Hey there, I am Ben and I am a Globetrotter. Since I got my A-Level in Germany I am traveling a lot. I have been to China, Indonesia, New Zeeland, Australia, I traveled Finnland during an Erasmus exchange for half a year and I have been to multiple or I would even say the majority of European countries. My favourite way to travel is basically just me, my hiking boots, my backpack and a lot good vibes. On my most favourite tours I was always hitchhiking, cause that made me the most beautiful experiences with locals ever. I finished my bachelor studies now and took myself the time to go travelling again as long as I want to - open end.
I have a route in my head, which goes to India, Nepal, Bhutan, maybe Tibet, Sri Lanka and then I want to go back to Germany by hitchhiking. But the beauty of the freedom I took myself: Everything can change whenever and wherever I want to.
Besides my love for traveling, I love reading books, I write my own one and would consider myself a philosopher just for fun.

I never had Couchsurfing myself, but I always traveled with some friends and just made amazing experiences with the community. But now I am more likely travelling alone and want to get more in contact with locals, so yeah I would love to meet you as soon as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause I love to get in touch with locals, watch the culture from their perspective and learn, laugh and love life together with them.

I am not watching series actually, but I have a love for good books and movies. My favourite movies: captain fantastic, a beautiful mind, a knights tale and dead poets society.
My favourite book: I can’t decide for a couple haha but we can talk about them when we see each other ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first hitchhiking experience was crazy: I was not even waiting for 5 min on a highway in Estonia. I was on the way back home to Germany. The couple who took me with them, was traveling Estonia in their holidays and they offered me to spent some days with them, so they showed me their most loved places in Estonia. Humans are so nice…

Teach, Learn, Share

Every single individual has their own perspective. And non of those perspectives is a one who can see the full truth. But in ever single perspective is a little one. Every single person is part of that truth and we can share it, wonder about it and love it together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I open myself up easily when I feel comfortable. And when I open myself up, I am sharing everything I can.
