What an experience! Don’t even know were to start to describe it all. I think I will do it in a few posts. Let’s start with a general wrap up. For those who don’t know it: LAUCC is the Latin-American Unicycle Championship and Convention.
As The Netherlands is really flat we don’t have a Muni-culture. Most unicyclists from Holland follow the same path I took: you discover the unicycle in a youth-circus and if you like it you start unicycling track. I still do track and I love long distances (10+ kms).
My dad and I have rented a small apartment next to La Candelaria, the vibrant heart of Bogotá. It’s beautiful, yesterday’s pictures were taken there. Our apartment is in the top of a high-rise. It’s very practical. We have a small kitchen, decent bathroom/shower and good beds.
So here I am, 9000 kms from home in sunny Colombia. Downtown Bogotá to be more precise. This city is home to 11-and-a-half million people and is in 2024 host of the Latin American Unicycle Championship and Convention. Or the Campeonato y Convención LatinoAmericano de Monociclo as it is known in Spanish. Hello Colombia!
In 2023 I played my unicycle/circus/theater-act “Eaters” on a lot of locations, ranging from festivals to theaters and from events to ages old historic places. And then I was allowed to perform my act under the big top of the Wintercircus Leiden as part of the Miloco Wintercircus. A truly unforgettable experience.
