I’m Erika, put ‘er there!
I love dandelions, cupcakes & traveling. I am a dirty vagabond, notorious for my inability to keep my feet planted in one place for too long. That’s just the inevitable spontaneity in me. My first big leap of faith was my move was to Arizona in August of 2007. I knew no one, and from a far everything and everyone seemed so different. Different from me, and different from everything I had been used to. Phoenix is just another place somewhere in the world on my journey to whatever destination my heart sees fit. Maybe it’s a lot like your world, maybe it’s nothing like it. If you find yourself staring from a far, look closer. You might see someone just like you. For me, that person was Natalie.
I spend majority of my life inside the Solana Beach public library where I usually feel more at home than my own apartment. I enjoy writing research papers. Yappp. For fun. The most recent being on Jack Kevorkian, the possible destruction of the Earth via Yellow Stone National Park and Neo-Liberal Reforms and currency inflation in Latin America, more specifically Argentina. It’s more thrilling than it sounds, I promise! Aside from geeky past times, I like to nerd out reading, writing, painting, drawing, and slowly working my way back into photography as my funds allow it. I enjoy any and all sports that end in the word ‘board.’ Outside of that, soccer and competitive swimming are about the only other sports I participate in. If you hear me called athletic in just about anything else it’s more than likely just a combination of the words ‘athlete’ and ‘pathetic’
