My name is Shay. I'm still relatively new to New Orleans having recently moved here from Philadelphia. I am quickly falling in love with the area and it would be fun to have someone to join me in exploring my new home. I'm looking to meet some fun people to hang out with and see what happens. I always enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. I'll try anything twice, you never know if the first time was just an off day. I'm the guy that's always in the center of the crowd entertaining everyone. I just bought a house, so I'm spending a lot of time turning it into a home and learning my new job, so it's always nice to have a distraction and an excuse to get away. If you're interested, say hello sometime!

I am active duty in the Navy, taking a slow tour of the US with NOLA as my third stop. My dad taught me long ago that you should be happy to wake up everyday and go to work and I'm glad to admit that I am.

Enjoying myself in any situation. I don't need someone else to keep me entertained, I'm quite flexible and not afraid to try anything.

All the things I need to do to turn my house into a home, it's surprisingly difficult when you work as much as I do.

If you aren't afraid of an adventure or at least an awkward conversation
