I'm Erica and I'm in love with the world.
I love being around people, and making new friendships. I'm sort of erratic and unorganized but the universe somehow works everything out for me, in some way or another.
I'm studying political science and international studies, at first in Nebraska in the USA but I am in the process of transferring to a university in the Netherlands.
I honestly don't know what else to say about myself except that I really really love dogs and I'm writing this while on a bus.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

to grow as a person to become more loving and accepting of everyone through every experience. That is what I believe the beauty of travel is, that if you wander with an open mind, you will become a better person for it.

I'm embarrassingly bad with words so here are some quotes that I love:

"Absorb the intricacies of other people, other languages, other lands, other cultures, and most of all yourself." --job monkey.com lol
“Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s lifetime.” – Mark Twain

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach you about Guatemalan and Hispanic culture, and Nebraska, which is a pretty rural boring place.
I would love to learn about anything you're passionate about! I want to learn about different cultures and lifestyles and ideas and opinions
I can share my ideas of the world, experiences, etc
And I would love to hear about yours as well
