Brian's incredible life
Meet Brian. He's one of those people whose life is full of incredible events – like the time he got on a bus to college one morning and Justin Bieber was the driver! Or the time he went to Paris and climbed all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower because he couldn't afford a ticket. Or the time… hmm, perhaps Brian's just a liar…

To do
