I am self employed as a professional entertainer, I travel around the country, getting hired to walk on stilts and make balloon animals at festivals and fairs. I enjoy getting to visit and stay with friends during my travels.

Although I wasn't utilizing the couchsurfing app at the time, one of my favorite adventures was in 2008 when I walked 830 miles across Michigan on stilts, and all throughout the 8 week trip, complete strangers hosted me. Meeting so many nice people and making friends was the best part of my adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Almost all of the events I work are annual events. I would enjoy making friends in the towns I visit for work.
