I have one beautiful son, who is actually a cat named Sir Patricia Lasagna. My all-time hero is Jim Henson and I have a minor hobby of puppets. Not in a weird way, I promise.

I currently work as a paralegal but am trained in graphic design. I went to art school and would describe myself as an art/design nerd.
I moved to New Orleans when I was 20 and at this point, I am fully immersed in Mardi Gras culture. I just joined a dance troupe called the Muff-a-lottas and am working really hard on learning the dances as I am not a naturally skilled dancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best friend and I love going on adventures, but - TBH we're cheap. Cheap as in we're a little broke but still want to go on adventures so we're trying to balance that budget.

We want to experience as much of the world as possible on a dime. We're dorky but also super cool best friends. Think Abbi and Ilana or Wayne and Garth.
