My name is Nick. I am open minded, adventurous, sporty, playful, vegetarian and a bit crazy. I'm travelling since the 8th of September and I stay away for 1 year.

I love to train circus arts! Mostly partner acrobatics and floor acrobatics (handstands). But i also like diablo's, slacklining, rope dart, juggling, hooping and a lot of other circus disciplines. Back home i work as a P.E. teacher (physical education/ sport) on 2 primary schools, i really like that! I decided to take 1 year off from my work to travel to Asia and New Zealand.

In trade for my stay i would like to share my circus skills (we can do acro or acroyoga together or i can learn you how to do a proper handstands :D), thai-massages (i did a course in Thailand), reiki and vegetarian cooking, and offcourse a nice company. I would love to learn more about (thai) massage, cooking in your culture, gardening (permaculture) and a sustainable living. I like to volunteer in a community or in a garden somewhere.

Besides circus i also like a lot of other sports like snowboarding, surfing, longboarding, inline skating and climbing. Walking and camping in the nature is also something i like to do! I like board games, just talk about everything and finally i like to work with plants :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people around the world that are like minded, specially In their own habitat. I am a open minded person and i connect with most people easely. In septemper i will travel to south-east Asia. Because i never been to Asia bevore i am really interested in their culture and the difference between different countries and city's there. I like to be around people, to talk, to laugh, to do stuff, teach them tricks or to just chill.

Interests

I love hiking in the nature. I am a vegetarian. Do circus stuff and specially partner acrobatics (acroyoga). I love to dance my feet off at party's, best if they are not to big and commercial and with a warm atmosphere. I am a beginner surfer, but would love to do it more so i can get better. Other outside activities attract me as wel!

I also like to give thai-massages, i did a 2 weeks course in chiang mai. I did my reiki I a couple of months ago and shortly ago my reiki II. So i can also give you a reiki healing. Maybe you can also learn me something. Like how do you do macreme. I got waxed threats with me. I also got my hoops and 2 contacthoops with. If you like that, we can train together.
