Life Philosophy

Take a look at the set-up in the photo. What do you see? Please, take a minute to consider what you could do here – if you “do parkour”, make a list of all the different things you could train here (and I mean all the ideas you have); if not, think about it anyway. […]

Life Philosophy

This is a list of some books which I have read over the last year or two which I strongly recommend, to the point where I think everybody SHOULD read them. If I were a teacher or lecturer I would put these books on the reading list ranked among the actual topic I was teaching, […]

Facing a Fear
22nd January 2014

This post is my attempt to explain one of my parkour experiences with words, to try and convey what goes on inside my head when I did a particular jump. Standing two metres high on top of a wall, I glance down to the ground below me, and then rub my hands on my thighs […]
