CURRENT MISSION

Hoping to graduate from UW in the coming year. In the meantime, enjoying Seattle and training for my second marathon.

ABOUT ME

I was born in New Orleans, LA . I had lived in southeast Louisiana my whole life until recently. I now live in Seattle, Washington.

I've been fortunate enough to have had some international travel experiences and it really switched on my sense of curiosity. I think I'd be willing to go just about anywhere on Earth at this point.

As for the things I do to entertain myself, I row, I take photographs, I read, I ride my bike, I swim, I am learning to play ukulele(fun!), I listen to a good deal of music, and I like to explore places in general.

I just graduated from LSU this past December and I am currently in pursuit of a Master's in Urban Planning at the University of Washington.

PHILOSOPHY

I am still trying to discover my life's maxim. Until then I'll be happy with learning, seeing, and doing.

I think that people are too concerned with the daily grind. I hope I never wind up in that cycle.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I've hosted a number of travelers in Baton Rouge. It's my hope that I am able to show people a side of this town that not everyone gets to experience.

Good beer or espresso and lively conversations don't hurt either!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted quite a number of people now. Curiously, most of them have spoken French. Perhaps Louisiana still has some residual colonial allure.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach you to row. I can sort of play ukulele, so we can jam. I can teach you the basics of handling a camera. I can show you how to fix a bicycle. I know a lot of goofy trivia about the world!

I really should learn how to sew. I would honestly like to learn anything you have to show me! If School House Rock taught me anything, it's that knowledge is power!
