Hello everyone! I'm a former teacher who quit her job to run away with the circus! I went on an epic two year adventure from 2015-17 and am now home and ready to meet you! My partner Ben and I are training in circus arts and would be delighted to teach you how to juggle, handstand, or how to stand on another person:)

Bike riding, training, bouldering, juggling, handstands and coffee are high on our agenda, but some of the best experiences have come from throwing caution to the wind and trying something new:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love that surfers, through mutual experience of travelling, often have a deep and immediate connection. We have met the most wonderful people through CS (usually using my partner's profile, so you can read more references through his page) who will be life long friends:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm I'd have to say reducing my life to a backpack so that I can travel freely was a pretty great challenge, but it's meant that I've been able to visit some incredible places as a result.

I've travelled around Western Australia, swam with crocodiles, showered in waterfalls (glacial waterfalls are coooold), skied in the French Alps, yodelled in Switzerland, conquered Ben Nevis, performed in Ireland, taught acrobatics at the European Juggling Convention, kayaked in Croatia, made lebkuchen in Berlin, rode 1200km on my bicycle from Tallinn to Vilnius, skydived past a glacier...I have so many awesome memories:)

I've already surfed with some epic people and have learned lots, including:

-That I am a Hufflepuff
-That peanut butter in oats is the real deal,
-Complimenting a luscious beard can get you far,
-secret password is 'hardcore unicorn' work this into your request so I know you read my full profile,
-That a warm blanket and a piece of floor is heaven,
-That people can be so crazy generous (I can't wait to be an epic host when I return, or plant roots!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll do my best to teach you some circus skills, and I'm always ready to cook!

I speak a little Italian and German, so if you could help me practice, that would be awesome:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A clean home and a place to lay your head!
