Hi!

My name is Brendan, I'm a man who knows one of the greatest gifts of life is human connection. I love meeting new people, travel, and enjoying the richness of this world - from the big things to the smallest things. I currently work for the local symphony.

I am passionate about movement, improv, ceramics, meditation, mythology, dirt and anything that can go in it. Up for discussing life as a human, philosophy, food, travel, couch surfing, whatever feels real for the moment.

I'm open to meeting all types, swapping stories, hearing what it’s like wherever you are from!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For adventure! For connection, to share in the experience of exploration.
To meet people, to travel on the cheap, and to meet travelers who might need a warm place to nest up for a night or two.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm really into Hiyao Miyazaki/studio Ghibli movies.

I recently finished reading Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Cliff notes: don't become a bug.

Music: Miles Davis and things like 'em, classic electronic/synth stuffs, americana, heavy metal, modest mouse, just about any genre. Very much interested in what others are into these days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I packed up all my valuables, sold all the other stuff, and left everything I knew to explore the open road. I wound up in the high desert as a professional potter and fell in love with the local vibe.

Before that I spent a summer on a strawberry farm and got sick from eating questionable strawberries.
