Hello! I'm Brandon. I'm new to couch surfing but I thought it would be a good way to meet locals in the places I travel to, and to have a more authentic experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and find a more interesting (and affordable!) way to travel.

Interests

I'm new to photography, but I love capturing the beauty of the Northwest. I haven't tried many of the things on my interests list, but they're definitely bucket list items. I think of it as almost more of a wish list.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jack Johnson, the Black Keys, Kaleo, the Glass Animals, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis. I have at least a few favorites from most genres.
My favorite books I've read recently are The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho and The Martian by Andy Weir. I read a lot of nonfiction as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a Buddhist temple in South Korea, played in a waterfall in the Philippine jungle, and hiked all over the PNW.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar or uke, show you the basics of DSLR photography, or show you how to make a mean hollandaise sauce.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm interested in learning about your favorite local spots over some pints of craft brew.
