ABOUT ME

"Brandon is one of the most competent and responsible people I've ever met in my entire life. Despite the fact that he's been in some ridiculous situations I've always been confident that he'd find his way out no problem. A great addition to any couch surfing house, down to party, down to watch movies, down to go to sleep early, and down to not eat all the fridge in the food." - Cyrus

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in practicing non-violence, empathy, and compassion. Cognitive thinking is my religion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I bring my company and personality to the table. I make lasting friendships and generally leave artwork or poetry wherever I go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite moment with surfers has been when an Australian couple, Alex and Nicole, came to surf our house. Out of the blue a friend and I were invited to go to Indian Beach with the surfers and my housemates Mike and Jaime. We explored the coastline, climbed cliffs, found a small cave, and photographed the sun setting. We laughed, conversed and ate grilled cheese sandwiches, fish and chips, and soup at a local cafe when we left the beach. A totally surreal and amazing day.

I enjoy all sorts of literature but most recently I have read: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and Habibi by Craig Thompson.

My favorite movie is Drive. The last movie I watched was Drive. The next movie I am going to watch, is Drive. The movie I am going to watch after that, is Drive. The one after that? Drive. If you asked me for a movie recommendation, I would have to recommend you Drive. If you asked me what my friend's favorite movie is, I would tell you, Drive. If you haven't seen Drive, with Ryan Gushling, watch it.
