Hey I am Ian.
I am a 20 year old trying to travel and learn as much as possible about the world. I love meeting new people and exchanging stories and experiences. My big dream is to become big in the entertainment industry, world wide, as a famous actor. I am a well-trained magician and fire-dancer, with a 6-year degree from the College of Magic in South Africa and I love to entertain others and perform around the world. I am a very open minded person always want to learn and try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying to meet as many people as possible while I am travelling and make new friends. At the moment I am in the Miami, Florida area, but the person who I was hosting by can no longer do so. So my new mission is to live as an nomad for the next few weeks and learn as much as I can about the different cultures here in Miami until my date of departure arrives.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big movie buff and love watching all the great classic films and series that influenced our pop culture today. I love listening, playing and making music and also have and open mind when it comes to listening to a wide variety of different genres.

I also finally caught up with GOT, after working with some of the HBO crew members, and can now finally watch the last season with everyone else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving everything I know behind and going to China to study 7 styles of Kung Fu for 8-9 hours a day under a Shaolin Monk for 7 months in my gap year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic English and I love to learn more about other cultures and languages where ever I go. I can also teach Guitar, juggling, poi, fire spinning and a bunch of other skills I have obtained through the years. I could also a very skilled magician and would not mind entertaining you with some of my effects.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help teach English or any other skill I have obtained and I would love to help out around the house in any way by running some errand or helping with odd jobs. I am also a fitness instructor and was it the main reason I had the opportunity to be here in America and I have a lot of cool stories and experiences to share.
