CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore, meet new and interesting people, and experience life. I live in Europe for the first time in my life and want to take advantage of the short amount of time and inexpensive flights to areas near me.

ABOUT ME

I am an energetic person, always on the go! I love traveling the world to get a different perspective on life. I try to grow everyday and evolve into a better human being. I am a talker, especially when I am excited! I am very independant and push to make goals I've set happen. I am respectful of others beliefs and things. I have no problem being that ear to talk to and bounce ideas off of. Sometimes I have to make myself take time for me. It is extremely hard to get myself to sit down and write this profile cuz I just want to get out and PLAY!

PHILOSOPHY

The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if:
(1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving,
(2) You're willing to take massive action,
(3) You notice what's working or not, and
(4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS. But all through college all my friends thought I was a professional couchsurfer because my Apartment was far from everyone else and I was always getting invited to different events. I am not the drink driving type, so I would stay at anyones house that was close. We would have so much fun I would end up staying for a couple days at a time. But don't worry, I do leave! LOL

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I have grown up, I am now the person who has an influx of people in and out of my house. One of my friends brought over a new person to our group and said to them, "This house is like our home away from home. Make yourself comfortable and help your self to Ericka's fridge". And even though I haven't found most of my couch surfers thru CS I have a warm, welcoming, and safe pad!

Interests

I am big into outdoor sports! I scuba dive, mountain bike, kayak, hike, camp, ect.. I love the outdoors. But when I am not I am exploring Sicily. This beautiful land that has allowed me to crash here for a couple of years. I also cook a lot. I have a lot of single younger people that live near me and I host holiday parties and small dinners all the time. I love places with music that makes you wanna dance. I'm in to all types...top 40, techno (with voice overlay), salsa, maranga, two-step, swing, and even hip-hop sometimes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
