Hello my name is Erika and I am not really good at writing bios but here it goes!

I am a 20-year-old Costa Rican that is currently studying Political Science and International Studies at the Unversity of Florida. I have had the opportunity of traveling quite a lot in my 20 years and I'm hoping to add a couple more countries to the list!

Pura Vida!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend told me about couchsurfing and I thought it was a great way to travel and actually get to interact with local people from the place I am visiting. Usually people that are on couchsurfing are very welcoming and interesting and I believe they can enrich your traveling experience in various ways. I also enjoy meeting new people, traveling and talking (a bit too much sometimes) and couchsurfing encompasses all of these things :)

I am fluent in three languages so I am more than willing to practice any of them with potential hosts! I also enjoy discussing current affairs so if you are interested in debating certain topics, ranting about current affairs or just overanalyzing Marvel movies you can definitely count me in.
