ABOUT ME

Good friends call me D. I'm 26 and originally from upstate New York. I was most recently living in Jamaica as a Peace Corps Volunteer but am now living in New Orleans looking for non-profit work. I graduated with a degree in Environmental Studies and Cultural Anthropology. I am friendly, laid back and enjoy meeting new people, traveling and live music.

"I wondered what the spirit of the mountain was thinking, and I looked up and saw jackpines in the moon, and saw ghosts of old miners, and wondered about it. In the whole eastern dark wall of the divide was the great western slope, and the big plateau that went to Steamboat Springs, and dropped, and led you to the western Colorado desert and the Utah desert; all in darkness now as we fumed and screamed in our mountain nook, mad drunken Americans in the mighty land. We were on the roof of America now, and all we could do was yell." -Jack Kerouac, On The Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first moved to NOLA I didn't have an apartment, a car or even anyone to crash with. I couchsurfed for 2 days with an awesome Engineer here, who went above and beyond all couch surfing duties to not only offer me a place to stay while I searched for an apartment, but also drove me around helping me get my electricity turned on, sign leases, etc. I am now wanting to return the favor by opening up my humble pad to travellers/people moving here.
