I am a fun loving guy that comes from a very large family, making comfortable with sharing my personal space. I am never afraid to make a new friend or show someone a good time in the town I love. As a guest, I was raised well to leave no trace and can be counted on to maintain a clean area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not blessed with lots of money but I am gifted with a love for traveling and am looking to make the latter more feasible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rap, funk and jazz mostly for the rhythm of the music. I am not the typically the listener that meditates deeply on lyrics, I am far more likely to have no idea what is being said. The rhythm and emotion of the song is what's most important to me.

My favorite movies are Remember the Titans and Dances with Wolves, although I could list movies I love for eons. Feelgood movies and intense dramas are right up my alley.

The best book I have ever read is Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. While I occasionally will finish some non-fiction, fictitious novels about realistic plots are usually what I go for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While resting at the base of a climb in Mexico, a couple of guys approached my friends and I and offered to smoke us out. After we said "Fucking right" (which doesn't actually translate), they rolled the largest joint I have ever smoked out of the wrapper of a toilet paper roll. We sat on a boulder and they patiently chatted with us while we stumbled through our vague memory of Spanish vocabulary. That day I contributed nothing to the world, but for some reason this is one of my favorite moments I have ever lived.

Teach, Learn, Share

Growing up the seventh of eight children put me in a position where a great deal of wisdom was imparted on me. I am still figuring out so many things about life, but I love to share the words my brothers and sisters have shared with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being from Louisiana I normally say thank you with a six-pack and a meal. My mom taught me to cook when I was a kid and I love to share my skill with anyone. Omnivore, Vegan or carnivore, I am aptly prepared to satisfy the appetite of just about anyone.
