My name is Eric and I am a man of many nouns. I am a Zen-Head, Health-freak, World-traveling Biochemical Pianist.

I live with my Laissez-faire parents and help run the family petsitting business ( <3 ) in the Napa Area and am currently working on playing piano professionally (sure am making use of that Biochemistry B.S....)

If you desire to stay with me, be aware I have a 14 year old sister and my parents also living with me. You will have your own bedroom but as this is a family home, excessive partying is not permitted. Of course you can have a good time but just keep it respectful :)

In my free time I enjoy going on hikes with my own dogs ( 1 Border Collie and 1 Aussie) and going to my weekly Tuesday/Thursday meditation groups, playing piano in the evenings, and being around positive friends. I started playing piano in 2nd grade and continue to play every single day; it is my passion and time stops when I get in the zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet cool new people and locals when I travel to Germany in February. I purposely chose to be in Germany for a whole month instead of the conventional college grad "Eurotrip-in-a-month"because I love learning the German language and I get the sense that I have a direct personality that matches Germans well. I am very direct and try to situations as they are and not as they should be.

I currently live with my parents and am not completely opposed to the idea of having guests, but it is somewhat out of my control. Message me to see my availability.
