CURRENT MISSION Making new friends from all over the world! ABOUT ME I'm a juggler who used to headline for Cirque du Soleil - around show #1,500 I decided I needed a change of pace. Still in showbiz, but mostly working on cruise ships these days. I'm also an armchair linguist and chef wannabe. If I'm on the road, I've probably got a seasoned castiron skillet. Want to cook up something great? PHILOSOPHY Ad astra per aspera.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in German

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I try to be a joyful presence in everyone's life. I'm looking for new, interesting, and weird experiences. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My roommates have hosted couch surfers in the past, and I've done a bit of surfing myself. All of them have been very positive! (With the exception of one guest who ate all of my chocolate. Boo! Hiss!)
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Niebla - Miguel de Unamuno A Sorrow Beyond Dreams (Traumlose Sorgen) - Peter Handke The Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; LILA - Robert Pirsig Music: Music for Airports by Brian Eno is the single greatest record of all time and if you disagree we will fight to the death. Movies: The Man from Earth Cashback
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I lived on a bus with Zamora the Torture King (of Jim Rose Circus Sideshow fame) for three months. Then I was abandoned in Canada.
