Hello, my name is Erin and I am a 20 year old student from a small town in Oregon. I am a very upbeat person who enjoys surrounding myself with likeminded, positive people. I love spending time with people and making new connections - we all have so much to learn from each other! I love yoga and focus on eating an organic diet. I am a very open minded person and am always up for adventure :) The key to happiness is to not take anything too seriously, I am a goofball and love to laugh. Experiencing new cultures and getting out of your comfort zone is best

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because I love the idea of people sharing their homes with complete strangers. These days I believe that people are too closed off from each other. In a day where people are just a few clicks away you would think we would be more connected and close knit, but I think the opposite has happened. The most amazing experiences and opportunities I've had have come from being open and connecting with people. When I travel I like to do as the locals do, so the opportunity to get to stay with someone who knows the area and things to do is an amazing one. Although I am young I love connecting with people no matter the age.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wake up every morning

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of knowledge of medicinal herbs and nutrition. I would love to help someone make healthier lifestyle choices or focus on a certain aspect of their life that they'd like to change. I have worked in several restaurants that focus on raw food/organic whole food... so I know how to make meals that taste good and are good for you :)
Would love to learn anything, one can never have too many skills. I want to be around positive and aware people who want to make the world a better place.
There is so much you can learn when you just sit back and observe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to help you with anything you need... errands, cooking, cleaning, childcare etc... I can also help you with any health problems you have as I am studying in that area :)
