About Me

Hello there! Welcome to my page. :)

At the moment, me and my partner Costa are traveling to NYC, England, and France.
Back home in Wilmington, NC we run an entertainment business that offers circus entertainment for events/parties. This includes fire dancing, stilt walking, face painting, juggling, and so much more. We truly love what we do! We have been working hard all year to save up for our trip and we are super stoked to be adventuring around and meeting new people along the way. I personally used to live in NYC, and I have my dads side of the family that lives in England. For Costa - this is a whole new adventure for him because these are all new places to him.

We are looking for a few hosts along the way - if you have any questions please feel free to ask away :)
Thanks everyone!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This website is an outlet for amazing ways to connect with people all over the globe. My first CouchSurfing experience was when I visited NY for the first time - in hopes of moving there. Which I eventually did - and stayed for a year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I had to narrow it down to one thing - it would probably be learning how to stilt walk. When I first started I was absolutely terrified - and almost quit several times. However, I had a few gigs lined up where I pretty much HAD to learn. That pushed me to get up and try until I was confident in myself (and my legs!!!) ;)
