Hi! Im Balte. I quit my studies archaeology in Brussels to pursue my passion in circus. I’m doing a prep year in circus arts right now in Syitserlanf and hope to be able to get through audition next year.

I live in the tiny Town of Sainte-Croix, its very beautiful here but its quite far from everything.

Activities I like are reading, going to parks, spending days and days in museums, walking around in bookstores, dancing to music while cooking in the kitchen, looking around in organic stores, journaling, drawing, tattooing myself and meditating.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I love to hear stories from people that are travelling the world, their passions, adventures but also how they see their future plans.

For me it’s sometimes very easy to go pretty deep into a connection with a stranger and talk about all parts of life, fears and death, ofcourse with a good cup of coffee;)

Музыка, кино и книги

The biggest fan of Oscar & the wolf! Also love the music of Mike posner, Noah Kahan, Harry Styles and Mac miller, don’t really watch movies but listen to podcasts almost every day. I read a lot of national geographic and art books.

I’m obsessed with art, this is mainly for me in the form of music, sculpture and paintings. If I like an artists I obsess over their live and have to know everything about them. My knowledge about art is good for certain artists like Hockney and Basquiat, Mac Miller and Mike Posner

Podcasts (episodes) I recommend:

- Your Life Is Now: Mike Posner On Walking America, Summiting Everest & Crafting Hit Songs

- On purpose with Jay Shetty

- The Rich Roll Podcast

- Heal Thy Self with Dr. G

- The Plant Code Podcast

- Huberman Lab

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Did a 3 week circus exchange in Palestine In July 2023. With 20 Belgians and 20 Palestinians. This exchange was in a lot of ways life changing for me and I’m immensely grateful I could be part of it.

Also spend 1 year of hosting people in my dorm when I studied in Brussels, it was so amazing to have people from all over the world and making memories with them. I feel so much gratefulness towards this period of my life

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can teach handstand, juggling and how to ride a unicycle, also the other basic circus skills. I love to share a vegan meal with my guests. I also love to share my circus friends with my guests, they are all open minded and fun people!
