ABOUT ME

Heya, Our names are Kym and Gavin.
We are both really friendly and outgoing. Gavin is a big kid at heart, he is into mountain biking, skating, his motor bike, catching spiders and all sorts of random things. Im a professional clown/kids entertainer, and in my spare time i make balloon animals, code websites, muck about with graphic design and go for walks in town with my pet parrot on my shoulder.
I really cant sum us up in a paragraph. We are constantly good humoured. We believe that everything we need will find us, somewhere, somehow. We are creative, and are constantly going forwards in life with fresh ideas and inspirations. Very shy people may find us a little overwhelming at first but we do simmer down a little once we get over our initial excitement :p

PHILOSOPHY

Id hope that we could share a bit of light, in a world where everybody is disatisfied and miserable.

The only thing that seperates any of us is the choices that we have made in the past, and will make in the future. I believe that a good life is not about your circumstances, but about your own perspective on your situation. Nothing is bad. Nothing is crap. Its just how it is, and you can choose how that affects you.

Im a person who believes in God but hates religion, cant stand political things but understands the need, and can see beauty in everything and everybody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Childbirth.
Luckily you do forget most of it. :D

Kym set a world record for the most balloon dogs made in an hour on live TV. (An iconic kiwi kids show called "What Now?")

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you some magic tricks and balloon art, let you have a turn at Fire Poi, (swinging fire balls on the end of chains around your head!) Can take you to ceroc dance classes, tell you the scientific names of our native spiders, and how to play the ukelele.
We would love to learn new languages, share your experiences and give you some awesome memories to return home with. Plus, maybe a friend for life.
