I worked as a Merchandiser until just recently. I am a classically-trained musician. I am a potter, restorer of cars and homes, and an avid gardener.

My husband is an addiction counselor with the East Baton Rouge Parish correctional system. He loves his chickens, dogs, and our cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very familiar with the couch surfing experience having had to rely on the kindness of friends for a roof over my head many times. Now that I am settled and one half of an old married couple we are now in the position to give back.
