Aloha I am Brandon. I’m definitely a quiet guy who mostly keeps to himself; unless I’m comfortable with you. I am quiet, respectful, friendly, a decent cook, a giver (in the respect that if you need or want anything) if I have it I’ll give it to you or I’ll try to find it. 1 of my daily goals is to receive one smile; so if I can make you smile then mission accomplished. I’m a thinker with odd hobbies such as numismatics- buying and selling coins. Don’t take my silence as not wanting to talk or anything of the sort. I love meeting and connecting with new people but I’ve also been too trusting at times and misreading things. So my best advice is to proceed as to never make assumptions. Wondering something/got a question? Ask! Worst aI could say is no. Good chance it’s something I like or like to do and had you not asked we would have missed the opportunity to see the moon, Jupiter and Saturn align and show in the perfect stargazing night sky.

And to the things I wonder- Are you fun? Or quiet? Are you loud perhaps? Friendly? Overly friendly? Not friendly? Do you perhaps teach yoga and could teach me a morning routine so I can be healthier and more bendy; in general. Definitely don’t want to get old and eventually unable to tie my own shoe laces. These are the things I wonder?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I was in band most of my educational life so there’s that. Including symphonic w/e, jazz, drumline center bass of 5. Other than that I sing, a lot (if I’m comfortable) it’s my meditation. Movies, yes please. Books come and go, the last book era of my life was Dan Brown but that was years ago

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To always bring a gift “omiyage” (ohh-me-yah-gay) to the places I’ve visited as a showing and representation of Aloha; thus spreading Aloha around the world

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make money buying and selling coins and “the do’s and don’t’s when in Hawaii. I really want to learn a morning yoga routine and I find sociology and how people communicate verbally and non-verbally really interesting ask me about it! I’m big on sharing whatever I have with you. With my friends they know if I’m down to my last smoke I’ll deuce it with you. I don’t smoke anymore though; cigarettes.
