Hey guys!

My name’s Sammie and I’m a circus acrobat. I also happen to love to travel, hence the blog. Though born and raised in Chicago (Go Bears!), I’m currently living in Macau, an administrative region of China. Or in other words, I live in the Las Vegas of China.

I first moved abroad after college to shoot my shot at making it into the world’s largest water show called The House of Dancing Water. It worked! Life’s been snowballing ever since. I met a wonderful man (who happened to be my circus partner), and since then, we lived in Mexico to escape being separated during COVID, Dubai to work for less than minimum wage when the industry was starting up again. Then back to the USA. He went to Cirque du Soleil, I went into Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and we both went into 2 years of long-distance.

But now things are back to the good old days. We have moved back to Macau for the time being, which means I get to explore all of Southeast Asia all over again. And this time I’m not missing any of it.

Follow along for all my weekend trips, short day trips, and long vacations. I hate tourist traps and get the ick when people do sh** just for the gram, so I’ll be honest here. And if you have any questions, please hit me up. If I can help, I will; if I can’t, I probably have someone in my circus cast who can.
