I’m a Cajun girl from south Louisiana. There’s nowhere I don’t want to experience. I’ve been known to stop and smell the dirt instead of the roses. I’m a pacifist reconciling my penchant for mosquito assassination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new and different people. Tell me about your life; lend me your perspective. I want to learn.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jeff Buckley, Minnie Ripperton, Starhawke, Ram Dass, Alice Coltrane, Chet Baker, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, David Lynch...I like most things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I meet magical people everywhere I travel. This has led me to taking dictation from an old author who could no longer write in a bar in New Orleans; recording music at 4 AM with strangers in Paris; taking part in an ancestry ritual with a Mongolian shaman in the Thai jungle; building a sun temple out of fabric in a valley in Vietnam; skinny dipping in the Mediterranean as the sun came up; participating in various wrestling-themed forays...lets share stories! It’s so hard to choose just one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak French and cook many things, including delicious Cajun food — willing to help/share these things! I love reading aloud or being read to, especially if there is a fireplace and tea involved. I play a few instruments and love to sing, if you’d like to create some music together. I can teach you how to apply the perfect cat-eye eyeliner. I can braid your hair. I'll cut your dog's nails for you. I'll remove the spider from your bedroom. I am great with kids (be they 3 years old or 95); I know many writing and drawing games to play, and I love to pretend. I always love to let my inner-child out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook. I’ll listen to you. I’ll read to you. I have many stories to share. I have a very calm and usually sunny disposition. I am extremely accepting of everyone: various lifestyles, religions, practices do not scare me off, on the contrary, I travel to learn about them. I know bits and pieces of many languages. I can offer New Orleans travel tips and tricks.
