ABOUT ME

I like learning languages, riding my bike, hiking, drawing, and sitting by rivers. I also enjoy a drink and a good chat! I like to take my boat out to the swamps, crack open a cold beer, and watch alligators and other wildlife.

PHILOSOPHY

I take my time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hitchhiked all the way from Tours, France to Barcelona with one truck driver

At work I freeze people so they don’t have brain damage after a cardiac arrest. It actually works, y’all!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach ya some Cajun French, and how to two-step! I can take ya fishing too, or out on a swamp tour in my canoe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I almost always travel with my canoe—we can take it out on the water!
