CURRENT MISSION

Circus Aerialist Credo: Follow the sun like a butterfly, hang out like a bat.

ABOUT ME

I like flying on the trapeze. But I love dancing on silks, rope, Spanish web, cloud swing, static trap, lyra, art sculptures and off canyon walls. I'm hoping to be accepted as a volunteer with a circus in Nepal that works with at risk youth. I'm awaiting their reply and in the mean time.... I'm couch surfing and hoping to get some day work as a deck hand in Fort Lauderdale. Here's a bit on my circus history http://www.pifmagazine.com/2011/01/heather-whinnen/

PHILOSOPHY

Pick the amazing. Why not? It's better than the alternatives. Hold onto that grain of hope even if it's all you've got. Free spirit. Free Will. Be, content, calm yet wild. Stay open in heart and mind. Grounded like a tree, wild monkeys. Laugh til it hurts... regularly. Eating grand is better than a life insurance policy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer my services as a professional house cleaner. Anytime I have an opportunity to share a tour of a city I know, a scene I go, or a place I stay, food I eat, I will. Sharing. That's what I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't used this service before, but I've couch surfed and hitch hiked circus carni style on and off for years. I yam nomadic. I like the world and want to see it, be in it and share it.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I held a baby alligator two days ago and felt it's warmth, its abdomen expand and contract with air and was blown away by the diversity of life on earth, the massiveness of nature. I'm continually amazed at how little I know and how much I don't see and how great the world is to explore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer my services as a professional house cleaner for a couch. I can teach yoga, fitness, aerial arts, dance and English. I want to learn to play the guitar, speak other languages, about auto mechanics and website building, how to make solar panels work, human anatomy/muscular and skeletal workings for sports physical therapy and body healing, gardening, living off grid, spiritual growth, building homes and I want to learn how to weld. I share everything I have and everything I am and anything I know. Anyone want some glitter?
