  • Description

    Hi I'm Cody!

    SUMMARY: I'm a strong, fit, very health conscious person willing to work hard. I am driven for adventure, travel, and culture exchange. I can't say I have a lot of trade skills (ie. building, farming, carpentry, childcare, etc.) but I do have some from my past WorkAways and WWOOFs (see photos) and I'm a fast learner and hard worker. I am an expert in my craft of human movement, strength, and performance coaching and programming. If you would like to get in better shape, build muscle, get stronger I would love to help! On top of working and being of service, I want to travel and adventure around the world, learning other cultures. Instagram is @codyrzeznik
    I currently have this dream of doing continuous WorkAways. Spending as much time as I can in one region before I have to leave (ie. 90 days in the Schengen region) and then heading to another WorkAway opportunity in another region for as long as I can.

    I am a personal trainer and human performance coach by trade, as well as a 200 hour yoga teacher. I love strength training, movement of all kinds, running, yoga, dance, sports and all things movement. I love being active and doing manual labor. I like resting, napping, sleeping, having nice conversations, and watching movies too though! I also work with clients on weight loss and nutrition if anyone needs help with that.
    I believe that sunshine, movement, quality sleep, quality whole foods, proper hydration are vital for health and living a meaningful life; along with community, service, and purpose. And I seek all of that. Sleep is very important to me. I am mostly looking for places that can accommodate me in a private room and allow just a little bit of autonomy sometimes. But I'm very social and love sharing/learning culture.

    A few things I'm most interested in at the moment:

    1) Learning trade skills and blue collar work. I'm really interested in learning how to build structures, like small homes, tables, etc. But I'd love to learn any trade skills such as building, fixing things, using tools, engineering/design/architecture, farming/gardening, anything of value!!

    I'm also interested in learning how to hunt, ranch, grow, harvest, forage my own food. I worked on a small ranch in Texas a few years ago that consisted of 30 goats, 2 donkeys, and about 50 chickens but it was just a hobby farm. I also worked on a horse ranch "finca" via WorkAway in Costa Rica where I milked a cow twice a day for 2 weeks and fed and mucked up after horses. But again, it was mostly just a hobby farm.

    2) Sustainable, self-sufficient "luxury" living... I don't believe we need to live in tents eating only rice and beans (or bugs!) to be sustainable. We can have some of our simple modern "luxuries" like a bed and beautiful homes and eat fresh, healthy food and still be sustainable and live in harmony with nature.

    3) Movement, yoga, strength, fitness, sports. I am a strength and conditioning coach, 200-hour yoga teacher, and sports trainer by trade. I also work with many clients on nutrition. I have an online training business as well that I would need time to work on, but not a lot. I love working with people who want to learn how to move well, get out of pain, get strong, and maybe even bodybuild. My training with clients revolves around proper movement first and then building strength and fitness on top of that. If you have aches and pains, I like to work with people to get out of back pain, knee pain, etc... I would love to continue developing my yoga and meditation teaching. I also can coach kids in sports skills. I played football, basketball, baseball at a high level. I also know how to golf, play soccer, and tennis. Bodybuilding and physique is a hobby of mine if that is of interest to anybody.

    I have aspirations of consulting at resorts and communities on how to implement a proper holistic, all-encompassing fitness and wellness offering into their community. I've worked in management and have a master's degree. I know the business of personal training very well.

    4) Teaching and coaching. I love teaching. I would feel comfortable teaching English. I have an intermediate grasp of Spanish that would help with Spanish speakers. I was a very good student (4.0+ with AP classes) and could help teach or tutor other subjects as well; particularly math and science (I even loved calculus).

    I'm also interested in the idea of home-schooling and learning about unconventional topics outside the normal curriculum. I was a substitute teacher for two years right after college. I have also been a coach for many sports such as football, basketball, and baseball and I play a lot of volleyball now. I have 4 young nieces aged 1-8 and was a counselor for many summers so I have experience with young children. I would really love to help in under-privileged and under-developed places with the right opportunity.

    5) Working with animals. Monkeys and other exotic animals. Cows and ruminant management/husbandry. I would love to learn how to ride and work with horses, particularly in a ranch setting, but I have only cantered on a horse a few times. I am allergic to domestic cats; but if they stay outside it's usually fine. I think I could suck it up for big, exotic cats!

    I grew up in Michigan but have been living in California for the last 6 years. I have three brothers and now 4 young nieces aged 1-10. All back in Michigan. I love the sun, warm weather, and the beach, but often miss the seasons; particularly the fall. I have a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and master's degree in Management.

    I like to stay active and busy; sitting at a desk from 9 to 5 was never for me. I'm a strong and able-bodied person who would love to do any kind of work; I particularly enjoy physical and manual labor. But I also enjoy using my mind; creativity, problem solving, brainstorming ideas, talking about philosophy. I need WiFi seldomly to train and coach some clients remotely.

    While I enjoy traveling and adventure, long term I am really seeking a community of like-minded people, who have a vision of creating a better world; one that is more connected to nature and earth and love and community. Whether that be in the United States or anywhere else. I enjoy talks about philosophy, politics, spirituality, socio-economics, etc. because even though most people avoid these topics I think they are important to talk about. I do not drink or smoke and am very keen on healthy living. Healthy FOR ME might be different than healthy for YOU though! My ultimate dream is to live in a hard-working, mostly self-sustaining community somewhere that is built on collaboration, love, and harmony... not greed, individualism, and consumerism that comes with our hyper capitalist society; but that still allows for some of the simple luxuries of modern life like private rooms, comfy beds, and maybe a gym nearby! I am a meat eater.

  • Quelles sont vos compétences ?

    I worked for 4 months on a small ranch near Austin, Texas (WWOOF). The ranch's instagram is @highrockranch if you want to check them out! There, I tended to donkeys, goats, and chickens. I helped build fences, clear brush, work on a tractor, make small repairs, weld, etc. It has been two years so I would need to relearn some things! But I am a fast learner and hard worker. I also did a WorkAway in Greece on a small private orchard where I learned how to plant and tend to trees. A year and a half ago I worked for 3 weeks on a small horse farm "finca" in Costa Rica. Here I milked a cow, tended to the horses, and did side jobs around the farm.

    I am a personal trainer (strength and fitness), yoga instructor, and nutrition coach by trade so I know a lot about the body and movement and nutrition. I have also worked a lot with kids and athletes. I was a coach and substitute teacher for many summers. I played football, basketball, baseball, golf, and a little tennis, soccer. Now I play a lot of beach volleyball. I have a bachelor's degree and master's degree. I speak a beginner/intermediate level of Spanish and am currently working toward becoming fluent. I have also helped paint inside the house.

    I am very much seeking community. I am also looking to be somewhat of a professional WorkAwayer haha. I am looking for opportunities where I can stay for extended periods of time and work for my keep. I am also very interested in being immersed in cultures and local communities. I love spending time with people, but I also need my alone time to recharge. Look forward to connecting!

    • Régime alimentaire spécial
      Not really, but I like to eat healthy and fresh. I understand this is a privilege. I'm very simple but particular: I eat animal products like eggs, meat, fish, some dairy (always going for grass-fed, pasture raised, organic, raw, etc.) and fruits mostly.
