Hello there! My name is Erica and I am an adventurer, a foodie, and a lover of all things outdoors! I love experiencing new cultures and exploring the outdoors. When not teaching English, you can find me hiking, riding my bike, playing ultimate frisbee, traveling, cooking up some vegetarian meals, or dancing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing so I am excited to be a part of and get to know the community! While based in Logroño as an auxiliar de conversacion for the year, I want to get to know as much of Spain as I can. I love the prospect of getting to know the country from the locals, as I find that that is the only way to truly experience a place. I am in the process of learning Spanish and would love the opportunity to practice and improve, as well as share my knowledge of English if you want!
