// ME

Hello, I'm Erika.

// CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, to learn new things.

// ABOUT ME

Usually, I am reading something, articles on a phone, pages in a book. Sometimes I play the ukulele. I travel with open eyes and a camera, some of my work can be found at www.erikaly.com if you're curious! The people you surround yourself with are the best teachers and some of the most rewarding experiences come from others. I enjoy good food, company, conversation.

//MOTTOS

Smile often. See the positives. Find a passion. Throw yourself in the deep end, always.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've never couchsurfed before, so I'm new to this. But I hear you are a friendly and welcoming community which I'd love to be a part of.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

// MUSIC

A lot of everything, and always depending on my mood. I grew up listening to house, trance and electronica but the radio is usually playing something indie/alternative. I have developed a taste for jazz. I love some good, solid rock by way of The Doors, Dylan, Springsteen, some new rock by way of the Arctic Monkeys. I've recently gotten into the good ol' 60's and 70s classic rock.

// MOVIES

The favourite movie list changes constantly. At the top of the list right now: Synecdoche, New York., Dark Knight, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Hotel Chevalier as a short for good measure.

// BOOKS

Favourites? Are many. Naturally, Kerouac belongs here. But so do Marquez, Borges. Vonnegut and Burgess. I have been a fan of Warhol's writings too.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Other than good company, an open invitation to visit in my own backyard and a place to stay in Sydney, Australia of course!
