Traveling to Lisbon June 1st and will be gone for two months.

I'm a New Orleans-based journalist and editor, and I love to travel without expectations or itineraries. As a New Orleanian, I particularly enjoy seeing the things port cities all have in common- open minded cultures, long histories, and the best story tellers. Here is a project my two best friends and I have been working on for years as we travel: www.theworldmusiclibrary.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to participate in a global community of friends and travelers. There's nothing better when you are traveling to new places, and hosting is such a great way to see your own city through fresh eyes.
