About Me

CURRENT MISSION

USA/Canada/Brazil/Argentina/Chile for the next 5 months. On an arts residency in NYC for August - love to meet local creative and queers.

ABOUT ME - 2022

I'm a clown/physical comedian with a passion for melted cheese! I'm a performer, director and stilt walker involved in all sorts of theatre and community projects in Garramilla (Darwin).

I am a queer, non-binary human with a strong sense of social justice and low-impact living. I like running, mindfulness meditation, dancing, making people laugh, talking bushwalks and making cups of tea. Variety is the spice of life.

I travelled for a long while in my late teens and early-mid 20’s and greatly appreciate all the experiences. I have settled in Darwin’s arts scene for the moment, and although my travels are currently of shorter duration I look forward to meeting some more interesting folk!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, stay creative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently between houses, so can't host, but I can give you plenty of travel advice re the NT, or show you around if I'm free. If you are interested in the Arts or queer scenes I am often going to shows/gigs!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent. Have surfed in Aus, NZ and South East and Central Asia so far and hosted a few in Melbourne in past sharehouses. Have been a member since Sept 2008 and have met some amazing and amazingly eccentric people from all walks of life.

Interests

Clowning, comedy, physical theatre, watching theatre, experimental theatre, absurd performance art, riding my bike, singing, general silliness. If you are very passionate about something, and can share it with me I will be interested in it too!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love documentaries. Foreign language movies. Ghostworld pleasantly surprised me.

Live music! Latin! Gypsy! Jazz! Fusion! Folk!

Short story collections, novels about everyday people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making children laugh 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

Things to share - travel stories (real stories, more than 'where have you been, how long are you travelling for?' stuff), laughter, the odd beer or meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of knowledge about the Darwin arts and queer scene. General advice about travel around Australia. I can teach you to juggle. :)
