ABOUT ME

I am a Georgia Peach (open, friendly, honest, sometimes a little too direct) with a slightly obsessive drive to understand the world systems in which we live and how I want to affect them. I'm learning I'm way less important than I think I am and greatly enjoying the freedom that gives me to create each moment as I dream it. I am active and curious. I live to dance and play and make magic with others.

Interests

Learning the social and political histories and realities of the places I visit.
Movin' my body! (aerial dance, yoga, acroyoga, acrobatics, salsa, hip hop, contact improv, physical challenges)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently traveled from Mexico to Costa Rica working and performing a social circus show with communities throughout Central America. I don't think I can express how incredibly much I learned about the world, people, and myself. I am still awestruck by the strength, generosity and creativity of the folks I met.

I began the trip I'm on with a boyfriend, we dreamed up the trip together: "2 years from Mexico to Brazil with a social circus caravan ". About 7 months into the trip, we broke up and I found myself in the middle of Mexico without a plan or people and with a whole lot of luggage (the car we were traveling in was his). I felt completely flattened and even a little panicky. What awestruck me was 2 things: 1. The reaction of my family and friends-- Not a single one said come home, they all said you are strong and you can do this on your own! Keep on truckin'! 2. The generosity of the world-- In three weeks I was traveling with a new group and continued to have the incredible experience that I mentioned above.
