Overview
About Me
Hi there, my name is Playdoh. I’m a puppeteer and run a DIY backyard venue and community space in New Orleans.
.
Some interesting stuff about me? I did a performance in a squirrel costume for a year, I’ve lived in various coop houses with 25+ people for 4 years, I rowed a boat across a baseball field.
Always happy to help with house chores, cooking/cleaning, fixing things, etc…
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am hoping to travel to gain a more diverse and expansive knowledge of cultures and traditions. I’m traveling to Europe this summer for a puppetry festival and hoping to meet some cool folks!
Beyond all that - it feels fundamentally important to me that there is something like Couchsurfing where people can meet and offer to share space in a way that is not monetized.
