About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve my circus skills, see the world and experiance other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel and share my experiences and skills with those who wish to hear or learn. As well as learning from others.

My idea of a good holiday is one where I meet people who either live there or know the area well, and are willing to show me their culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met up with couchsurfers a few times, but as of yet never stayed with any that I met directly through couchsurfing. I am a member of the burning man community and through that I have friends in many countries, a few of which I have stayed with, and most of which are also couchsurfers.
