Hi there! My name's Ben and I am struggling to know what to write here. I am travelling Chile and Argentina right now, but I'm a Kiwi. Keen as for a chat and a beer if you like, but be warned now that my Spanish is pretty terrible. Hoping to learn on the go, though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get the local experience. When I finish my travels, I want to help people find cool places to visit while they are in New Zealand

Interests

I am currently hiking the South Island section of Te Araroa. I am heading to Chile at the end of January 2020 for several months to do more backpacking!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently hiking a large section of Te Araroa in the South Island of New Zealand (approx 1200km)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have studied engineering and environmental science, and love to learn new things about the region I am visiting. I know a bit about New Zealand flora and fauna, and if you can teach me about the local wildlife or environmental issues, beers are on me. I am always keen to give new things a try.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiasm!!! And a good, friendly attitude.
