Hello @anomadsoul. My name is Alex, and I'm a 28 years old circus artist from Croatia. My complete financial life income comes from performing, leading workshops, and organizing festivals that are connected to circus skills, such as juggling, acroyoga, object manipulation and clowning. There are a lot of countries around the world where circus as a way of life is very common and usual (France, Spain, Germany, USA, etc.). But here in Croatia, there are all together less than a hundred circus artists, and the circus scene is in its pioneering moment. Croatia is not a very enlightened or developed county, and being a circus artist here is not very common. I've been doing circus for the last nine years, and for the last three years I can finally completely live from this. I dedicated all of my life so I could bring happiness to people, and live life in constant training. Recently I've made an incomplete intersection post of my nine years long performing (there's a lot of stuff missing, cause I have to find it), which you can see here:

Most if the things that I've posted are with my girlfriend Diana, because we're working together. We're here on Steemit because we want to promote circus art, connect with other circus artists, art enthusiasts, free thinkers, permaculture practitioners and all the people with a good vision and motivation.
Our current life motivation is to make a straw bale house in the countryside, to escape from the city, for what we'll need a few more years; connect and educate about the health benefits of circus as a sport in Croatia; produce high-quality performances with positive message to the audience.
Thank you for your time. :)
