Hello, I am Eri :) Traveling is my biggest passion in life and I hope to share that with others around the world. I generally only like to use CS to meet people to hang out with, so I generally don't need any accomodations. But thanks for offering!!

PS: I prefer not to hang out with male CSers that only have reviews from females, or that don't have any reviews. This is for safety reasons. If that's you, sorry, I think it's best we don't meet up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people from different cultures. When I CS in other countries, it gives me a better chance to see the country like a local would. When I host others, I can do the same for them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every summer I go to a new developing country to volunteer teach computer science to teens. So far I've been to Gaza, Ethiopia, China, Colombia, Brazil, Iran, and Albania! Teaching is a huge passion of mine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with languages, and perhaps software engineering or finding cheap flights (I work on the Google flights team using machine learning to find the best flights deals!). I love learning about new languages and cultures, so anything you have to teach or share with me I would gladly accept.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge about my country and others around the world I have traveled to. Sharing culture
