I'm a ballet dancer based in Tampa, FL, and I currently dance with Brandon Ballet. I also like cooking and eating paleo, podcasts on personal growth, and going for walks. I'm an introverted type, but that doesn't mean I don't like people, just that I need some peace and quiet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel around for ballet auditions and events and would love to meet new people on the road.

Interests

Professionally, I like classical ballet. I could spend hours watching videos on youtube. I also like personal growth and lifehacks. I wish I knew more about personality theory and emotional investigations. Someday, I'd like to write my own music. And I'm pretty high on the frugal scale, so if there's some way I can save money, please teach me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Moulin Rouge. It's my favorite movie of all time. Other favorites include The Pursuit of Happyness, Take the Lead, and Romeo + Juliet. And generally, I like the popular Disney movies, especially Wreck-it Ralph. I enjoy classical music, which is my default radio station, but I'll listen to pop or country or oldies on occassion. For books, I like to listen to audiobooks since I'm in the car a lot, and I go for the books in the public domain (because they're free), so usually writers in the 18th and 19th centuries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've started ballet at 25, an age when many dancers retire, and that I have a paid gig is pretty impressive. I've put a lot of time, energy, and money into it--it's been a little consuming, to be honest. My results are modest at best, but I'm proud of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories, mostly. What it's like to be a ballet dancer, what it's like to be paleo. We can swap risks we've taken (or not taken), and just see where that leads.
