About Erik R
Erik Trinidad had already set foot on all seven continents before he backpacked around the world for sixteen months, using tattered Lonely Planet Shoestring guides to help find his way to hostels and places of interest. He's now a freelance travel/food lifestyle writer and video creator whose work has appeared in National Geographic, Saveur, and AFAR. His collected work is at ErikTrinidad.com and you can follow him on Instagram.
