About Me

I am Anthony Chan 陳俊言 (Chinese name), from Hong Kong. Currently based in London. Enjoy travelling around and taking photos. Sometimes I put my journey on Youtube to share with others

Previous exciting adventures
Doing fieldwork on glaciers in Iceland
Went on an expedition in the Himalayas at the age of 16
Slept at a German train in the train station as I missed my last train back.

Just finished my Master's and will be a PhD student this fall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had memorable and lovely experiences with hosts in warm showers (similar to couch surfing, but for bikers) during my past cycling trips and met lots of new friends, so I want to have a similar experience on couch surfing when I am not travelling on a bike.

I currently don't own a place myself so I am unable to host but if I get my own flat or studio I'll definetly try to host fellow travellers in the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Expedition to the Himalayas
In the summer of 2014, I joined an Expedition with Youth Endurance Network to Ladakh. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me due to the momentous scale of the expedition itself in terms of selection, preparation and execution. During this expedition, our team was able to conduct a glaciological report on top of the Parang Glacier despite hazardous weather conditions such as whiteouts and snow storms.
