Ian Hong Chan

I knew him since college. This guy is smart and fun to hang out with.

Josh is smart, easy going, friendly and he has a terrific sense of humour. He's full of funny and creative ideas in his mind!

Joshua and I were both hosted by Anders in Oslo at the same time. I had fun sharing my first days in Oslo with him and with good teamwork(!) we were able to find our way to Korketrekkeren to go sledding, which was a blast! (I'll send you the pictures soon!) He seemed like a kind and smart guy. He was a good roommate as well, I had absolutely no problem sharing the living room with him. Josh, I'm looking you up if I find myself in Hong Kong any time soon!

 

Joshua is a great guy! He surfed my couch for three nights and I guided him through Oslo. He also made me a splendid chinese dish! Do not hesitate to host or surf with Joshua!

Joshua is a really nice and easy going person. I hosted him in my room for one day. We spend some time sighseeing the main touristic atraction in Oslo like the new opera house, the parlament, castle and the city hall. It was nice to meet and host him. :)

Joshua was a brilliant host. I had loads of fun with him and his friends in Hong Kong. Hope to meet up with him next time in Hong Kong or wherever are paths may cross.

ian came and couchsurfed me, and then he left to go out - but then he came back in the evening. Then he left in the morning, then he came back in the evening. We didn t even have any of this bed type nonsense.
cool guy.

As Josh was my first hosting experience I had no idea what to expect and it probabaly showed! Never the less Josh was polite and very willing to try or see whatever we suggested.

I enjoyed hosting Joshua, it was good to have Yum Cha with him and watch Dark Knight, he was very pleasant, it's a shame I got off to a bad start, with the public transport and trains not running, which left me feeling a bit uncomforatable, but I think all in all it was a positive experience

Hey Josh!!!!!
This crazy kid from Hong Kong was a really good CSer and I'm pretty sure we discovered a new face of Josh: the drunken master!!! Real good fun, good talk and good battle!!
See ya somewhere someday man.

Joshua stayed with me a few days and he was just great to have around. He was open-minded (without letting his brains fall out) and blended in with us locals quite well. He even joined us for some bushwalking in the snow and pub-going (somewhat polar opposites). He also has an impressive movie database - good taste in movies too I must add.

It was great to have Joshua stay with us for a few days while he was in Adelaide. He was a pleasure to have in our home and even cooked us a nice meal.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels in Australia and beyond.

Joshua’s my first couchsurfer and I would say it was a great first hosting experience. He was very respectful, easy to talk to and on a whole a very,very nice guy.he even waited patiently while my friend and I did some impromptu window shopping when we all went out.owh and thanks to him, im 10 hongkong dollars richer.hehee.i’d be happy to host him again, no doubt =)

Over the time that Josh stayed with us, we found it was good to have him around. he is a great guy, a little quiet at first but he did grow on us positively. he interacted with the whole family, made good conversation, and was very polite to us. we would of offerd to keep him here for longer but we had someone else coming to stay. next time you, Jess and I will have a day out Josh, and don't forget to bring one of your moms recipes for my mum. :D all the best with your studies.

Josh seemed like a nice quiet young man.At the time of Ian's visit I had a young Scottish lady staying with me and he seemed to talk over her ignore when she was speaking. Apart from this downloading from hosts was rude until my son asked to cease to which Ian obliged. Remember people who host do so with open hearts and act accordingly

felt like there was advantage taken with the hosts eg internet use. didn't really interact with us much either.

 

Seemed like a nice guy to me personally, but felt there was some advantage taken in terms of the given hospitality. over use of internet, not interacting with the 4 hosts due to internet use. From conversation in groups, I felt he was slightly chauvanistic towards my girlfriend (eg shooshing her a few times while it was predominatnly male company). Did appreciate the Hong Kong Dollars as memorabilia and some of the business chats.

Ian was well... An absolute pleasure to host!!!!! He is easy going, friendly, excellent company and he has a terrific sense of humour. I would be more than happy to host him again for any amount of time!!!

 

I offered Josh a couch last minute, then discovered I had work to do that required my full attention. It wasn't a very good time for me to host and subsequently I'd have to say I did pretty crappy job at it. The neutral overall experience rating is therefore a reflection on me, more than anything else.
Josh though, seemed pretty easy going, and seemed to take my requests for space in his stride, which I greatly appreciated. He also seems to be most willing to express his opinion about the world and be interested in those of others, a worthwhile trait.

Joshua was my first Couch surfer, he was a friendly, polite and trustworthy guy it was just a shame I was bed ridden so I couldn't show him the nightlife! I hope to visit Hong Kong soon!

 

Josh was great! He kept me company when we were stranded on the side of the road at 2am! He gave me cool presents and came out and played pool with us. He's very quiet and I'm very loud, so I think I did ALL the talking! He is our first couch surfer who is not a german girl! Yay!
Check out his blog, it will have a story of our adventure of running out of petrol in the middle of the night!

Josh only stayed at my place for one night but it was a good night (after I found him) :). A very nice and friendly guy, we stayed up late watchin Brandon Lee. Hope you enjoyed australia! :)

 

We welcomed Josh to our home, even though he thinks I am a bit of an "authoritah" ! :) I see that after he left my house he did not learn from my 'authoritah' though !

WARNING: He WILL sit up until around 3am (later IF you don't catch him) using his own computer & on the hosts Internet expense! (NOT NICE Josh to abuse the generosity of a host). He is not a 'bad kid' and he knows that, because I told him so! He was at our home at a time I 'helped some CSer's out' and we had 5 couch surfers staying! House was full & busy, I just had to set some ground rules! If that is authority well - hmm it's our home after all! You have to just "play the game" Josh in those cases & be greatful for the warm bed & securty you got in a big city!

Josh was a roomie of two good friends of me for over half a year in the USA. So the three got good to know each other. When he asked me if he could spend one night in Vienna on my couch, I knew before what a great guy he is! And my expectations came true, because Josh is an uncomplicated, nice guy, full of information and interested in everything. Unfortunately, he could only stay one night - hope to see Josh soon again!

Josh was my roommate for about 4 months during our exchange semester in new orleans. after that he visited us in our hometown for 2 days. Josh is really easy going and uncomplicated. He's interested in absolutely everything!
Really hope we see each other again some time, Josh!

It was cool to have you here in St. Gallen. I enjoyed talking to you about Hong Kong and how life is there. Hope I can visit you once! Cheers

 

Josh is a good person, trustworthy, nice and respectful.
Good luck for your exams, and promise me that there will be no jumping off the twentyfirst floor :o)

Thanks to Josh, I now know not only the cliche places of HK (although he also agreed to accompany me to ultra-touristy places such as the Peak) but he was happy to walk with me for hours and just explore what comes along. With Josh, it's possible to talk about literally anything and I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of German and Austrian history which is, embarrassinlgy, far better than mine. Josh, do come and see for yourself what it's all about!

Oh this one was a long time in posting! I hosted Josh last year some time (or early this year for at least three days but i think it was longer... Here's what I do remember: Josh was out adventuring. He was ready for anything as so many surfers are and was enthusiastic about new experiences. Upon learning I cooked, he decided to pick my brain. I only hope that I helped. Now, almost a year later, I hear he is doing well. Kudos my friend!

 

Josh is a pretty flexible person about itinerary - he put up with me getting lost and indecisiveness about how to spend the evening before a party on New Year's Eve! I'm happy we got to spend some time together and have some deep conversations. Josh made a great first CSer to host in the US! I'll definitely look into going to Hong Kong and invading your couch!

I met Ian during the new year's party. He is very friendly, and we had really good conversations. I hope he comes back to Seattle some time, and I hope to see him in my future travels.

Josh is a badass with Darth Vader skills! Awesome...for sure! He is responsible for renaming my fish before surfing to the NW...they have new names and an interesting story to tell now :) Josh you are welcome back any time!

Joshua was extremely sweet and respectful. My roommates and I enjoyed interacting with him. I would definitely host him anytime.
