CURRENT MISSION

I am going to be in Puerto Rico and I want to have an Amazing time!

ABOUT ME

I have been all over the island from Rincon to Yabucoa, Arecibo, Cabo Rojo, Vieques, Culebra, etc. I can say I have seen 90% of the island as well as adventured some of the surrounding islands. I love to try new things and am always up for a new adventure. From zip lining to kayak and Mountain Biking I love enjoying everything Puerto Rico has. I am from Chicago here for sometime for business and love to make the most out of every weekend.

I have been traveling since I was young! I love to have an adventure and always look to see a need, fill a need. Currently im in love with Vieques and Culebra... two islands off Puerto Rico that are a place where time stands still and one can simply be free. I have been to Ireland, Japan, France, most of the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Belize and a lot of the USA. Add me on facebook if you like http://www.facebook.com/brandon.a.mckay

PHILOSOPHY

Karma is everywhere and in everything. Every reaction has a similar or greater reaction so treat others with kindness and respect or don't expect to get any yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

WHen I travel I tend to stay 2-3 months... I never want to leave somewhere with the longing feeling that I left a piece of my heart there.. so I stay and get to know the place! After I have a general idea whats good I like to share the wealth! San Juan Purto Rico does not hold a candle stick to the parts of the island the tourists always miss like Playa Sucia in Cabo Rojo, Driving route 181, Viques and Culebra, THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, WHICH ARE LITERALLY A HOP N SKIP AWAY... so many beautiful things to see and experience

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at Hostels and with friends all over the world. I have never couch surfed with a total stranger however I have met strangers to go adventuring with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a horse through all the southern tip of Ireland " The dingle peninsula " and I have seen a LOT of Japan and had the opportunity to visit a Buddhist monastery that had not had hosted American visitor sense before WW2. I did archeology in Arizona and helped dig up an old hohokom village. Have skii'd and snowboarded everywhere form Aspen to New Hampshire. Have been on a ton of cruises that range from Mexico to Rio all the way to Cazamel, Cancoon, St. Thomas, St. Martin, Private Islands,.. I am the child of avid travelers.

My Bucket List? GHANA- You want to go to Ghana?! Lets plan together! Australia, Madagascar and China are all on my to do before 30 list.

Teach, Learn, Share

When dealing with fellow travelers bragging is not always welcome. People don't care what kind of car you drive or where you live back home... they just want to share in the exp right now... always live in the moment.
