Heya!

My name's Jacob, I am a Massage therapist by trade, but dabble in anything that peaks my interest, ie. Functional movement, yoga, electronics repair, and lastly working on the Alaskan salmon run.
Currently I have been travelling since fall of 2017. This last winter/spring I was in Southeast Asia, spending this spring/summer in Guatemala and Alaska.

I love travelling, it fills my soul in a way that nothing else does. Except for maybe rock climbing and hiking. I am very adventurous and active and love saying yes to new experiences.
I highly value genuine connections, and deep/mutually fulfilling conversations.
By extension I tend to be quite straightforward, and speak my mind. Though i recognize the value and also require soft and nonviolent communication. I strive to connect, respect, and effectively listen to all those I share space and time with.

Everyday I work towards creating a life I believe is worth living, but my first and foremost job is to show, share, and express love with all those I meet.

I genuinely hope our paths cross and we share a lesson in life worth remembering!

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

The most amazing thing I've seen is human kinds capacity to love.
The most amazing thing I've done/ am doing is take charge of my own life and break a family cycle of aggression, negativity, and ignorance.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I love love love teaching others about their bodies. Specifically, bring awareness to how we move, treat, and use our bodies.
I appreciate learning about languages both verbal and non, kinesthetics, music, photography, philosophy, psychology, anatomy, nature, survival skills, permaculture, and sustainability.
I enjoy sharing anything of passion. If you're not passionate about it then it's not worth talking about.
