I’m Erika, the writer and creator of Erika’s Travelventures. I’m from the beautiful state of Wyoming, in the U.S.A.

After saving money for two years, I quit my job to travel the world in October, 2017. As of 2020, I’ve visited over 40 countries.

I’m passionate about experiencing new cultures, making friends in different countries, trying new (vegetarian) foods, and finding the best viewpoints and hiking trails around the globe.

Travel blogging since October, 2018

My Top 3 Country Recommendations:

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″]

1. Nepal

Home to the highest mountains in the world, adventure travelers will fall in love with Nepal.

2. Japan

Home to world-class temples, over-the-top cities, and incredible natural scenery, Japan should be a bucket list destination for all travelers.

3. Thailand

The Land of Smiles is the perfect country for beginner backpackers, and has something for everyone!

Other contenders: Myanmar, Georgia, Croatia, Switzerland
