ABOUT ME

Hello world,

My name is Eric. I've travelled a bit, and always had great success with Couchsurfing. Currenty I'm living in New Orleans and am able to host from time to time. It's a great place, centrally located, and I always love to host if I have time. So if you're looking, don't hesitate to ask :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live to express, and I love to express all shades. I love to make people laugh until they cry. I love to share, be kind, to people and to the earth. I try to stay balanced, mix having fun with getting work done, and hopefully making some kind of difference in the short time I have here. I'm always learning, thinking, feeling, and writing about it all. And when I'm not, I love to play (or listen to) music, turn off the mind, and let the feelings come out in song.

教，学，和分享

I teach music (basic piano & guitar). I also teach creative writing, and in the past have taught theater. I have a pretty deep knowledge of contemporary music history, as well as film. Literature, I'm working on it, book by book. I also know and can teach yoga, if one is interested.
