CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people and see interesting things.

ABOUT ME

Some say I am unpredictable. I like to think I am spontaneous. Some say I am absent-minded. I like to think I am selectively oblivious. Some say I am talkative. I like to think I am a conversationalist. Some say I refuse to settle. I like to think I am nomadic.
I am on a everlasting search for good times, good vibes and good people. In my experience, traveling is the best way to go about this.

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on the questions, not the answers.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had some great experiences staying with locals in several different countries and I have shown a few travelers around my hometown. Now I am a couchsurfing addict.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a few hosts and attended a few events.

兴趣

I like to play my martin backpacker guitar in my spare time. I bring it everywhere I go. I'm also getting into travel photography and writing ( www.flickr.com/bradenford ). When I am back in Canada I spend a lot of time making music or doing graphic work on the computer. I am also interested in politics and economics but typically don't discuss them with people unless they bring it up. I like watching indie movies and hitting the bars on the weekends with some friends. In the three years since I graduated I have been living and traveling throughout East Asia.

教，学，和分享

I travel with a guitar and would happy to jam with a fellow musician or teach a beginner a few chords. I am also open to language exchange if you are a mandarin speaker interested in practicing English.
