Hi! I'm Erin. I am a very nice, open, inclusive person, with a bubbly personality. Check out my references to back this up! ;)

I love meeting new people, hearing their stories and learning from them. I really enjoy just listening to other people's accents and comparing them to other's around the world as well as my own! I love learning about different cultures than my own, the history of an area, experiencing all that a culture has to offer. I especially love observing and doing what locals do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I currently run a nonprofit that works with adults with autism. This is the most rewarding part of my life. I am all about giving back, and is also why I am on Couchsurfing. I want to give back to those who are so kind to share their homes. I don't make any money being President of the nonprofit I run; I do it because I believe so strongly in its' mission. This is also why I appreciate generous Couchsurfers so much; they understand that some people have limited income, but don't want to let that hold them back from experiencing the world and meeting new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music and movies. I listen to everything, but my latest kick as been getting into all kinds of different Indie bands. I watch all kinds of movies, but am not very good with horror yet. The movies I enjoy the most are those that make me think or are unpredictable. As far as books, it needs to be a book that keeps my interest or grabs my attention, and then I literally can't put it down until I finish it. The Harry Potter series still continues to be an all-time favorite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the opportunity to travel all over the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach you a little bit about my hometown and culture if you'd like that. I also have lots of skills/talents I can share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are kind enough to host me, I will be more than happy to return the favor. I also have cooked for all my hosts so far. Additionally, I would love to teach you some easy sign language if you're interested. I'm just learning and really love it.
