About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make people smile. Learn lots.

ABOUT ME

I like simple things like weet-bix, coffee, chocolate and beer, although not all together. I love meeting open-minded people and chatting about life, the universe and adventures.
I'm a circus man by trade, I'm a juggler, unicyclist, acrobat and want to chase my real passion, flying trapeze. I love working with kids and using the arts as a tool for positive change.

PHILOSOPHY

Forget about the bad stuff and celebrate the good stuff, usually with beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Heard about this whilst traveling and thought it was a great idea, it turned my holiday around, met so many great and wonderful people. Now back home I'm hoping to meet up with other travelers and show them the city I love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with so many wonderful people throughout Europe and Ireland. Incredible, all great experiences and magic people.

Interests

Arts and culture, coffee, food, beer. I'm learning French and loving the challenge.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like jazz, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Harry Connick Jr. Singer/songwriters like Lior, Jason Mraz, Regina Spektor and Kate Miller-Hiedke are great too.
I like all things magical and imaginative like super hero movies, fantasy novels and comics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Angkor Wat in Cambodia, something so incredibly strong and powerful in a land that is so torn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach circus, juggling, balancing, trapeze and acrobatics. Bit of a hobby jazz musician too, play a bit of piano, trumpet and I used to teach children to sing.
Really want to learn more French and any other languages really. Love learning about cooking and making coffee too.
