I'm a Canadian born professional ballet dancer living and working in Munich. In my spare time I program iOS apps and create websites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly for auditions. Hostels can be nice but often you meet tourists with their own daily agendas. I would prefer to meet couchsurfers because they sign up with the intent of meeting people.

Interests

A bunch of stuff. I'm a ballet dancer so naturally I like dance, be it modern, contemporary, ballet, or out with friends. I'm a what most people call a nerd. I'm great with computers and I've taught myself how to make iOS apps in my spare time. I'm a lover of good cinema and TV but I also enjoy a healthy dose of active outdoorsy stuff. I'm not so much into touristy things, I'd rather share a beer and enjoy some good conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: really anything that isn't horror and movies that people put care into making.
Music: electronic to orchestral, scores to (a few) catchy top 40s. Anything with violins. I'm shawnthroop on Rdio if you're super curious.
Books: lately I've been reading Neal Stephenson and a bunch of technical programming stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

It says teach learn share. I don't know what to put here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you need some technological help, I'm really good with computers. I also have this knack for doing other people's dishes when I visit.
