Hi! I'm Erika and I am from the beautiful state of Oregon in the US. When I'm not out exploring the awesome scenery of the Pacific Northwest, I spend my time traveling as much as time and money permits!

I graduated from Macalester College in 2012 and spent 2013 living and teaching in northern Namibia with WorldTeach. Now, I work as a flight attendant for a major US airline and am based in Seattle, where I live with my boyfriend. I enjoy traveling, hiking and reading on my days off and explore the world one layover at a time while at work. Throughout my life, I've lived in Oregon, Minnesota, Italy, Namibia and Jordan.

I love to write and have kept a blog of my travels since studying in Jordan in 2011. My blog is www.erikastravels.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed a few times. All great experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Madaba, Jordan, I saw a boy wearing a t-Shirt from my very high school in Eugene, Oregon. The t-Shirt was likely donated to a goodwill, repackaged, shipped and sold at the Friday market in Amman. Talk about globalization
