Hey, I’m Ben. I’m a 30 year old primary school teacher from England, UK. Over the last few years, I have found travel to enrich my life and therefore make me a better teacher. I am looking for a year or two career break to travel and work in Central and South America and cannot wait to find out what the continent has to offer!

I am motivated by learning, both for myself and others, I am always on the lookout for new adventures and experiences that can help me, and others, grow and learn.
