CURRENT MISSION

To run away and join the worldwide circus!

ABOUT ME

Quite bouncy. I like fire a lot, and reading, and meeting new people. I want to know about people, learn about them, where they come from, where they're going...

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story and everyone has something about them you can compliment or like, even if you may dislike them overall. Being polite isn't being a pushover, it is treating others with respect, and everyone deserves a base level of respect from each other, no matter what race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation or culture etc.

I try to listen to everyone and learn about them, I try to provide help whenever it is needed and I am capable of doing so.

No one is responsible for your happiness but yourself, so don't load everything onto someone else or try to blame everyone but yourself. Other people can help you, they can provide friendship, medication, counselling, a distraction, but you are the only one who is responsible for your outlook on life.

Just be nice to people, be kind and compassionate and remember, no one is an extra - everyone lives their own story, and to them, you will be the walk-on part. Respect others and trust them to know themselves. If something will help someone else and not hurt you to give it, give it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm surfing only, but when I have a place I can call my own, I plan on opening up my couch or spare room to couchsurfers and hear their stories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I walked from Norwich to London with my friend Kate in May 2013 and had my first couchsurfing experiences on our trip!
Since then, I have couchsurfed a little in Europe and am now traveling around the Americas (North, South, Central & Canada) and surfing with as many cool people as I can!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach juggling, poi, a little bit of staff and hoop spinning and how to cook a lovely pot roast!

I would love to learn any circus tricks you have up your sleeve, or magic tricks! Anything fun, but I want to learn anything and everything, so anything you can teach I will be willing to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer English pancakes (or other foods), poi lessons, listening and a lot of interest in your life! You must be pretty cool, you're a couchsurfer!
