Hello, Hola, Annyeong! My name is Erica and I am from California with family roots in South Korea. One of my favorite things to do is travel and I’ve found that couchsurfing enhances the wonders of travel even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect, exchange stories, share language, teach culture, spread kindness, clink many beer bottles together and make the world a little smaller!

Interests

I love being active and my favorite things to do are running, yoga and rock climbing. I am currently learning Muay Thai. I like watching crime shows or anything to do with lawyers. (Most) always down to talk about politics and current events. VOX is probably my favorite channel on YouTube- they have the best and most interesting micro documentaries!! I am also a great cook and love spending my time in the kitchen trying/creating new recipes. Eating whole foods is extremely important to me and I always do my best to maintain a healthy lifestyle so I can be my mental & physical best.
