Currently living in my camper and not necessarily in New Orleans. Berlin most summers.

Some evidence: one of my surfers has a travel vlog: https://youtu.be/ESD6i7XFoP0

I love traveling and learning about other cultures. I would love to host you to help you learn about NOLA culture! My travel philosophy, “Upon those travelers who make their way without maps or guides, there breaks a wave of exhilaration with each unexpected change of plans. This exhilaration is not a whore who can be bought with money nor a neighborhood beauty who may be wooed. She (to persist in personifying the sensation as female) is a wild and sea-eyed undine, the darling daughter of adventure, the sister of risk, and it is for her rare and always ephemeral embrace, the temporary pressure she exerts on the membrane of ecstasy, that many men leave home.” Tom Robbins
