Aloha! My name is Ben. I am lucky enough to call Maui home. I love to meet new people, travel, workout outdoors, and explore nature. I have a twin brother who I live with, and we have friends visit often, so I can't always take guests. But I am always down to meet up for a fun adventure and if possible, have you stay.

I like people who are positive, respectful, tidy, open minded, adventurous, healthy, and fun. I try to be the same way. Would love to hear from you if this describes you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fun, new people and for when I travel. Headed to Prague and Croatia at the end of May!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can Teach - fitness tips, workouts, running form, foam rolling

Love to Share - healthy food, massage

Want to Learn - yoga, meditation, massage, and spiritual practice, as I'm still a beginner at that
