Hi there, I'm Brandi! I just graduated with my 4 year degree in Photography back in March so I decided to treat myself with a little trip! And by little I mean 2 month long, spanning 3 continents and around 20 different countries. I'll be traveling between August 16th and October 15th. A few things that I absolutely love are: nature, animals (especially dogs), photography, and of course traveling. I truly love experiencing new cultures and places I've never been before. I'm a very laid back person and if I have the pleasure of staying with you I most likely won't hangout too much, I'll probably be out most of the day enjoying what your city has to offer! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I hosted the most pleasant guy from the U.K. and he had me convinced that this is the way to go! It makes it a lot easier to get insight on the best places to go from asking the locals I'll be staying with. Plus I rather put the money towards visiting a new country rather than spending a fortune on hotels every night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things that I have done definitely has to be snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia before the reef was classified as 'dead'. It's saddens me that we couldn't save the amazing reef before it was too late, but I have heard of studies that labs are doing to try and bring it back, so there is hope!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm particularly knowledgeable about Canon cameras along with a fair amount of the Adobe products including, Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, Premiere, and Dreamweaver. I'd love to teach you about photography while I journey though your town. 📸🎞📽

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge about photography and photo editing software along with the beautiful sights that are a must see if you ever come to the US. I have hundreds of suggestions that definitely cannot be missed.
