Hey there, I'm Eric, and I love life! I grew up in Minnesota until I was 18, went to college in Colorado, lived in Kansas for three years, South Korea next for a year and a half, traveled South America for 11 months, now I live in upstate New York.

I believe that life is found when you get out of your comfort zone, so I strive to do that often...even though sometimes I need a nudge from others when I chicken out. I deeply enjoy respectful conversations about faith and what motivates people, and I really appreciate hearing different or new perspectives than my own. Spontaneous adventuring is my jam, especially when it involves traveling to different states (only 1 left to hit all 50!) or countries (26 so far) and seeing unique sights.

Pumped to be on here, and looking forward to meeting some awesome people all over the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
