I'm an easygoing guy who teaches Japanese martial arts (sword fighting ) for a living. I also travel the world with my metal detector looking for treasure in warm tropical oceans!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world for a month at a time about 4 times a year to look for treasure. My initial plans are for South East Asia (Indonesia and the Philippines). I'm on a budget and would like to meet the locals and make new friends. So couchsurfing is perfect for me.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I love bluegrass music (like the Steeldrivers). Movies like Legends of the Fall and books like Shantaram.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Being a father to two wonderful sons who are now living abroad!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I teach Japanese calligraphy (shodo), play the guitar and am learning to make and edit videos.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I have a spare double bed in an enclosed balcony so there's no need to sleep on a couch ;) I have the top floor of a double story house with my own double garage and entrance. There are great views of the mountains and I live one block away from the sea. The shared bathroom has a bath and shower and toilet and basin. There is a large kitchen and dining room/lounge. There is space for one more car in the lock-up garage. We can share a meal from time to time..
