ABOUT ME

I'm Erik. I love to travel and meet new people whenever I can afford it. Other than that, I like go out, meet new people, run and play frisbee. I love beers from all around the world, and I love trying new food. Some of my favorites are Indian, Ethiopian, Italian, and anything else delicious.

I love adventure! I'm always looking to find things to get out of the house, whether it's hiking or checking out a museum. I love running, (distance, triathalons, relays, marathons) getting outside, going to the lake, playing frisbee, riding bike. When it's freezing outside I enjoy bumming around the house and watching a movie.

I always like finding something to do, whether it's trying something crazy and new or just cooking a meal and relaxing at home.

PHILOSOPHY

Did you plan ahead? Me neither.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting and surfing! It's a great way to meet new people and share stories. I am always taking trips on the spur of the moment, so I am sympathetic to short notice requests, and will always accomodate them if I can!
