CURRENT MISSION
Music, Green Building and Eco-Biz in New Orleans

ABOUT ME
I've been involved with rebuilding in post-Katrina New Orleans (NOLA) 2006-2010

This past 4 years (2012-16) I've been getting back into nutrition, alternative health and eco-biz.

After spending the past 8 months surfing between Quebec and New England I`m thinking ``Hmmm ... maybe move up here for awhile ... at least split time between NOLA and the Northeast !!!``

...

Fall 2017 will be spent travelling again ... this time a West Coast visit ! It's been since before Hurricane Katrina since my last time out ... 17 years in wet and moldy NOLA may have caught up with me ... nothing that a drier climate can't remedy !

PHILOSOPHY
Every day is an adventure ...

When you forget , just remember !

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll have to think about that a bit ...
well right now I'm travelling and hope to meet cool folks along the way.
Better for a local to show you around ...

I love when visitors come to NOLA ... good food, good music, good people !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just got the e-mail site while sitting on a friend's couch in Brooklyn.

I've surfed with friends I know ...
I'm looking forward to new friends.

...
One year later and I can say I've met the most friendly people ever! I guess when you've got a travellin' bone
you tend to be open to new ideas and experiences !!!

...
8 years later and still rockin' out w/ CSrs ... despite the dramatic website changes ... and Air B'n'B defections ... lookin' forward to testing the CS waters on the West Coast

US Route 2 in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Seen the TOTAL ECLIPSE for 2.5 minutes !!!!!!!!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Along the way, especially during 2010, I'm finding many CSrs reinventing themselves. I'm connecting dots in a way that I've only dreamed, connecting my passions and profession ... this includes music, food, health, environment and entrepreneurial activity.
...
Now that it's 2017 , this groove is getting deeper ...

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

A good story or two , a night on the town , a day out travelling , a meal - home cooked or at a restaurant with a menu of recipes better than my cooking (which has improved since living in NOLA and Montreal!)
