My name is Eriche! I’m from the US, and I’m currently staying in Spain as an au pair! I travel by immersing myself in culture, eating good food, going to as many places in a city as possible, and taking photos of everything! I love checking off countries and places I've been to (it makes me feel productive with my life haha). I also love leaving a place with good memories where I look back and feel like I left a part of my soul there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will only be in Europe for the summer! I'm not always social, but when I feel like it, I'm super talkative and love meeting new and interesting people! Listening to stories of the lives of others, especially those who come from a completely different background, is an amazing way to truly learn, grow, be humble, ground yourself, and feed your soul. Kindess and genuinity is some of a person's best features! But please don't be creepy; it is really an off-switch with people you don't know!! I really just want to meet different people, exchange cultures, discuss interesting topics, learn, and nothing else!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I can like all types, depending on what period of life I'm in or what emotion I'm feeling. I’ve also been pretty into old 70's-90's hit songs!

Movies
I've been recently interested in Marvel and superhero movies like the rest of the world!

Books
I love dystopian novels because they take me into worlds and adventures that don't exist but seem so real. I also love Psychology books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking to Havasupai Falls! (The picture with the waterfall on my profile)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English, about America, and a couple of interesting Astronomy facts!
I‘d like to learn Spanish, what choices brought you into the point of life you are in now, and the best parts of your city/town!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve lived in four different places throughout my life. I’ve traveled since I was a baby. I’d love to share my experiences, my energy, my travels, and a whole new perspective along with a smile and hopefully a few laughs!
