I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe but moved to England at age 7. I then lived in Manchester, UK until I was 18. Having completed my A Levels and having a deferred place to study Architecture at Newcastle University I left the UK November 2014 to travel the world. Currently in LA after 6 months travelling Australia and NZ. Here for about a week before heading up to San Francisco.
I am a keen photographer, sportsman, artist and passionate about travelling the world - exploring new places and experiencing different cultures.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think meeting up with people all over the world and showing others round the places you live is something that is helpful to both you and the person travelling. I want to make friends all over the world and experience the real sights and sounds that the people living in a place experience - not the bullshit touristy version. If I can show someone the things that make my home city special to me or help them with a place to stay then that's something that I find incredible rewarding.

兴趣

I love hockey and rugby, having played county level in both back home. I am hugely passionate about photography and although studying Architecture at University have a burning desire to follow photography as a career.
I am also artistic, exploring this through painting, drawing and through the photography I take. www.instagram.com/brandonfew
I enjoy a huge range of films, good coffee, cooking great food and exploring the world around. I have worked as a chef in a restaurant, a potwash, a barista in a cafe, paid photography at several events and (slightly less glamorous) 5 years as a newspaper delivery boy.

音乐、电影和书籍

Probably the most difficult of all the questions...
My music love ranges from Bon Iver to the Black Keys, the Arctic Monkeys to Paolo Nutini and even from time to time a bit of Louis Armstrong - who doesn't love a bit of Jazz. It's as vast as you can imagine, from Indie to Contemporary Pop - If it sounds good then I'll listen to it.
Favourite movies include The Shawshank Redemption, Anchorman, FRIENDS, How I Met Your Mother and many more...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Currently I am travelling the world and sharing my photos and stories via a travel blog and other social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I have organised to meet up with professional photographers as I travel, who have been keen to show me round, have a chat and even give me a place to stay.
I've made connections with clothing companies in the UK who have promoted my photography and travel in exchange for me getting shots of their products.
I would love to take photos for a living but we shall see - this adventure is definitely of amazing thing I'm currently doing. Hard work definitely does pay off, to pay for this trip I spent 6 months working 3 jobs, 16 hour days and on very little sleep to help fund a small part of this trip. I find that an achievement in itself.
