Hooping the Town Green
Participating in the Brisbane St. Patrick's Day Parade continues to be a highlight of my experience as a performer. It has been an opportunity to combine my love of hula hooping with my affection for Ireland, and to share both with the world. This year, my performance was inspired by my life-changing experience of living in Ireland, travelling all over the country for twelve months.
A Journey of Travel
I recently published this blog post as part of a three-part series, but the second part has taken a little longer to get to, so I decided to re-publish this first post to keep them closer together. If you missed it the first time, enjoy! In this post, I'm talking about one of the three loves of my life: Travel. Where I started, what these experiences meant to me and my life, the lessons they have offered, and how they have influenced my two other loves, writing and circus.
