CURRENT MISSION

"To do something impossible - to succeed, or die, knowing you had tried!"

ABOUT ME

One younger brother, two fine parents, myriad good friends, and a balding teacher-mentor make up my core circle. My bookshelves are overflowing, with anything from McSweeney's to contemporary novels to ancient classics to science fiction of all degrees. A proud fraternity man and decent amateur photographer. Raised near the fine city of New Orleans, and settling down just over the state line in Mississippi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not really quite sure how I fit in yet, but I'm quickly learning and expect to figure it out soon. I love my native state and adopted state and enjoy the chance to show people south Louisiana and Mississippi.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had great times in Portland, Ore., and Atlanta. Met some great hosters who really enriched my stay - in cinema and food, most especially. In Portland, I would never have found the best video rental/film museum place otherwise.
