Discover the REAL Lafayette Louisiana in 2025!

Join me as I spend some extended time in the great state of Louisiana in the charming town of Lafayette! We'll get an authentic and historical POV on Cajun and Creole culture. We'll board an airboat and skim the top of the bayou and come face to face with wild gators. And of course will make a brief stop at the most famous hot sauce factory on the planet, Tabasco.
