Hi, my name is Erik. I am first and foremost a father of two beautiful kids. I am also a professional chef that has been in the industry for over 15 years. I was married but am now going through a divorce and figured this is my time to focus on the things I’ve always wanted for myself. One of those things being taking a few months to travel outside of the US and seeing places I’ve never seen and meeting people I’ve never met. And hopefully coming to find myself in a more inspired place in my life and capabilities to see that traveling can be cost-efficient and friendly. I want to get lost in the world of beautiful cities and the people residing there. I want to explore the culture as a local, not as a tourist. And be absorbed in it and truly learn so that I can have a better understanding of the world around me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

As I plan my 3-month travel plans starting in January, I want to be able to connect with people that are local to the cities I visit and see what’s out there. This seemed like a great resource for that.

兴趣

I’m open to anything and everything that’s going to make me better and my language of the world much more in-depth.

• cooking
• movies
• eating out
• adventure travel

音乐、电影和书籍

I love all sorts of music. Not really a genre of music I can’t vibe with. I grew up dancing and being culturally absorbed with various styles. I love action and humor movies. I read A LOT of books. They are the true jewels of a mind being opened. I average anywhere between 2-3 books a week.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

教，学，和分享
