ABOUT ME

I love living in South Louisiana because of our lifestyle! From seafood boils, to Mardi Gras, or catching a big redfish, it's always a good time.

I am from a rural part of Louisiana where Cajun French is still spoken, and my family still uses the language. I spent much time hunting and fishing and on the bayou when I was young. After college, I came to New Orleans, the most interesting city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My neighbors introduced me to couchsurfing and it has been a great experience, so far. I don't think I would want to visit another country any other way. I want to connect with people and share the moments.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Spain, Austria, France, and Germany. I live in Uptown New Orleans and enjoy having guests at my house. I want to help people experience what New Orleans and Louisiana are really about.

Interests

My interests include running, cooking, playing music, auto mechanics, fishing, sailing, and anything on the water. I participate in the running community here in New Orleans, and play trumpet with two bands around town.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Louisiana music - we have so many great artists and unique genres here. Any Cajun music or New Orleans rhythm and blues sounds good to me, and I am always discovering new music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Interacting with people who lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina was a powerful experience. Losing all belongings is tough, but the disruption of the community and scattering of people is worse.

On a positive note, watching sunrises from the boat in the Louisiana marsh, or on Grand Isle, are pretty hard to beat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope that I might contribute to the community by sharing Louisiana's culture and way of life with others. I would like to share my experiences and connect.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you plan what to do during your visit to New Orleans, find live music, play music with you, and if I have a boat trip planned, I can show you the swamp and marshes. If you are here on the weekend and like to sail, maybe we can get out.
