So I'm Johny,

a circus artist, musician, dancer, and college student based out of Corvallis, Oregon. Most of my life has been spent pursuing circus mastery, performance, and teaching around the world. My most recent adventures were in 2017, I spent half the year teaching and performing for children in India with the NGO Performers without Borders, the other half was spent performing through Europe as a solo artist. Since my return in 2018, an injury has led me to stop training circus and realize a new found passion for music. I now pursue various forms of music (piano, music production, beatbox), and since healing my injury, am enjoying circus again.

I'm currently a full time college student, pushing to get a degree in Forest Ecosystems. I love nature and wildlife, so I hope to preserve the world as much as I possibly can.

I love hiking, camping, thought provoking conversations, puns, word play, passions, board games, and being ridiculously silly. I believe many adults lose sight of how wonderful it is to be silly and play. I strive to be in touch with my inner-child every moment my life allows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like Couchsurfing to meet new people. It's a much better way to get to know a culture rather than seeing it.
