Hi there everybody
So I am completely new to all of this. I bought my first set of poi two weeks ago on a trip to asia and now I just cant put them down again. My problem is that I don't know anybody who can teach me, so if anybody is willing to help me out a little I would be greatful. I taught gymnastics for 7 years so i'm not completely retarded when it comes to coordination and movements
Anyhow a bit about myself I guess... I'm currently studying international social work in Denmark after having lived and worked in England for three years. Travelling is my greatest passion and I have just... very much against my will, arrived home from 1.5 months in Asia.
Besides that I love music and i sing mainly jazz, blues and folk and play the guitar a little!
Otherwise I love food I guess, reading and meeting new interesting people. People call me a bit of a hippy, but that's probably more because I have got dreadlocks and more piercings than the average citizen here in Denmark
I hope to hear from some of you like minded people out there!

Hiya Jannie, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Welcome to HoP Jannie, I love The Alchemist.
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
