Irish actor from Belfast living in Dublin, Ireland.

I was invited over to the States to perform with a play and wanted to make the most out of being here to travel, see the sites, experience great nights and meet great people!

When I'm not acting I work as an assistant director in film and television. Also used to work in the arts and the bartending game in Ireland!

Big into music, art & film
Always up for meeting new and interesting people from around the world

I guess my instagram gives a good view into the sort of guy I am if you want to check that out: @shawthorne1

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heard from good friends the great experiences they have had through signing up to couchsurfing and wanted to get involved.
I love meeting new people and whilst I'm over here in America want to get a true experience from locals and then be able to return the favour when I return to Ireland.

I work in film, television and the arts, so I've been fortunate enough to work on some incredible productions with some incredible people...and that comes along with some incredible stories.

Other than that i went to University in Edinburgh, Scotland and when I was a teen I was scouted for a professional soccer team in England.
