CURRENT MISSION

Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, 'Till I find my dream.

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Erika and I'm an artist working mostly with photography, and sometimes performance and music as well. I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my roommate, boyfriend, and 2 kitties. I love making rainbows wherever I go, and always carry a prism with me for just that. Music is a huge force in my life and it takes me many places in the world. My taste falls on the spectrum anywhere from Nu-disco, to psych-rock, to funk/soul, to classical. Recently I have been working as a medical photographer/videographer.

PHILOSOPHY

“ WE ARE MADE OF STAR STUFF. Acknowledge and revere the infinite majesty of the universe, for we are wrought of the very fabric of the cosmos. Denial of the interconnectedness of all existence is what has caused humanity to lose sight of the Godliness within ALL things, particularly ourselves, our fellow life forms with whom we share this planet, as well as the very Earth itself.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It has been a fantastic way to travel and meet people along the way. Every experience has been unique and full of great insight.
