Welcome to NolaNerdCouple.com!

Hey there! We're a family living just outside of New Orleans, sharing our adventures in fandom, family life, and everything in between.

What started as a food and travel blog (CookTravelEat.com) evolved into this nerdy wonderland when we couldn't stop sharing our passion for pop culture, gaming, and conventions. While we still love sharing our culinary quests and travel tales, we've embraced our true form as nerds with a love for sharing our adventures.

What's New in 2025?

We're switching things up! Instead of focused single-topic posts, we're moving to a weekly newsletter format where we can share all our adventures, thoughts, and experiences in one place. Since this blog is our passion project alongside our teaching careers, this format lets us better balance sharing our stories while keeping up with life. Don't worry - we'll still do occasional deep-dive posts when something extra special comes along!

What you'll find here:

  • Weekly dispatches about our nerdy adventures
  • Convention chronicles
  • New Orleans explorations
  • Family travel tales
  • Fandom discussions
  • Food discoveries

Find us on:

  • Bluesky
  • Facebook
  • X
  • Instagram
  • YouTube

Want to share your own nerdy story? We love guest bloggers! Drop us a line.

Thanks for stopping by our corner of the internet. Live long and prosper! 🖖
