About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making new friends from all over the world!
ABOUT ME
I'm a juggler who used to headline for Cirque du Soleil - around show #1,500 I decided I needed a change of pace. Still in showbiz, but mostly working on cruise ships these days.
I'm also an armchair linguist and chef wannabe. If I'm on the road, I've probably got a seasoned castiron skillet. Want to cook up something great?
PHILOSOPHY
Ad astra per aspera.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to be a joyful presence in everyone's life. I'm looking for new, interesting, and weird experiences.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My roommates have hosted couch surfers in the past, and I've done a bit of surfing myself. All of them have been very positive! (With the exception of one guest who ate all of my chocolate. Boo! Hiss!)
Interests
Circus arts, event planning, journaling, old sci-fi movies, climbing trees, numismatics, juggling, drawing, creative non-fiction, comparative grammar, and going for very long drives on backroads across the country.
