My name is Erika, I’m twenty and I live in San Luis Obispo, California. Life here is dreamy! I love many and most things… I have an open mind, a solid feeling of logic and an appreciation for honesty and eccentricities. Traveling turns me on, false fronts and unfounded ideas/opinions turn me off. Globalization excites me/concerns me… I have a deep love for American democracy (while understanding it is not viable to impose our political system upon other cultures) and the idealistic ideology of our founding fathers; I value the First Amendment and a distinct separation of church and state the most.
Brevity is the soul of wit, modesty is a refined quality, compassion is a practice.
I try to lead a passionate, well-rounded, healthy life… I enjoy being single, running, and waking up early to read the news in my plushy bed in my cozy loft. Someday I want a family, a loving husband, a garden and a profession in museum studies.
I began my blog just after I graduated from high school to document my solo travels through Japan for 2 months. Blogging became a lovely hobby and a valuable form of expression that I maintain, and probably always will.

Your day sounds like heaven as I pack and clean out closets listening to the rain. I would certainly skip school for a day of pear picking,sushi, and beach.
Love Mom

Dear Erika, Your eloquent description of the power of love is a testament to your power and insight. And what power and insight. How can you have it so right so young. Well I venture to say you are a generation that will reform the world in ways that we oldsters cannot imagine. Bravo. Always remember too that you are standing on the ancesters shoulders. We are behind you with all our love and devotion my darling. Today is the show. It looks great and Carol’s paintings are so strong, looks like a blockbuster. Love Grandma

sweety pushiii, missing you, where are you now, remember our fews days together in Japan. It had to be that, to meet you there travelling from old Germany. Don’t worry, there are so many unhappy people around, in every place on the face of that planet Earth, where we live. In fact japanese new generation people are more reserved that germans. I also asked Koyuri about why today japanese are so sad. She doesn’t know, and I suppose, they are not lucky with their lives indeed. Thats why we should chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo every day and pray for the young people like you and for the next generation. Will right you several emails….. please take care of you, angels always follow you by your side. Love, Maria
