CURRENT MISSION

Traveling parts of the world for first-hand story experience

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer/artist and parkour practitioner. I'm currently writing a graphic novel about a traveling group so I like to try and gain first-hand experience when possible. I'm also the host of a parkour podcast so I tend to travel around to meet other fun people in the parkour community.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to not try to do what you want.
No one can tell you what you're supposed to do, that's for you to decide.
When traveling, it's not about comfort, it's about the story.
Always leave a place better than it was when you arrived.
Don't be a dick, there's never a good reason to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So one of the greatest part about parkour that most people don't know, is the community. It's nothing too official but it's essentially made up of amazing people all over the world who share the same love for movement. These same people often travel when given the chance to explore other cities and environments as parkour is very much about traversing different environments. Throughout my years training parkour I've been to many different cities and I always stay with a fellow parkour practitioner, and I can honestly say that I've never had a bad experience. I've even hosted many others as well.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 weeks in Japan (too many good stories to tell).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of parkour and how humans are meant to move. I have a degree in sequential art, so I have a very good understanding of narrative and visual storytelling.

I'd love to learn a foreign language and I love experiencing different cultures (even mundane things in someone elses shoes intrigue me).
