6 Things To Do When You’re Feeling Homesick For Louisiana

The holidays are a tough time to be away from your home state. If you're feeling homesick for Louisiana, we've got some quick remedies you can try to bring a little Louisiana to you. Here are 6 things you can do when you're feeling homesick for Louisiana:

1. Throw some holy trinity in a pot just for the smell.

You know that smell. Smells like childhood.

2. Since you’re cooking, use that trinity to make your favorite Louisiana dish.

Étouffée, gumbo, jambalaya… whatever you’re in the mood for.

3. Listen to some Jazz, Zydeco, or Swamp Pop.

Have a little fais do do while you cook your favorite meal.

4. Go to a body of water.

If you grew up in Louisiana, you most likely spent a lot of time around the water. Head to a local lake, river, or an ocean if you’re costal. Just being around the water can help ease homesickness.

5. Dress in your favorite LA gear.

Whether that’s a jersey, a shirt with a Louisiana saying, or your favorite fleur de lis earrings.
