to help. I suppose he is just as much a hosting nut as I am. I will be sorry to see him leave for Finland
From Amit Naamani Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel Nov 25, 2006 Positive great guy with wonderful hospitality and wonderful taste in music! haha
chill in his place if in Den Haag!

From HAPPYMIK Vancouver, Canada Nov 20, 2006 Positive It seems to me that; this guy is a great drinker and a fun person
From TOOKI La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland Nov 20, 2006 Positive Pieter is devoted and active in CS project. Met him in my place during the preparation of Paris proposal for 2007 collective. Thank you for this pleasurable present you offer me and see you soon!
From Larry Greweldinger Rotterdam, Netherlands Oct 26, 2006 Positive Pieter is a cool bloke. I first met him at a cs gathering in Rotterdam. A few months later he offered me a place on his couch after a gig in the Hague. Very friendly and relaxed guy.
From Urbian Fitz-James Rotterdam, Netherlands Sep 19, 2006 Positive Nice he is bigger in real life than on tv!!
From Jeroen Tichelaar Delft, Netherlands Sep 12, 2006 Positive Had a lot of good laughs and beers with this guy!
From Eleanor Baker Rotterdam, Netherlands Sep 11, 2006 Positive Pieter is a really nice and friendly guy, great to talk to and has a great sense of humour, and he owns a cool Percy the Ska Pig t-shirt. Hope to see you again soon.
From Grant Readle San Diego, United States Aug 14, 2006 Positive Really laid back and fun person, a great guide for Haag and Holland as a whole. Strongly reccommended.
From Maaike Schut The Hague, Netherlands Aug 13, 2006 Positive The fun thing is: I saw couchsurfing on Dutch TV, Me and my friend immediately hooked up. Next thing I got in my mailbox was a invitation for a BBQ from pieter, being new at this I asked him a lot (sorry for that Pieter) that same week I decided to hook up and meet Pieter and the couchpotatoes at his place.Needless to say: I did not see my bed that night! Had a blast.
From Melissa Andrada Edinburgh, United Kingdom Aug 11, 2006 Negative I am sure that Pieter is a nice guy, and is normally a great host, but unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to witness that first-hand. First, he overbooked his house, and they were about 15 other travelers staying in his one-bedroom house, according to his profile he can only host a maximum of 10 couchsurfers. Because they were so many couch surfers, my friend and i had absolutely no place to sleep, all the couches, air matresses, and even the yard were occupied! So, at 1am, we decided to just head back to Amsterdam!! Pieter never even called to apologize or check to see if we made it back okay. Needless to say, I was thorougly disappointed with my experience.
From Somicha lovesthebigblue... Rotterdam, Netherlands Aug 2, 2006 Positive He was a fun guy to visit, the barbeque was fun!
This guy loves roasted sausages!
From Gerryt Hooning Rotterdam, Netherlands Jul 31, 2006 Positive He hosted a CS and HC meeting at his place in The Hague. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Good food, Good company, Nice easygoing guy. |
