Hey I’m Ben, I’m an architect from Australia. I love traveling and meeting new people, and try to do as much as I possibly can. I love meeting locals and making new friends and think Couchsurfing is the best platform to meet more incredible people :) i really enjoy gaining a locals perspective of the places I visit.

I am currently traveling full time across Central Asia while heading towards Europe so am unable to host in Australia.

I also love photography and you can check out my work on Instagram, my username is @wanderlust.and.ben

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best part about Travel is meeting so many amazing people from all over the world and Couchsurfing will help me meet you all, before this I was using workaway which was also a really good platform for meeting people around the world :)
