Description
Hello there!
My name is Erika and I am from Arkansas in the USA.
I have never lived anywhere else but Arkansas, and for as long as I can remember I have hungered to travel the world. I have always been an adventurer and a lover of nature and animals. In 2022, my life changed dramatically and I decided it was time to begin preparing for the trip I have dreamed of my whole life. 2 years later, I booked my one-way ticket and now I am traveling indefinitely across Europe! I began my journey November 3, 2024. It has been magical, beautiful, and filled with joy, grief, and everything in between. I have come to realize that traveling is both a window into numerous worlds, and a mirror that contains many reflections. I am so grateful to be on this trip, and I feel that I am on exactly the path that I need to be.
I enjoy an active lifestyle and my favorite activities are yoga, running, hiking, and biking. I love to be surrounded by nature as much as possible. I love reading, writing, and movies! I am a huge film nerd. I also love animals, I feel a strong connection with them. It brings me joy to care for and spend time with animals!
My main goal in life right now is to travel as extensively as I can, experience and learn as much as I can, and take the experiences I've gained and create something, be it a blog, a book, or through visual media. Who knows, the options are endless! :-)
Nice to meet you all!
