Kieran

Kieran (YouTube: @kieranbrowntravel) is a fellow travel creator and recurring companion on Harry’s harder trips. Harry leans on him as a walking encyclopedia — his “human ChatGPT” — and teases him relentlessly: in Papua New Guinea Kieran lost his passport and wallet in Port Moresby; in Eritrea he turned up at the airport unannounced, “here for the pizza”; in Burkina Faso Harry “found the only other white man in Ouagadougou” and gave him a lift.

Appears in

• I Joined a Tribe in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 — joins the tribal visits in the highlands.
• Tourists Don’t Visit this Secretive African Dictatorship 🇪🇷 — three days in Asmara, Eritrea.
• I Ignored Western Media and Went to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 — joins the road trip to the gold mine and Tiébélé.
• The Worlds Most Unlivable Megacity That Still Works 🇵🇰 — arrives late in the video, in a suit, for the Karachi subscriber meet-up.
• Things Got Out of Hand at Rio Carnival 🇧🇷 — briefly, in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival, and gone before the evening. Harry’s send-off is affectionate and merciless.
• Attacked and Arrested in Cameroon’s Deadly Protests 🇨🇲 — by some distance the worst day either of them has had on camera. Separated from Harry in a market crowd in Douala, charged at with a knife, chased for half a mile with a live chicken thrown at him, then arrested outside the police station he ran to for safety and accused of espionage — ten years or $17,000. Eleven hours in a cell, water and no food. He tells the story himself the next morning and spends most of it defending Cameroon.
• The Side of Fiji The Media Won’t Show You 🇫🇯 — the dissenting opinion. Asked for a brutally honest verdict on Suva, he gives one considerably harsher than Harry’s, and the two of them spend the rest of the afternoon drinking kava anyway.
• 48 hours in Lesotho - the World’s Strangest Country 🇱🇸 — one of the three in Lesotho. He is woken twice by Harry’s pillow falling off the top bunk, declares the practice abseil easy by the end, and goes quiet at the top of the 204-metre one — then does it, roped to Harry.
• Visiting the World’s Fattest Country That Went Bankrupt 🇳🇷 — two days on Nauru, riding a rented bike around an entire country in a single loop.
• The Least Visited Country in the World 🇹🇻 — three days in Tuvalu, including his first go on a semi-automatic motorbike.
• I Visited the World’s Newest Country (Coming Soon: Bougainville) — Bougainville with nothing booked, and he is ill for most of it. He still walks into the jungle for the crash site, argues the other side of the “is it ready to be a country” question at the Panguna mine, and delivers the verdict the video needs on the Arawa pizza — measured, inevitably, against the pizza on Nauru.
• Inside Saudi Arabia’s Billion Dollar Future City 🇸🇦 — run into by accident in the street in Jeddah rather than arranged, already wearing an Emirati thobe. He carries the one section Harry hands over entirely: asked what it is like to be gay in Saudi Arabia, Harry says he doesn’t know and lets Kieran answer for himself.
