I'm 38, married, father of 3. I'm a professional medical clown, working in hospitals with sick kids and their families, as well as the staff. I also do clown on stage, as well as stand-up comedy. I love to travel, and try to do it with my kids as much as possible to show them the world, but often I'm on the road by myself.

I'm low maintenance. I can carry on a conversation, but also sit quietly in a room with someone while each of us do our own thing (read, do stuff on the computer, etc.).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel quite a bit to do stand-up shows. Sometimes those shows don't pay well, or all my profits get eaten up by travel costs. I don't mind staying with strangers, it's a nice way to get to know new people, and often I can get a free ticket to my show for my host as a way to say thank you.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good cook. Thanks to having kids, I've learned how to whip up something tasty without taking too long or getting too fancy. I can share stories of travels, and listen to your adventures too. Hopefully we can both share a world-view.
