Overview
About Me
A spontaneous backpacker suffering from incurable wanderlust. Will be backpacking through Europe for 3 months starting in Dublin, March 10 and finishing in Lisbon, June 6 so i'm eager to establish an online presence before the trip.
My buddy and i are born and raised Louisianians and love to meet new people, have a good time and learn as much as we digest!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We are on a strict budget as we are quitting our jobs to go on this trip and want to save a little for when we return home.
Basically, i saved for a 1.5 years to make this trip and i could care less for the costs, personally and financially. Any free opportunity to stay (would work as payment) is a godsend. Hostels and overnight trains are secondary options.
Interests
I am the most knowledgeable American rugby player you can ever meet so please never shy away from testing my knowledge.
Coming from the Louisiana swamps, i love nature but can't get enough in the concrete jungle that is New Orleans. I hike, camp (when i can) and socialize. I realize that is quite generic but like the saying, “If there was no New Orleans, America would just be a bunch of free people dying of boredom.” – Judy Deck

Music, Movies, and Books
Pop, 90s lover, Rock, some rap but mainly stick to Indies. Love vocals and a guitare more than a computer but am not to biased.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Backpacked Australia and New Zealand by myself after college on a budget of $3k for a month and a half. Pretty rad by my standards
Teach, Learn, Share
Went into a coma for 5 days, heart stopped 3 different times but still woke up at the age of 14. My life changed forever.
I look through a different lense now. The world is something of a mystery only when your eager to discover what it is. I'm not afraid to be the first to do something. Let the ashes fall and the wind will do the rest
Most importantly, never forget where you come from. Your supporters are your family, blood or not.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Great antecdotes, amazing entertainment (great impressionists), free stays when you visit NOLA or wherever i move when i go home.
Also can be a great companion for people similar to myself. Let's have some fun and learn from each other. I'm all for it!
Countries I’ve Visited
Australia, Mexico, New Zealand
