Roaming Sparrow

My name is Tim, purveyor of the Roaming Sparrow. A former entertainment company and circus owner who put down the top hat to travel the world. That is me in that picture on the side juggling some sickles. Even after years of planning shows and trips, I have had these same questions, and wondered if it is all doable, to live a life of travel. That is why I started The Roaming Sparrow. To make a go at living a life of travel. In the process, documenting the journey for others to follow. It’s true, you never really do know where you end up in life. When I was a kid, I wanted to make video games and got a BFA in Computer Animation, got a job in film working on special effects. Life tossed me a curve ball and I ended up running away with Cirque du Soleil. I worked on the “Kooza” show for a little over a year as a photographer. While on the road, I fell in love with Circus and decided to start my own operation in Atlanta GA. And that is what I did. Allays tho, this desire for travel was growing. Its not easy starting a circus… they dont have any books for it. Lol. Years of learning, skill building and more. In September of 2014 I took a month off from my company to travel in South East Asia and it open my eyes very wide. WOW. This rekindled my deep desire to see more of the world. In 2017 I did a short tour with Ringling Brothers. I joined them in Washington DC, and started to live on the train as a backstage hand. What an amazing experience. Living on a train with AMAZING artists from around the world. I met people with colorful backgrounds and stories. My mission now is to pass along travel knowledge to others who wish to take the leap. To help with guidance, knowledge and accounts of what its like to be on the road. Lets work together to make you the best traveler you can be!
