What’s up? My names Ercoli, I’m 22 years old and looking to take a bite out of life. (Hablo español asi, pero es un poco dificil para mi) Originally I’m from the United States, but I’m currently living in Santo Domingo, in La Zona Colonial. I’d love to meet some locals, or some fellow ex-pats living in the area, so feel free to hit me up! I’m also looking to tutor some English on the side, so if you or a friend needs some lessons, please feel to reach out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last summer, I was lucky enough to take a great trip across the US with my best friend. We primarily used Couchsurf for lodging, and I was shocked to see how friendly and inviting everyone was! That made me want to join this amazing community of travelers myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to teach English! If you’re interested, feel free to reach out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d be perfectly willing to pitch in around the house (do dishes, take out the trash, etc.) and I am receptive to anything else a host might need! When in doubt, just ask me if I’d be willing to do something for you, but the answer is probably yes.
