***UPDATE FEBRUARY 2024***
I’m open to hosting most days of the week. I may not always be able to accommodate last minute requests, but feel free to message me and we can always try to work something out! Schedule to be updated regularly. 🙂

Hey there! I’m Brandon, an registered nurse living here in Astoria, Oregon. 👨🏻‍⚕️

I have a never ending love for traveling, meeting new people and living in the moment. “Travel while you’re young and able. Experiences are worth far more than money ever will be.” I live in my tiny home (a converted shuttle bus), and love having friends over along with cool, trustworthy people looking for a place to stay here in picturesque Astoria.

I’ve surfed abroad as a young naïve soul in search of adventure; now I’m trying to give back to others by offering the same 🙂

Worth reiterating that my tiny home is a shuttle bus, so space and amenities are a bit limited (I’m unable to offer a shower at this time, but my gym offers guest passes if needed). There is some access to a kitchen, bathroom, etc. if needed though.

The ideal surfer would:
-have some Couchsurfing history/reviews.
- be someone who’s friendly and outgoing.
- be okay with sleeping on a pull-out mattress from an actual couch (Couchsurfing at its finest!) I have my own separate bed in my bedroom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet new people of all types from all over. I myself have also been to my fair share of states and countries, so I’m all for having folks of all forms and perspectives over.

Interests

Exploring. Storytelling, anything. Passing down and gaining knowledge and wisdom regardless. Whether you traveled to 100+ countries or never left ours, we all have our story to share.

I love Astoria - so far I’ve given every surfer I’ve hosted a little tour of this wonderful town (totally optional ofc).

I love nature and local craft beer. This town has a lot of that to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a shuttle bus in 2017 that I’ve converted into my future tiny home! Life will be a road trip 🚐

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy giving surfers the local feel of the north coast if they’re open to it (and if I have the time). That may include anything such as: hikes, beer crawls, hanging out with nursing friends, beach bonfires, secret viewpoints, etc. whatever you fancy, really.
