And so I find myself yet again living in another home in Chile, this time I'm back in the capital Santiago. The difference this time is who I'm living with and it is massively upping my experience of being here. Mona and I met about two years ago in a 'Hula Bajo De La Luna'... Continue Reading →

Last night was the first night I hooped with fire. I bought my bendy wicks a couple of months ago back home, however not having a huge hooping community on my doorstep unlike I have here I decided to wait before the first burn.

I sometimes find that with travelling around so much that these signatures help mark the differences in the places that I get to visit, keeping me from becoming complacent. And with Paraguay it is the use... Continue Reading →

  The 8th Convention de Circo Paraguay 2017 in Minga Guazu was rich with talent, skill and style from all over South America and beyond.
