My name is Ben. I come from Germany (Dresden), where I just finished Highschool (A-levels). But now I live in South Africa for one year and do a voluntary service in a Special School near Durban.
I am open minded and always interested in new perspectives. That was the reason for me deciding to stay in South Africa for one year.
In my free time I love hiking and seeing new parts of the beautiful nature of our planet. I already did lots of "adventure trips" by canoe, bike and by hiking. My very favourite one was a 17-day-trip to Laponia in Sweden where I hiked in the beautiful nature and slept wherever I wanted in my tent.
