CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying London life, going on a big US trip this summer.

ABOUT ME

Hey,
I'm Erik, a half Danish, half Spanish guy, living in London for four years now and loving it! I'm very friendly, chilled out, obsessed with films (mostly obscure surreal ones though; you have been warned.) Same goes for music and literature; I have a pretty eclectic taste, but I also love things that are so bad they're good.
I do some art of my own too - short stories and drawings which end up on my blog: http://lesseninglessons.tumblr.com/
And you can watch my short film and promo work here: https://vimeo.com/user23394802

I used Couchsurfing in the past to stay with people in Lyon (where I was in the process of moving) and Tokyo (when I went on a big Japan trip two years ago, AMAZING country which I have an ongoing fascination with ...)

At the moment I'm planning a big trip to the US this summer (2016) in the end of May/start of June. Going to finally see New York City, then visit my sister in Phoenix Arizona, then go with her to see San Francisco. Will be looking for people to stay with/hang out with in NY and San Fran!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling, showing people around if they're visiting London

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with the friendliest guy ever in Lyon when I was applying for a job there (and my French was very much at a beginners' level.)
I also stayed with a super friendly American ex pat in Tokyo, who randomly suggested we go to Nikko together (small town/nature reserve) which was beautiful!
