I am one of the most well known and experienced tour guides in New Orleans. I love New Orleans and love showing people its non-touristy side. I frequent many local bars but am mostly a day-drinker (as we tend to be in this city). I love movies, board games, traveling and lazy days kicking back at the local watering hole with good friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Bus travel has started becoming ridiculously cheap and I am likewise looking for an affordable way to stay where I travel without supporting Air B&B. I have plenty of space in my apartment to host as well. Maybe I'll get to show some people the REAL New Orleans
