My name is Erika! I grew up in Calgary, and moved to Vancouver for University where I did a dual degree in Mathematics and English literature. Graduated in May, and am now traveling with my friend Kristina until around Christmas time.

I am passionate about music and art, I love meeting new people, and I have a thirst for adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been traveling for a while, and want to try getting a more local experience in places. Also excited to host other travelers when I'm back home, as I love meeting people and hearing their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Scotland for four months while on exchange with my university, and I hitchhiked from Edinburgh to Paris in 29 hours. It was an incredible (and at times nerve wracking) experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and piano and sing, so I love to share music with people. I also can teach you all about complex mathematics if you're interested (haha)
