International Juggler 2010

The concept:

So this year I've decided to do something different. I'm still shooting video in each country, but whenever I go somewhere special or interesting, or if I do something out of the ordinary, the plan is to release videos as I go along. This way, if you subscribe to my youtube channel or blog or twitter feed, you can see the adventures of the international juggler as they happen.

This page is a place to collect all the videos, along with some stories and photos.

January

I spent New Years Eve and Day on a cruise ship in South America. I flew home a few days later, and then spent most of the month at home. On the 26th I flew back to South America for another cruise. In my three weeks at home, my body clock never adjusted to Central European Time.

I juggled in:

• Montevideo, Uruguay.
• Punta Arenas, Chile.
• The Falkland Islands/Isla Malvinas.

February

I continued the cruise down to Antarctica. I juggled in gale force winds, or tried to. Later I joined a world cruise on the Queen Mary 2, sailing in the Pacific, and crossed the equator for the forth time this year.

In February I juggled in:

• Montevideo again.
• Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Falklands again.
• Antarctica.
• South Korea... but only in Seoul airport.
• Guam.
• Papua New Guinea.
• Australia.

March

In March I finished the QM2 contract in New Zealand, then flew home. At the end of March I flew out to India to join the Queen Victoria for part of its world cruise.

I juggled in:

• Auckland, New Zealand.
• China... but only in Hong Kong airport.
• Qatar... but only in Doha airport.
• Kochin, India.
• Mumbai, India.

April

Finished off my QV contract in the Persian Gulf, and flew home from Dubai. I had two days at home, then flew out to Barcelona to join the Prinsendam, a ship I work on so often I mentioned it as a home away from home last year. Instead of flying home at the end of this gig, I was stuck in Istanbul for a week due to volcanic ash clouds. I flew from there to Croatia to join a cruise in the Adriatic.

I visited more places than I juggled in. For various reasons I couldn't be bothered to get more shots of me juggling in Spain and France:

• Muscat, Oman.
• Dubai, UAE.
• Barcelona, Spain... no juggling due to apathy.
• St. Tropez, France... no juggling due to apathy.
• Pisa, Italy... no juggling due to too much rain.
• Civitavecchia, Italy... no juggling due to apathy.
• Olypia, Greece.
• Istanbul, Turkey.
• Dubrovnik, Croatia.
• Split, Croatia.
• Venice, Italy.
• Kotor, Montevideo.

May

I took May off work, and stayed at home.

June

After the Berlin Juggling Convention, my first of the year, I joined the HAL Eurodam in Dover for a cruise in the Baltic. Later I joined the Ocean Princess to start a northern Atlantic crossing.

I juggled in:

• Dover, England.
• Copenhagen, Denmark.
• Warnemunde, Germany.
• Tallinn, Estonia.
• Torshavn, Faroe Islands.

July

I only spent a few unplanned hour at home in July. The rest was taken up by the end of the atlantic crossing, a post-world-cup charter cruise out of Cape Town, and the EJC in Finland.

I juggled in:

• The Blue Lagoon, Iceland.
• Qaqortoq, Greenland.
• St. John's, Newfoundland.
• Cape Town, South Africa.
• The Namib Desert, Namibia.
• ... to be continued.
