About the host
Hosted by Ravi Daggula
Originally from India, I came to Lafayette to pursue my masters degree at University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I believe that these historic house are a part of our culture and it is our moral responsibility to preserve them for generations to come. The only way I think we can keep these house intact is to run a sustainable business out of them. This si for me one way to give back to the community which provided everything to me.Though I am not originally from Lafayette, Cajun culture has become second nature to me. I’d be happy to help you with suggestions for local places to visit, restaurants, dance halls, and historic sites.
