I have been called so many names by so many people around the world as you will see in my references. By all means, you may call me by my first name, Brandon, or my middle name, Chris(topher). I am a 35-year-old Brooklyn, NY native, born and raised.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I've traditionally been able to host in my home, but during this pandemic...and for the foreseeable future, I have to scale that bit quite a bit. A lot has changed since the beginning of 2020 and I hope you all can understand. I love to meet new people and I'd love to show you around the 5 boroughs (maybe not Staten Island though lol) if time permits. I think you'd have a great time. I love interesting conversations with people. I also love reaching out to surfers that are already in town. So even if you are already here and have a host, don't hesitate to contact me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I'd like to think that I'm a pretty seasoned couch surfer. There are still many countries and cities on my list to visit. I have had mostly good experiences. The bad ones...well I'll share those stories with my future guests. :P

Interests

I LOVE LEARNING LANGUAGES !!! I've fallen off quite a bit with my studies, but I'm hoping to get back to it pretty soon. Wishful thinking maybe, but I am quite a good learner.

Snowboarding !!!! I love wintertime, and snowboarding is the best part. I also enjoy reading, playing the piano, and studying. Yes, studying lol.

Fitness!!! As a group fitness trainer, I love being able to train together with friends. Maybe we could catch a class together!

Xavier Naidoo has opened my eyes to German RnB !!!

Halil Sezai has opened my eyes to Turkish music !!! I wanna learn to play the ud. -_-

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm, Well, I guess I can teach someone how to snowboard. I am also an English teacher, so if someone needs help with that it would be just fine. ^^ I want to learn some tricks on my board. Yes I have a one track mind when it comes to boarding lol. We can share my oreos....but you only get 2. lol
