CURRENT MISSION

To live as far outside the box as humanly possible

ABOUT ME

I've been a musician for as long as I can remember. Got some musical degrees from Delaware, and I'm currently in New Orleans gettin my jam on playing drums and composing (check it out: thinkenstein.vg). Don't know where life's gonna take me next but i'm gonna make durn sure I'm laughin the whole way.

PHILOSOPHY

it could ALWAYS be worse, so dont take yourself or anything else too seriously, get over it, and laugh more.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I learned about CS while researching for my current trek through Europe, and I couldn't be more excited! I've met so many amazing people throughout my travels and every single one has had an immensely positive impact on my life and the way I view the world. I'm looking forward to the new people and experiences CS will bring!

Interessen

to say music is an interest is putting it pretty lightly--its pretty much my whole life. I do other things--i like cooking, reading, laughing at cable news networks, arguing over politics, religion and the season finale of Lost (hated it). But if you like music, play music, listen to music, write music, think about music, or in any way are affected by music, we'll get along just fine. I also love physics.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love talking about music (contemporary, classical, theory, business, whatever) and will do so with anyone who'll listen. I will also happily give drum set, percussion or music theory lessons.
