Hi everyone, my name is Erica. I am a 19 year old student from the US that is currently studying abroad here in Barcelona! I am an English major and a Spanish minor-- I'm here to studying Spanish and trying to improve my proficiency in the language. I love the humanities-- reading and writing are some of my favorite things in the world.

I love to meet new people and make friends. I find it so interesting when I get to hear about other peoples' experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I am new to this country and I would love to meet new people! I'd also like to try and improve my Spanish while I am here :)
