About Travel Senpai

Hi there! My Name is Adam and I am the creator of Travel Senpai. I am a qualified Software Engineer, currently working in the public sector in the UK. My true passion, however, lies in travelling the world, immersing myself in the history, languages and cultures of far off lands. I speak English, French and German, and I am currently learning Japanese. I'm a big history geek, and I love visiting historical sites and places of interest, and I'm also an avid gamer, Anime head and Japanophile.

My travel story really began in the summer of 2000. My very first trip to Corfu in the Ionian islands. I'd been on holidays before, usually on package holidays to well known beach resorts. This time was different. Using seperately booked flights and locally sourced accomodation, i realised there was more to travelling than all inclusive package deals and operator-advertised day trips. Instead, I discovered a new way of creating a journey, meeting local people and exploring the world as part of it, rather than just as a temporary visitor. That trip changed my life. Not only did I meet life-long Greek friends, it awakened in me a need to see everything the world has to offer, a goal that I aim to work towards for the rest of my life.

My aims for this site are to document my travels, provide help and guides to help you plan YOUR journey, and to hopefully, give my readers some inspiration to enrich their lives with the experiences travelling brings.
