Hey!

I'm Erika. I'm from Indiana but I've been living and working in Italy for the last few years. I taught English at an Italian high school in a little city in Lombardy, but now I teach at a private English school in Milano.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a great way to travel and meet new people! Or so I've heard. :) I'm eager to try it for the first time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving from Chicago to a little town in Lombardy, Crema (Cream) was quite a change and risk but it was definitely an amazing decision.
