Hi, I'm Erin! I often travel with my cat, Galina, and my husband, Matthew (31M). I'm easy going. I love to try new foods, watch reality TV (lol), and kayak/sail/boat in general. I'm an embryologist by day and do musicals by night

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love to travel on the cheap and meet new people with similar travel goals. I’ve met some really neat people on here and can’t wait to meet more!
Music, Movies, and Books
I like indie rock, pop, low-fi, and whatever Lake Street Dive is. I'm pretty happy to listen to whatever's playing though. Books of late I liked: Stormlight Archives, Mistborn, Olga Dies Dreaming, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (by the same guy who wrote A Man Called Ove), The Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers, Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), ACOTAR, Throne of Glass (currently doing the I also love the McElroy brothers' podcasts, mainly TAZ and MBMBAM. And Handsome Pod.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I make babies by using little robot arms to pick up a single sperm and stab it into an egg.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’m big into birds. If we’re in the Eastern US - I can share my knowledge about them. In the west & abroad, we’d likely be learning together :) I am happy to cook for you and have a bit of experience working with restricted diets (gluten free, keto, anti-inflammation, vegetarian, vegan) for friends and family. I'd love to paint for you as well if you want a little acrylic piece or even a mural in mind if we have the time. I know a fair bit about electric cars and drive a Chevy Bolt. I am very happy to share my knowledge about them. I highly recommend it if electric is feasible in your area! I can play and used to teach beginner ukulele. I also have quite a bit of experience playing flute and could help you out with that (I even have a cheapy flute I'm willing to give away if you're interested). My husband, Matt, and I are intermediate Lindy Hoppers & could do some basic swing dance with you :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
Cooking (and getting the groceries if necessary). Painting, if you have a coke/pizza/cereal box, I will paint you something. I will bring you one of my favorite beers, or a new beer local to your area if you're adventurous. Or a non-alcoholic beverage that seems real tasty, if that's preferred - I love a bubble tea, coffee, soda - anything you like
My Interests
Birding, crafting (sewing, knitting, drawing, painting, etc), musical theater, Lino cutting, Lindy hop
