Just a Los Angeles based Circus Entertainer in a long distance relationship with a beautiful Tech Writer from Sri Lanka.

I'm really silly and lighthearted, and I really love trying new things. She is charming and sweet and such a gem on this earth!
Every 3-4 months we travel to a different country to see one another because it's really important to both of us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy traveling and meeting new people from different cultures and walks of life.

Traveling as often as I do really takes a toll on the bank account, but for my girlfriend and I, it's a necessity and we try our best to make it work regardless.

Interests

Since I'm a circus performer, much of my time is spent training: usually juggling or vaudevillian hat and cane manipulation (my specialty!), but I can also walk on stilts, ride a unicycle, balance on a ball, and am always challenging myself to learn more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Indie / Electronic / Rock / Hardcore/ Post-hardcore/ Classical/ Folk /I'll give anything a shot. :)

Books - If on a winters night a traveler - Italo Calvino, The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky. I like reading classic Russian literature, but lately I've found myself reading books on acting and performance theory.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once caught a fish with my bare hands with my eyes closed as I dove into the water. Not even an exaggeration. And it even happened in front of my then crush. Best day in the history of mankind for sure! :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any/all the circus talents i know: juggling, balance, etc... I actually teach circus for a living in addition to performing it as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can do a little performance for you, or I can cook something delicious. I really do enjoy cooking for other people. I'm very open minded, so even if you needed help with an odd job, I could be helpful with that as well.
