Hello,
I'm Ben from Israel.
In the last 4 I've been traveling around, sometimes volunteering for a few months.
In the past year I've been in California and Mexico.
I love traveling, meeting people, seeing amazing landscapes, cool cities and the sea.
I play bass guitar and like jamming, especially funky music and spend many hours listening to music.
I like taking walks and stretching and exercising the body.
I really like good food but recently I stopped eating meat (again) and trying to keep dairy and eggs out of my menu, without much success.
If you want I can cook, wash your dishes and sweep your floor! :P

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music is classical (especially bach), I like complex harmony but I also like aphex twin and meshuggah a lot and old school hip hop. I used to be really into rage against the machine, red hot chilli peppers, sublime, muse and mars volta.
I like documentary films and my 2 favourite non documentary films were 'trainspotting' and 'stalingrad' (93 version).
A book that really inspired me was 'on the road' and I also used to read a lot of paul auster and Dostoyevsky, and some books about metaphysics and spirituality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked alone with no money from Florence to London.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good with teaching, especially languages so I can teach anyone who wants spanish, italian, english or hebrew, would always appreciate learning the local language.
I'm really into languages and linguistics.
I could also teach bass guitar.
I like to learn about geography and history and cultures and to understand the place I'm in, what happened there and the causes that made it the way it is.
