CURRENT MISSION

I am looking forward to meeting new interesting people to understand their perspective on the world and life, consequently refining my own.

ABOUT ME

My name is Erik, I am a 23 year old from Los Altos, California, which is in the Silicon Valley. I have spent time at two universities. Syracuse University, in New York, as well as Pepperdine University, in Malibu. I am a fun loving realist who is looking for real/interesting people to connect with. I love sports as well as partying and having a good time. So if you are down with the same hopefully I'll be meeting you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that reality is easily warped by the circumstances of one's common surroundings, which is where I find value in traveling and looking at life from different angles. I also believe in the realization of self through relationships with others.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been interacting with the most amazing people through my European travels and hope to be able to return the same hospitality to others when I get home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and gotten drinks with people throughout Europe and it's been absolutely great!

兴趣

I am very interested in sports, traveling, and experiencing all that I can! I enjoy the American pastimes of football and basketball and over the past couple of years have started to develop an appreciation for European futbol. I love the outdoors and am most at peace above 10,000 ft. without a trail. If you are interested in backpacking I can provide information about many interesting treks in the Sierras.

音乐、电影和书籍

My music taste is diverse, here's a small taste: Radiohead, Broken Social Scene, Elliot Smith, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, RATM, Oasis, Techno, Good gangster rap, funky 80's jams, I could go on forever...

Movies: This list could be extensive as well, however for now I will state it briefly. I like movies that show different segments of society that I was not brought up around (New Jack City, Snatch, Ghostdog are some examples) I also love 'B' movies and find their low budget presentation amusing and entertaining. I am not opposed to mainstream flicks either and enjoy the classics.
