Be honest, be nice, or leave...that's my motto

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always thought it best to explore a city with a local and couchsurfing seems like the best way to meet up with strangers who are eager to show off their home town.

I'm also fascinated with my own home city (New Orleans) and I'd be happy to show off the eccentric corners of New Orleans and south Louisiana to those visiting who are true 'travelers'
