After bumping into Pete at Small World festival in Kent while we helped a lady with her stall and tried to find me a ride to London, he instantly offered me his couch in Manchester, to which I could not refuse! He broke my phobia of bike riding by taking me to critical mass where we had THE BEST time dancing with fellow massers. As much as I didn't stay at your house, you were the catalyst for my incredible time in Manchester and I am so glad I met you. Ill be home at the end of february, come and hang with me man!

MR Happy! Is happy most of the time. He is overflowing with positive energy and is constantly busy doing things, like eating banana's and trying to sell a car. Very interesting guy to be with and have as a friend. Had the best time with him on Australia's west coast.
From Kevin Ashforth Toronto, Canada Oct 14
Petey is a happy go lucky bloke who is always keen for a good time and makes for great company.

There's some people with which you instantly click. There's some people who carry their own good vibes radiostation. There's also people who can reach the top shelves when you cannot. Happy Pete is all of the above... and so much more!
From Guilherme Henrique Coimbra, Portugal Oct 10
Pete had host me and an italian csurfer. It was really good and he take us to know a different Manchester while we stayed there. It was amazing. Thanks man!
From Mehran Munich, Germany Oct 9
I have met Pete Rustage at the Oktoberfest in Munich as a tall guy with long hair and a big smile on his face. I was impressed about the impact of his positive aura on me and on others. Most of the people have only a small comfort zone, but not Pete. His comfort zone is the whole world, or in other words, everywhere everytime with everyone. He has written a little book; you have to read it if you want to understand him better. It is amazing to share time with him, especially for people who are open minded. He motivated me to join the couch surfing community. Thank you Pete.
From Ricardo Ayala Brussels, Belgium Oct 7
An amazingly wonderful, beautiful and fantabulous person! Really good fun, interested and interesting!!!
Surfing Mr Happy's couch was also an insightful chance to access his words-of-wisdom notebook (facts of wisdom, too) which touched my mind and my soul: spiritual sustenance on a corporal sustenance table. Also, the time I spent with Pete was a great way to knowing Manchester differently, by riding a £10 cycle : )
Thank you very much, Pete.
From TAJNAT Vienna, Austria Oct 5
Being with you is so much fun! I really enjoyed every moment. Thank you, tall man from Manchester, for every odd, confusing, amazing and inspiring moment. I'm still fascinated by the impact your permanently good mood has on people. Next time let's find out if Vienna is ready for Mr Happy!
From Laura S. A Coruna, Spain Oct 1
his nickname does him justice, he really is smiling 24/7. he hosted me for a couple of days in Manchester, took me cycling and showed me around the city. and it was good fun watching him interact with the ladies at the bbc reception desk :) hope you get that free tour soon, or the job!
From Julian and Brianne Arnold Yellowknife, Canada Sep 29
I thought I was used to being the centre of attention travelling in remote place in Asia but try walking around with this friendly giant, who's smile never leaves his face who wears a "Mr Happy" tshirt during a Malaysia festival weekend where you are the only three foreigners on the beach and THEN you will know what being the centre of attention is like. One of the best random encounters so far! :D
From Diana Tortora Patane Rome, Italy Sep 12

Pete is an energetic, upbeat guy who really is in the moment. We loved the midnight ride around the place he calls home! The food was pretty cool too! Thanks for everything.

Pete and I explored Manchester together. It was a lovely English day and we went to China town, Manch gigs on the street and historical building tours. Fortunately our final destination was Old Trafford stadium to see USA vs Canada. Nice weather, good conversation, and great match. I enjoined to travel with Pete!

From Madeleine Radke Brisbane, Australia Feb 22, 2011
I first met Pete years ago when we were both living in West End. We caught up at a bunch of parties around QLD, shenanigans and headbanging and singalongs ensued. We kept in touch and i ended up on a roadtrip with him headed south from Brisbane to Melbourne and the Rainbow Serpent Festival. Pete was an awesome no-plans, no-worries travel companion, and we saw many amazing things and people and places on our trip. Fair and honest to travel with, we held up alright under some strenuous (disaster zone) situations and made it out the other side. Thanks for the ride Pete, see you in NZ sometime :D Much love for this man, the infamous Mr Happy
From Gin Shulist Toronto, Canada Jan 14, 2011
Pete is so full of energy and creativity and wonder. He is a free spirit with a genuine sense of curiosity and a deep love of music. He is resourceful, passionate, and always eager to make new friends. His enthusiasm for life is contagious!
