Hey all, my name is Erin. I'm a queer, curious, conscientious kid from the Pacific Northwest with an affinity for all things adrenaline inducing/ adventureful. On the Meyer's-Briggs, I'm an ENFP- with the enneagram, my number is a 7. Currently, I work for an immigrant and refugee shelter in East Austin. I like adventuring, reading horoscopes, sampling haribo gummy products, and talking existence over duty-free whiskey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I've had a profile for the past few years, I've never been active in the couch surfing community. I was in school and didn't have much time to travel. I like the idea of meeting like-minded travelers from all across the globe.

Interests

Camping, hiking, skimboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, slack lining, basketball, soccer, astrology, candy tasting, whiskey, wine, Buddhism, meditating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- anything with heart-gripping lyrics
All time favorite movie- Remember the Titans
Books- currently, I'm reading "All About Love" by bell hooks and Pema Chodron's "practicing Peace." But the award for best book of all time would have to go to JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can touch my tongue to my nose.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like practicing human cartography, that is, I like using honest, intense engagement as a means to draw someone's personal life map (figuratively speaking). I like knowing what people are about and where they plan to go. You can learn a lot from listening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Belly-laughs. Stories. Enthusiasm.
