Hey there. My name is Erick. I hope that through this I will be able to find nice people all over the world to meet with and hear their stories. I am a Mexican/American of Native heritage, and I practice the Mexica (Aztec) tradition. I'm an artist in a couple of different senses (singing, playing guitar, acting, dancing, wood working, painting, etc.) so I'm a sucker for anything in those categories. I am also a carpenter by trade, so if ya need some help don’t hesitate to let me know!

I am currently traveling with the mission of scattering my friend’s ashes in places where he wanted to be. I love camping and I do so in my trusty 4x4 truck: Tesoro. I look for the light in every person I meet and I hope you can see that I try to arrive at every place in a good way.

My philosophy is to pay it forward.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

This time around, to support the journey of getting my friends ashes to their destination and getting back home to Texas.

But deeper than that, to connect with other wandering or curious spirits and make life long friendships in this living journey.
