Hello World! My name is Erica and I'm about to embark on the journey of my life. Since I was very young I have had a desire to travel. As long I could remember I have always dreamed of never settling down. I would love to live in and travel to as many cities as I can in my lifetime. I just turned 31 and it's time. I recently adopted a rescue husky named Lokua. We have been together for four months and we have definitely become best friends:-) I always thought I'd wait for the right companion to come my way to start my journey, I just never expected it would be a furry friend with paws. Anyway, we are about to head to the west coast stopping in Portland first. So we are looking for a pet friendly place to stay and well as meet like minded people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a dream to visit and live in as many places and countries as I can in my lifetime. I would love to share my journeys with the world, either through writing, blogging ,or vlogging in the future as I learn more about myself and the world around me. I would love to find the right connections in my life. I have always felt that will find my tribe if I travel!
