I'm a native New Yorker turned expat, currently living in Berlin. I'm a freelance web designer, cat lover, world traveler, and larper. I love meeting new people and sharing my adventures and hobbies with others! I have a blog, though I really need to update it more often. You can find it at http://ericaexplores.com, and all my other social media profiles are linked there as well.

I'm currently in the process of moving, so unfortunately I cannot host anyone right now. However! I will be all settled into my new place by October (it's taking a few months because I have to buy furniture!) and will be ready to start accepting guests then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled to over 18 countries and I am the kind of traveler who likes to live as much like a local as I can while visiting. I've previously been focused on staying in Airbnbs with hosts ( \you can check out my profile with testimonials there: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/1723818) but I've always wanted to try couch surfing instead.

I'm doing a trip in August and September on a super-tight budget, so I wanted to try out couchsurfing for the first time ever! I'm really excited about it. I'm spending a total of 33 days in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland.

I'm also looking forward to being able to offer my couch to travelers starting in October.
