My partner and I live in an unfinished house with 4 dogs and 30 chickens. We believe human connection and hard work is greater than money. We spend most of our time fixing up our house, enjoying the music and culture New Orleans has to offer, or sharing food and good times with friends.

I am the construction minded one with a love for plants and animals. He is a clown who likes jokes, good conversation and shenanigans. We both love to cook!

We have a very Do It Yourself ethos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the experience of seeing a city through the eyes of someone that lives there. You get a much more honest and interesting experience.
Was helped by many on a trip across the US and would love to return the favor.

Met some great friends through couchsurfing and can't wait to continue to do so.

Yo-yos, juggling, hula hooping, playing with toys. Guitar and singing, on and off musicians. Fixing anything and everything. Nurturing life, dogs, chickens, etc. Making big weird art/puppets.
