From XiaoLi Liu Chengdu, China Aug 23 Positive Bown is a cool guy.i'm amazed at his 7 years travelling,and his crazy movie!hope to meet u again at YunNan the next year:)
From TIGGERTIGER1 Lijiang, China Aug 11 Positive Roch is an interesting character. A bit of an enigma: a vagabound yet very housetrained; a rolling stone who gathers moss; a constant traveller who is both lost and found. Hope you find what you are looking for . . .
From Erin Grumbach Vancouver, Canada Apr 20 Positive Over the past couple of years Roch and I have morphed our couch host/surfer relationship to friendship.
He's always been a very considerate guest; tidy, friendly, unimposing. He's also trustworthy, and trusting, having left me his car for a couple weeks while he was at film school. Granted I didn't drive it except to pick him up at the ferry! It was a bit of a scary contraption. ;-)
Roch has a wonderful sense of humour and I really enjoy spending time with him. I'm going to miss him while he's in China!
I'd recommend him as a couchsurfer, a host, and a friend. He's a wonderful guy!
From DOVE1 New Westminster, Canada Apr 10 Positive He is a very cool guy and we share a bunch of similiar spiritual/creative interests. I think he's in Asia now and hopefully having a great time!
Safe Journies Roch and keep taking pics and writing about your experiences, eh? '=^j
From Tak . Kobe, Japan Apr 7 Positive Oh, this crazily friendly guy's friendliness is amazing! I searched his face at my friend list in my brain upon first greeting, as if I met him before.
It's shame we sat on the opposite side of a huge chinese table and couldn't talk much!
From JILIHERBS Bellingham, United States Apr 6 Positive I met Roch in a cafe in Kunming China. I can tell he is a traveller with a kind heart. Plus he is on couchsurfing too!
From Savanah Vancouver, Canada Feb 29 Positive Great guy, somewhat shy but open to new experiences.
From Rob Hines Prospect, Canada Feb 3 Positive Eau la, eau la, eau la. Roch is wonderful, couch surfed with this vagabond in Vancouver at Luke Warmwaters place. Hardly noticed that we shared a small place. We both live here now and see each other occasionally.
From THINKINGMEAT Vancouver, Canada Nov 1, 2007 Positive Hope you didn't leave yet.
From GmU Calgary, Canada Oct 15, 2007 03NOV06
What was to be a night's stay on my couch turned into barely an hour's visit. And then there was...THE ASSAULT! My cat Mito is a bad, bad cat. Baaad Kitty! He is responsible for possibly the shortest surfing/hosting experience EVER. Nevertheless, in that sliver of time, my potential Coucher made a decent impression. I would be open to "host" him "again" should The Cat be away at a boot camp, or jail. Or the cat-nuthouse!
Roch, je suis très, très désolé. Retournez s'il vous plaît autrefois quand Le Chat a lieu en vacances. Je pense qu'il est malade dans la tête.
From Ken Tomilson Vancouver, Canada Oct 14, 2007 Positive Roch is imaginative, creative and positive. He is considerate and loves to laugh and have fun. A great guest to have around, even for a longer period.
From Sharia Willis Saenz Vancouver, Canada Sep 29, 2007 Positive Roch was my first Couch Surfer on Sept 28th 2007 . He came to my house and I was cooking dinner but realized that I didnt have a few ingrediants to finish cooking ... SO we crazy kids invaded safeway and came home and ate THANKS FOR THE RIDE !!!!!... We shared great conversation about travel and now roch wants to run away again as I gave him the travel bug and he wants to go on more vacations because I was looking at pic's that made him nostalgic for travel SORRY ROCH maybe I can join you want to come with me to Brazil??? GOOD LUCK for asia im sure you will have alot of fun where ever you go .... i wanna hear the story of the 3 pigs and the baboon that he told me that the little kids in Belize asked him to tell sounds interesting!!!!! GOOD LUCK on all your travels and welcome to Vancouver have fun at the VIFF.org

From Yan Levasseur Montreal, Canada Sep 2, 2007 Positive Roch and I seem like we have much in common. Interests, a happy face and the will to pursue our dreams. Hope to have the chance to have a real chat with you sometime !
From Joshua Greenberg Lillooet, Canada Jul 31, 2007 Positive ROch was a wondeful traveller to have as my first couchsurfer. He showed us indie films he made, we went to the Nelson Weekend market together and learned how to play the Jambays. Would be priveleged to have him again and hope nothing but the best for him.
From Andrew and Sarah Murray Nelson, Canada Jul 14, 2007 Positive Roch was and excellent guest. Very polite and entertaining.
From Myriam St-Denis Lisée Montreal, Canada Jun 6, 2007 Positive Roch est une personne très ouverte, sans vraiment de sujets tabous, et très ouvert également à faire diverses activités. J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir en sa compagnie :) Un vrai écrivain dans l'âme!
From Alejandro Lopez G Mexico, Mexico Mar 16, 2007 Positive Roch surfed my couch. We got 2 good days, talking about all the places he's travelled to. Je espère te trouver une autre fois Rock!
From Kadi Diop Montreal, Canada Mar 14, 2007 Positive Roch was a good surfer, very kind and polite. It was cool having him as a surfer! Bonne chance dans tes voyages et a bientot!
From Julien Rastouil Paris, France Mar 12, 2007 Positive I met Roch in Mexico thanks to a common couchsurfing friend.
This guy is a real traveler, passionate, and un poco loco.
Success for your trip in Asia, See you somewhere else in the world.
From DRFEELAWESOME San Ignacio, Belize Feb 13, 2007 Positive Cool dude to hang out with!
From Ileana Vaca Aguascalientes, Mexico Jan 16, 2007 Positive Bowm is a great man. I'm so happy to know him. My best wishes to him :-)
I hope see him again.
From ARTLITE Warsaw, Poland Jan 10, 2007 Positive I'd say, even under oath, that Roch is a good and low-maintance guest! Roch surfed my coach for 5 nights in early December. We had some deep, personal conversations and he's definately one of the people this site was created for. He's a drifter, much of a professional - if you ask i'm sure he's gonna grace you with the stories about traveling in a van throughout South America. Pretty challenging, huh?! You never have to clean after him and i'd consider him as someone credible and easy-to-cope with. Cheers maete!
From Eric Muth Belgrade, Serbia Jan 8, 2007 Positive Great guy, a little shy, but fun man to have pass on by. Good ideas. Fun fun.
From Dan Van Geest Waterloo, Canada Nov 9, 2006 Positive Roch is a very interesting guy. He was just passing through Kitchener on his way out west and was very friendly with interesting stories. He also brought some tasty canned duck!
From Balazs Kovacs Budapest, Hungary Oct 13, 2006 Positive Roch is an inspiring person. I think that's one of the biggest compliments I can come up with. He is sensitive, intelligent, thoughtful.
I enjoyed my chat with him tremendously.
From Amy Torgunrud Revelstoke, Canada Oct 7, 2006 Positive Roch is super original and enjoyable person who seems to thrive on moving about. We were in a group that did volunteer work in Ukraine. I met him again in Poland and he stopped in at my place in Revelstoke while travelling around the country.
From Oleksiy Statsenko Prague, Czech Republic Sep 11, 2006 Positive Roch is great! Told me marvelousstories about his travels!!! Take care, man!! We see each other in some part of the world!!!
From Blaine Pengelly Halifax, Canada Aug 16, 2006 Positive Roch was great to share with. I really enjoyed hosting him and hearing his stories. He really opened me to the idea of couch surfing and meeting people this way. This is definetly a positive step towards peace and understanding between people.
From Sandra Sherlow-Platt Victoria, Canada Aug 1, 2006 Positive Roch is so well travelled!He's been to so many places I've yet to dream of going, and I'm sure he'll go to many more. He left unscathed by our 3 cats, for which I am very glad!
