I have enjoyed travelling now for many years. My first serious travelling experience was in 2004 when I went travelling across Europe for 6 months.

Since then I have spent a lot of time travelling every year many in Europe and South East Asia.

I teach martial arts and am really passionate about flow arts, feel free to check out my website if you are interested: https://www.aikiflow.uk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best knowledge is gained from experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Generally nowadays if I listen to music its usually chill out music. However I have got quite a broad taste.

I like physiological thrillers, films such as the Matrix, Vanilla Sky and Inception.

The only books I tend to read are about martial arts, philosophy, religion or all three!
