My name is Ellis Younger, I'm from Durham, England. I train the martial art Brazilian Jiu Jitsu full time. I teach classes to make money and travel a lot to compete and to train the sport in better or more exotic places than home. I left school at 17 to work, I saved up money to travel to go and train in Brazil and America, upon returning hope I struggled for money for a while and just focused on training but got to a point where I could teach classes for money so now it's all I do. I want to get the most out of life and see how far my passion can take me, I love to travel and meet new people and just enjoy the journey which Jiu Jitsu has took me on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing as I travel a lot and usually on a budget so it is just convenient to see if I can get somewhere to stay and some new people to meet as I travel! I hope to meet as many people as possible! :)
