No Money Fun: Playmaker traveling NYC>New Orleans>Austin>LA.

Hello,
My name is bravochild, (I exist that way consistently online, so you can find out as much about me as you like, easiest being www.bravochild.com). I am an artist, I love all the forms/mediums, but I would give playmaking and experience design as my key focuses.
I have given up the use of money units as a means of exchange, instead trading my art, design and wellness skills for resources instead.
I am currently in America, (for the first time), traveling with my partner, but she was flown to Indonesia to perform at a festival. They flew her back to LA, which is where I need to head now, (via New Orleans and Austin).
Back in Australia I'm part of a vibrant art community and welcome explorers when they land on the red earth down that way. For now I am wondering if any Northerners, (ie. American dwellers), might know of any connections which may help facilitate my movement from east to west coast?
