Hello! My name is Arika. I'm a student at Marshall University. I love meeting new people and making new friends. My friends and I are in a jam band and we like to play, listen and dance to music religiously. I'm in a serious relationship with my boyfriend, Colten, who also attends Marshall. I have an orange cat named Oscar, he's the sweetest bub. I love elephants, which is evident in my home decor. I love traveling and hearing of other people's travels and experiences. I'm super friendly and outgoing. If you're just looking for a place to crash or you want to experience Huntington for all it's worth, I'd love to have you! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a lot for my age, but some of my favorite experiences were the trips I took to New Orleans to help restore and rebuild after the hurricane. You meet the most amazing people who are the most grateful and appreciative for you time and kindness. Doing good makes you feel good :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have studied in voice lessons (singing) for 8 years and continue to mature and shape my voice. I also give lessons now with the knowledge I have accumulated over the years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a house with 3 bedrooms and two baths. There is a guest room with a twin sized bed in it that is open for a couch surfer. I also have a couch and two floor beds for surfers. I've been in Huntington for 4 years so I know the ropes and can help recommend restaurants, hangouts, hiking trails and whatnot.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, France, Mexico, Netherlands
