New Orleans

New Orleans isn’t just a city; it’s a character in our story. Even after traveling the world, we always find ourselves drawn back to its vibrant streets, soulful music, and unforgettable food. Whether we’re exploring famous graves in Metairie Cemetery or enjoying events like Hogs for the Cause, NOLA continues to inspire us.

Mrs. Nola Nerd has spent most of her life in the Greater New Orleans area. Although Mr. Nola Nerd grew up in Lafourche Parish and has never actually lived in New Orleans, he worked for three years in the New Orleans Parish Public Schools. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina led to the permanent closure of his school. He cherished every moment of that job, as it provided him with a deep understanding of the city, given that the school served students from all over New Orleans.

Why it matters: New Orleans is more than a backdrop or a place to visit; it’s part of who we are. We hope to inspire you to explore its magic, whether you’re visiting for the first time or discovering hidden gems. We live close enough to understand how the city works (and sometimes doesn’t). Even though we have been to Paris, London, and Rome, this city is still our favorite.
