About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet fun people and share their culture

ABOUT ME

Ok time for an update...

I have run away from the circus! I will be traveling around the UK and central Europe for a few months while I reignite my passion of culture and exploration. I would love to meet you!

Hi I'm Kali

I have couch surfed and traveled, performed and taught all over the world. I love meeting people on their grand adventures and sharing their ideas and dreams. Right now I am going through a period of stability as I face becoming a dreaded "grown up".

I live a bit of a crazy life. I have done everything from dance and circus to event management and community engagement. I have recently decided to hop off the corporate wheel and find something a bit more me.
About me well... I dance.... I was trained as a Bellydancer and do this at a professional level but I will basically dance anything anyone is willing to teach me. Hip hop, contemporary, ballet, medieval, swing, Bollywood, salsa, burlesque you name it I've taken classes. I also have a history in martial arts and display fighting, hand to hand and medieval sword as well as basic acrobatics and cheerleading, fire performance, juggling and general circ (see I told you crazy)
As I've gotten older I have worked more behind the scenes managing and organising events and connecting them to communities. My good friend Anna Cruz introduced me to couch surfing and I am addicted to the stories told by surfers from all walks of life that come through her place and want to get more involved.

PHILOSOPHY

Share the crazy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The world needs more couch surfers =)

Interests

wow I wonder how many characters I'm allowed?
Dance, dance and more dance
Circus/acrobatics
Fire
Entrapenureship
Outdoors, €œrock climbing, hiking, skiing
Reading, €œ anything and everything
I really don't know where to stop. I'm a city girl who was brought up in the bush.
I love to hang out and talk philosophy over a port or two, dance the night away downtown or escape altogether camping, roughing it and having crazy adventures that push my body and mind.

Just published a book with all the tips and trick I've gained over years of Couch surfing. Check it out. http://amzn.to/1tL2jat
