Hello, my name is Erick. When I can spare the time, I go traveling abroad around the world because I enjoy learning about different cultures and meeting people. Anything that has to do with exploring in general is something that I'd love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore new cultures and to meet different people. I like CS because it offers a different perspective to visiting a place; a local's perspective. Something hostels or hotels don't really offer. I'm all about seeing the sights but I also want to interact with the people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I know how to cook minute rice in 57 seconds.

Learn:
History, culture, and languages are what I'm usually keen on.

Share:
When I'm abroad, I don't have much materials to distribute. However, I do have an abundance of stories to share. Just pick a country and I got a story.
When I'm hosting or at home, I can share my food, culture, and history.
