I am 36 Years old born in Bristol, I left about 10 years ago and have never been back. I went to university in China, and to travel whilst learning and teaching Martial arts .I came back to Europe and decided to move to Spain. I Lived there for 7 years, Teaching Martial arts. Got bored and moved back to China. I lived in the Sichuan provence for a year where I taught English (and Martial arts again). Came to Belgium in March 2016 but now it is time to move on I have decided to go back to China and Teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling and moving around, I have not really stayed still in 10 years. There is so much to see and do. Also sometimes you need to return to your homeland to sort out a few pesky legal things like Visas for your next trip!

Music, Movies, and Books

Red Hot chilli peppers, Iron Madien(helps me train), I like almost everything I grew up in home where everyone liked something different so I pretty much like everything music wise.

Just watched John Wick that was Brutal! also The raid set is pretty damn nice.

I'll read anything by David Gemmell, but a part from that it is really travel brochures and trip planning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I practiced Tai Chi Chuan with a master on the Great Wall Of China.

Went to a Chinese University and got a degree in Martial Arts.

Taught English to more than 2000 students.

My first public speaking was in front of 4,500 people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always training so if you like Martial arts then I will be happy to train with you or if you are interested teach you a few things while I am with you.

I can share with you my experiences of travelling and advise you where to visit and where not to visit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I spend my whole time laughing and joking. I can cook pretty well....if you like Asian food.....by that I mean stuff that has no name but comes with rice and tastes pretty damn good!
