Hi, my name is Ben. I’m a graduate student currently on a from non-profit and non-government organization work in the humanitarian sector. I have a keen interest for human mobility and intercultural activities. Right now, I am exploring and developing this concept I call “backpack diplomacy”. ✌️😄

I’m a Libra-ENTP(A) who loves 🐱🧊☕️🧋🏊🥊🌻✈️🏕🌌🎥📺

…and most importantly, I am used to couches which is why I’m the perfect couchsurfer. ✌️😄

PS: I’m fully vaccinated with J&J with a Moderna and Pfyzer boosters

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making the world playground

I have always been into culture and travel. I love meeting people and celebrating life and diversity. In addition, I want to make traveling on tight budget more possible, as we all do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ know for having a warm, respectful and bright personality. I am culturally sensitive and can flexibly socialize in different ambiances.

Moving around like running, boxing, calisthenics, swimming, yoga and even surfing are some of my favorite physical activities. If you like these activities, we already have things in common.

I also have old but gold travel tips if you are planning on going to Europe, especially France as I lived there in 2018-2019.

If it matters, I also am an English Language Coach. So, I can help you practice your English skills during my stay. I love conversations and I’m beyond your average curious person. Hanging out with anyone is natural to me and discourses can be about anything under the sun.
