Hey 👋🏻 I’m Ben from the land down under - Australia. I’m on a gap year this year (2019) after finishing school. I worked a few jobs at the beginning of the year and have been travelling since the middle of May.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To experience places from a local perspective. To meet people that I otherwise wouldn’t meet. To have a load of fun.

音乐、电影和书籍

I’m into all types of music. I tried to go to as many concerts I can afford, from Eminem to Midnight oil to Flume, I love it all!

Movies: If I had to pick two I’d choose The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump. Classics

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I was part of an art exhibition in which I was paired with a centenarian (someone over the age of 100). Over several months I got too know her and then painted her portrait which was exhibited along with 50 other portraits. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

教，学，和分享

I’m young so I really don’t have much to teach :( I can share you some Australian slang I guess. Maybe some travel advice of places I’ve been..?
