Hi there! I'm Erin. I'm an artist, an educator, and a puppy parent. I love traveling, painting, writing, backpacking. I have a mellow personality, but love meeting and learning about people.

My pup's name is Pippin. He's about two years old. He's an energetic corgi mix and is well trained. Can be tense when first introduced to other dogs, but with proper introductions he's fine. About 30 pounds. Snuggle bug. He and I go everywhere together :)

PS: I'm queer and transmasculine. I go by "they/them" pronouns (That's Erin. They're from California). If you're not sure what that's about, or want to know more about transgender people, please ask away!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a roadtrip and looking for places to stay/people to meet! Starting in California. I've been to Nevada and Utah (this may be outdated by the time you read this). Now I'm on to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon. I'm mostly camping and backpacking in national forests. But I'm interested in meeting folks and showering every once in a while! :P
