CURRENT MISSION

Since I'm stuck in a city for a while, because of circus school, Hosting couchsurfers will remind me that there is something else out there.

ABOUT ME

I was born when I was 14 years old.

I was a travelling sponge that had no other goal but to live as many different experiences as possible until I turned 20.
I then needed to focus on something.
I was lacking a goal.

As for now, i have one huge dream, and many other interests on the side. The dream is to live off circus.
It's getting there since I got accepted in the great circus school of Quebec.

So that's what I'll be focussing on for the next few years.... After that, maybe I'll learn to build sailboats or I'll become a History Teacher.... or a zen monk.... or all of the previous choices.

You can go see what I do at the school on my website : www.davayotte.com

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dreams while you breath. Life is a playground, or nothing. You are the only one in charge of your life so complaining about anything is pointless. Fight your demons, fill your lungs with the wind and follow your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met so many beautifull people through couchsurfing... some of them are now amongst my best friends. I feel so priviledged to have crossed paths with such amazing, generous, lovely, kind hearted and open minded characters.

Interests

Im interested in wolves, wind and wine. Love relastionships sure intriguate me. My ideal evening would be chatting with some good friends around a campfire. I'm interested in existentialism evenings if there's a touch of humour in it. Im interested in interested people. In chamanism. In wild life survival. In urban survival. I'm also interested in rock climbing although i have done only little in my life. I'm interested about people who came close to death and that now truly seem to live. Im interested in my pal, my best friend Ivan whom i havent seen in too long. Im interested in Chinese Pole, Acrobatics, Icarian games and Juggling. Im interested in positivism as much as realism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I almost lost my feet to a lawn-mower when I was 6 years old. Of course i wouldnt have done the backpacking and circus i have done.... I'm trying to remember every now and then how gratefull I am to have my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to juggle ... and some basic acrobatics... and how to play chess (I love chess)... and I'm really opened to learn anything really.... I really want to learn the harmonica these days so if you do play it... don't keep it to yourself!
