We are James and Angela, explorers of amazing spaces, conservationists, oenophiliacs and passionate travelers. Never more than arms length from our lifelong love. Charismatic, outgoing, easy conversation, with charming southern accents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have a great passion for and belief in authenticity; walking slow with an open mind while meeting new and interesting people; primed to share our adventures from Barrow to the Darien Gap while establishing a network of likeminded worldwide surfers and hosts.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not fussy about music; enjoy all; will listen to your favorite
Love history, biographies, and non-fiction
Immense fan of individual, award winning performances; not specific movies. Daniel Day Lewis in "Gangs of New York", Forest Whitaker in "Last King of Scotland", Meryl Streep in "Bridges over Madison County", Christopher Waltz in "Inglorious Bastards", and Idris Elba in "Beasts of No Nation" as examples. Cherish performers paired with scripts matching their poise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've spent a minimum of one night and/or a full day in all 50 U.S. states! ( driving through, only stopping for fuel, as well as, stranded in airports doesn't count)...:)

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you want to launch big ships, you must go where the water is deep"

We love to cook with our couchsurfing friends. Sharing food and wine eliminates cultural barriers; dispelling biases and myths. Food brings people together. We love to prepare and share our delicious Cajun recipes from south Louisiana, as well as, sample your favorite...Mi cocina es su cocina..:))

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy, respectful presence, active listening, cajun dishes, along with amazing north american travel stories, hopefully, leading to valued friendships. :)
