About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To perform across the globe.

ABOUT ME

Hey there :)

My name is Britt, I was born and raised in Roxborough, Colorado. After I finished college, I decided I didn't want to jump straight into a career and decided I would spend some time doing something that I love: skating, circus, and performing. Thus far, I've performed in South America, Europe, and China!

I eat vegan and am very passionate about the lifestyle. Also a yoga teacher/avid practitioner and try to live green and mindfully. I love to travel and be outdoors rock climbing and mushroom foraging. Im half-Greek and am in the initial processes of applying for dual-citizenship.

PHILOSOPHY

A few quotes to reflect my personal philosophy.

Collect moments, not things.

20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn€™t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have not hosted yet, as I am currently doing a lot of traveling and don't have a couch to offer. Would absolutely love to host though, once I am in a better situation closer to the city. I have surfed once thus far, which was an awesome experience and am hoping to do more asap!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

- Don't watch a ton of movies, but documentaries (especially about food, environment, ect really interest me). Not opposed to the occasional movie theatre outing though :)
- Listen to all types of music, love Alt-J and Odesza and other music that gives off a new-age sorta feel.
- I love to reading. Fiction, non-fiction, strong female characters, travel dialogue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled as the only american with a latin american circus for 6 months in Colombia and Chile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a ton of circus stuff (intermediate/advanced aerial silks and lyra, stilt walking, beginning hooping, and fire fans/breathing.) I can also teach vinyasa and yin yoga. Also definitely ice skating, if ice is available!

I love to learn. Basically anything. I play the piano, and played the violin for 6 years, so musical instruments have always interested me. But, Im down to learn just about anything, especially pertaining to movement based arts.

I can share circus props and yoga mats!
