CURRENT MISSION

Bringing fun movement with me wherever I go

ABOUT ME

I am for lack of a better term, a movement coach and teacher. My entire focus now is teaching people how to move better and how to enjoy movement, for its own sake, instead of the drugery of traditional exercise. I love Parkour, climbing trees, carrying heavy things for no apparent reason, and jumping around because the mood strikes me (often). All of this requires a lot of food, so I also love to eat (almost anything) and cook (much more work needed there).

When I'm not doing that I'm usually reading something, lately a lot of psychology, entrepreneurship, and random philosophy books that interest me.

Être fort pour être utile

PHILOSOPHY

The phrase être fort pour être utile (be strong to be useful) is a short version of much of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still new to CS, but would like to host once I'm settled down somewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great time for a couple of days in in Switzerland. I've done my fair share of coachsurfing with friends aside from that, and can even say I lived in a Parkour gym for an entire month, so I'm used to weird living situations at this point.

Interests

Everything movement, parkour, martial arts, dance (break in particular). Reading way too many books and writing. Oh, food and cooking too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Might be slightly obsessed with Batman at this point. Too many books to list, but Game of Thrones has kept me busy for the past 6+ months.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent an entire month as a live-in student at one of the top Parkour gyms in the US. Rare to get an opportunity to spend an entire month learning from guys who've been practicing the art for 6-10 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything to do with movement I will jump at the chance to teach, especially Parkour or martial arts skills. Swapping recipes and food ideas = super awesome. I'm looking to learn as much as I can, but in particular anything to do with movement, languages, and food (noticing a theme?).
