Hi, I'm Erin! I often travel with my cat, Galina, and my boyfriend (29m), Matthew. I'm easy going. I love to try new foods, watch garbage TV, and kayak/sail/boat in general. I'm an embryologist by day and do musicals by night

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel on the cheap and meet new people. I hope to have a place to host people someday soon to return the favor :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie rock, pop, low-fi, and whatever Lake Street Dive is. I'm pretty happy to listen to whatever's playing though.

Books of late I liked: Stormlight Archives (up through book 4), Mistborn (book 1 so far), Olga Dies Dreaming, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (by the same guy who wrote A Man Called Ove), The Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers, Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary)

I also love the McElroy brothers' podcasts, mainly TAZ and MBMBAM.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I make babies by using little robot arms to pick up a single sperm and stab it into an egg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair bit about electric cars and drive a Chevy Bolt. I am very happy to share my knowledge about them. I highly recommend it if electric is feasible in your area!

I can play and used to teach beginner ukulele. I also have quite a bit of experience playing flute and could help you out with that (I even have a cheapy flute I'm willing to give away if you're interested).

I am happy to cook for you and have a bit of experience working with restricted diets (gluten free, keto, anti-inflammation, vegetarian, vegan) for friends and family.

I'd love to paint for you as well if you want a little acrylic piece or even a mural in mind if we have the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking (and getting the groceries if necessary).
Painting, if you have a coke/pizza/cereal box, I will paint you something.
I will bring you one of my favorite beers, or a new beer local to your area if you're adventurous. Or a non-alcoholic beverage that seems real tasty, if that's preferred - I'm obsessed with mocktail
