I'm Jerika from America!

I am a California native, born and raised near San Francisco, but I consider myself a citizen of the world. I've always dreamed of a life of travel, and in 2014, I packed up my bags and began exploring the world. My life has completely changed, and I know that TRAVEL is the best education there is.

I am very sociable and get along with everybody. I believe the PEOPLE I meet make my journeys special, and I love to share travel stories and learn about the lives of people from all over the world.

This summer, I will be in several countries around Europe and would love to meet some amazing locals.

I just had my first Couchsurfing experience this May in Rome, Italy and I loved it and can't wait to have more experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be spending a short time in several destinations in many countries around Europe for summer 2016. I have been all over the world and I can honestly say that the best way to meet a country and a culture is through a local.

I am very sociable and easy to get along with. I love meeting people from all over the globe, and we will have a great time together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Barcelona, I chased down a thief on a bike who stole my phone (and got my phone back)!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday I remind myself that our time is short, and if you have a dream or goal, you must pursue it NOW. So many people TALK about their dreams, but very few people do anything about it. The time is always NOW.
