Hey Everyone,

My name is Ben, I'm 21 years old now. I'm studying a degree in economics at the University of Cambridge in England, currently, I'm doing the second year. I lived the last three years in Boston, USA (you may know it for the Red Socks), but this year I'm back home in Germany in order to continue them. I live in Borken (sure you are thinking "Borken? Where is it?), which it is a small town close to Dusseldorf in Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and visiting new places and local people. I first heard about Couchsurfing some months ago, when a friend of mine who is in told me about it. I found it really interesting, so I've decided to sign up.
When I travel, I like sightseeing -not the typical tourist-like- and getting to know new people, cultures, typical places... and I think that the best way to do it is getting in touch with local people. I sometimes travell a lone or with a couple of friends, so it's always a great thing getting to know new people and having some company for some days.
I also like showing my town/near cities to travellers who are looking for some fun and talk.
Apart from that, I find it good because it's a way of knowing people from different places, with different ways of thinking and I've always think that's is really enriching.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy doing things like reading, going for some beers, praticing sports, playing the guitar... but what I like most is travelling and going to the mountain. Well, actually, I like every activity that involves contact with nature (going for walks trough the forest, near the beach, cliffs... anywhere you can enjoy an amazing sight!)
