I am currently touring the world by bicycle with my good friend from back home in England. I am using my circus skills and my English language to travel the world. I love art and creating things, and have started recently to play with papier maché to make marionettes. I also love sports. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon-Do (ITF) and have completed numerous long distance bike rides, the last one (not including this one) being from Granada, Spain to Huddersfield, England. I have also been a juggler for about 15 years and especially like playing diabolo, balls and hat manipulation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couch surfing is a great way to see the towns and cities of our world and to truly meet people from those places. It will also be a good way to learn some new recipes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I cycled over 4,000km through Spain, Andorra, France, and England. Andorra was the highlight, where I spent about 8 hours climbing to 2,500m and then rode down hill pretty much all the way to Tolouse. In the decent I reached a top speed of 91.3kmh according to my cycle computer.
