Bonjour Sylvia,
It is nice to meet you, I was thinking we were not that many from Switzerland out here but I see that there are some :H:
I am from Switzerland but have been living most of my life in Southern Africa before coming back To Switzerland a few years ago.
I'm living in Gstaad right now, not too far from Fribourg.
I'm not a whipcracker at all, I'm more into Fire Poi :D I never tried whipcracking yet but I would definitely love to learn one time :whip:
Your job sounds amazing, I will definitely look up Circus Ginnett 8-[]
See you around :D

Amicalement :TOH:

Hi JM,
So i still don't know any whipcrackers in Swittzerland... :-)
Very nice to meet you too!I like fire poi, idid a little bit of poi ,my ex partner and i did an oriental juggling act and i performed a small poi routine,but not on fire.It was just the basic thing but for that act it was enough.
South Africa ,sounds interesting ,i've never been there yet...
maybe we'll meet up at some point to do a little bit of whipcracking and poi.
Have a nice day!
Sylvia
