CURRENT MISSION

Will trade Louisiana cooking for a place to stay while I backpack around the EU.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice, easy going guy. I am a teacher in New Orleans and am back in Europe for the first time in a few years and hoping to visit a few new places! I am a clean, low-maintenance guest, just trying to see as much of the world as possible. I love nothing more in the evenings than to get comfortable and talking about anything and everything. If you want to stay with me, I'll do my best to accommodate!

PHILOSOPHY

If I can succeed in seeing beauty, grace, and and goodness in all things, I will be a very happy man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I been on couchsurfing for almost five years and have made some dear friends along the way. I've hitchhiked and traveled for years,and love every minute of it (yes, even waiting in the rain next to the road, hoping for a ride). I've found no better way to travel than couchsurfing!

Interests

I'm interested in sports, travel, economics and theology. I also love fishing, hunting, eating, drinking, and being outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now?: "Confederacy of Dunces," "Game of Thrones," "Lord of the Rings (always!)," Clint Eastwood, Fats Domino, and Balkan Beat Box. Try and make sense of that.

Also, "Arrested Development" is the greatest show ever, and if you want to understand me better, watch "Treme."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got snowed in one year while traveling in the Alps, and a wonderful old couple took me in for almost a week before I could make my way out. That was some incredible hospitality. To make it even better, I was in the mountains, and there is no place more awesome than the mountains!
