I am an American that has recently moved to Sweden. I live in the country near Svedala, but often need a place to stay in Malmö.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The cash flow has been off and on, and I had left my AirBnB a few weeks ago. I've been crashing on a mattress in my friend's office for 2&1/2 weeks, and I have to leave by Friday March 11. I have tried to rent a place the entire time, but no one will take the dog. We will be homeless starting Friday night. (36 hours from this post.)

Interests

Movies, comics, music, theatre, new and different cultures, traveling, cooking. My dog, adventures, new and interesting people, anything nerdy, including the sciences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that enables my escapism. I love comics and fantasy/sci-fi. For books it's either adventure fantasy or non-fiction: biographies, histories and classical literature. If it's 1000 years old or older, I'll read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the first openly gay elected official in the history of Louisiana.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach Cajun cooking, history and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. I want to learn more languages and see more places before I die. I love to share my knowledge of the world, science cooking and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cajun cooking, a VERY loving dog who they will love from the moment they meet her, and a spirit of adventure. Also, love to talk about New Orleans and Louisiana.
