I am an author, editor, podcast host, and occult academic.
I was born and raised in Florida before leaving in my mid-20s for adventure. I landed in New Orleans and fell in love with the city. I discovered a passion for hosting and coziness through having a large historic home in the city. Having a guest room in New Orleans is a commodity and I found so much joy in inviting people to stay and treat them to an insider’s look at the city.
However, due to the rising cost of living along with the dropping income for many creatives, I had to say goodbye to that amazing house. Though I am still in contact with the owner and check in on it regularly. This experience; of living in and caring for a historic home, paired with inviting people to come stay, eat, and enjoy opened my up to the amazing world of hosting and being hosted.
A dream of mine is to one day own a bed and breakfast, but until then I want to stay at as many as possible. After realizing they are often a much better value then your average hotel and offers so many personal and cozy touches, I wanted to explore this world deeply.
I don’t need a big house,… Just a cozy one. A fireplace in the living room, those two little square windows on either side.
