Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started hosting people in New Orleans because I was living alone and I LOVE showing people around the city. I had a very successful first month and really liked getting to know the people that stayed with me. Now I am trying to go out and be a traveler myself. I am excited at the possible connections that can be made by staying with local people that enjoy the same things I do. I want to get to know people in the places I go and truly interact with the environment I am a visitor in.

Interests

I really like to bike places whenever the opportunity is present and the weather is not super cold. I enjoy watching animal videos on YouTube because I wish I had more pets. I love my cay BabyBoy, he is 12 years old and very grumpy. I used to live in a house with all my best friends and I hope that this happens again although I'm not quite sure how this fits into my interests. I love listening to people talk and conversations about uncommon things such as the Galapagos tortoises for example.
