I hail from Chicago, IL where I graduated from NorthWestern University with a degree in Economics. I currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada where I am a professional dancer. The last production I was cast in was Jersey Boys, at the Hotel Paris. The most amazing thing about this job is that is was my first formal audition in theatre and I got the role! Now that my shows run has ended I am focusing on growing all areas of my talent and abilities. Things have been moving at a fast clip ever since and developing rapidly. This growth requires me to travel quite extensively, so when I heard about CS from a friend i jumped at the opportunity.

I am a firm believer and advocate of that old mantra "What goes around comes around." It is why I shine light, positivity, and all of myself to whomever I meet, wherever I go, and it is giving me the richest life experience I could have hoped for. As I climb my to my next goal I want to meet as many loving good friends that I can along the way, and take them with me to the top,, it doesn't have to be lonely up there. I am neat, funny, an excellent cook, and always have a listening ear.

If I sound like the type of person you would not just want sleeping, on your couch, but also you want to build a great relationship with I am your guy. The more love the merrier! As you read tis I am sending you light, love, and abundance. Talk soon friend.

All the best,

Lawrence Elliott

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To interact with new people in new environments and be immersed in other cultures and the varied human experience. To spread the message of kindness, love, and creativity with my actions as well as my words. And finally to see the destinations I will explore through the eyes of a local, and not a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After my estranged father had to have massive back surgery, I took a month off on Family Medical Leave to care for him and I taught him how to walk again. I had only known him for a year, he came back into my life in my life when I was 20, after not being in my life at all, or providing my mother with any financial support. But it allowed me to put myself in his shoes and see his life from his perspective, especially since I had to do everything for him to manage his life while he was incapacitated. I learned more about myself than I even did about him, and learned that sometimes you have to follow the path for your life no matter what anyone else thinks, no matter what the cost, and I was able to forgive him for abandoning me. Needless to say after that month he was no longer estranged and since we have become very close. That experience changed my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myself with love, that is the greatest gift we have to give another anyway. I believe the entire purpose of existence relationship. Ask yourself, without any type of relationships between anything, humans, animals, energy itself, what is there? Just the Source. So we are here so Source can experience itself. I teach others how to experience what they want to in their, lives and how to eliminate what they don't.
