I’m @eric.drifter on IG find me there. I travel with my camera and I love taking photos of people. I walk the streets and talk to people and take pictures of them or with them. It’s one of my favorite things to do… and I’ve met a lot of great friends doing it. I like meeting people from other countries. Why? I like exploring. I like exploring places, I like exploring other minds. I was born in 1982. I’m from Santa Barbara, California. My first trip was to Laos when I was 18. At 23 I lived in Santiago, Chile for a year (on my own) teaching English. I backpacked China, bike toured New Zealand, and then lived in a little hamlet on the north coast of the Dominican Republic for 2 years. I started an organic avocado and passionfruit farm on the central coast of California. I live in North Oakland (San Francisco Bay Area), with a tropical garden, fire pit, and a jacuzzi. 🪴
