i think outside the box and like to associate with other free thinkers. do most of my own work . grow much of my food and some flowers. try to use sustainable living practices. food is medicine. go fishing by cayak and motorboat. like riding my bike. make jewelry. play guitar and banjo. love dancing. notice connections. everything in life is a blessing even the things i hate. look for the lessons. seek courage, joy, and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i like to spend time near the salt water and the beach. dont like traveling as a tourist and would prefer staying with people who live at the beach .
since i live in the acadiana area of louisiana, people who like cajun/creole culture can stay here and enjoy it particularly during festivals and mardigras season.
hoping to maybe reciprocate with someone who has room for me at the beach occasionally.
