Hi Couchsurfers!

My name is Ervin, I am in my mid 20s and I am always looking to travel and meet new and exciting people.

I was the type of person to put school first and hold off on travel and fun until I joined the work force. Now that I've been working full-time for over 4 years, it's time to turn the page and start exploring our beautiful world.

I was born and raised in Chicago and like to call myself a foodie.

I am a fan of all sports, the night life, bar trivia and running/fitness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing sounds like an ideal way to meet the traveler types. Those who are open for interesting dialogue and is open to meeting a new friend.
