Hi, I'm Erik. I grew up in Minot, North Dakota and just graduated from college there with a bachelor's degree in music. Music is a huge part of my life. I like to sing, play saxophone, and compose. I also like to do outdoor activities such as running, biking, and hiking (sadly, not much good hiking in ND though).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan to do a lot of traveling in the future, and it's nice to meet new people along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I got to meet the tribal leaders of Sudan and talk with them for an entire hour. They were touring the US and stopped at my university. Very eye-opening!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open to learn or experience new things, and I'm also happy to share my own experiences.

If you want to learn anything about music, I could talk for days!
