My name is Ben, I'm very open minded and interested in different personalities and cultures . I live in a small town called Darwen, which is in a county called Lancashire, which is in the United Kingdom. I currently work in a factory as a production operative, it's not the most glamorous of jobs, but I guess it's better than nothing. However I like to think their is more to me and their is certainly more to life than the small town I've existed in for 29 years. I JUST WANNA GET OUT THERE AND EXPLORE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Berlin alone, it was the first time I'd ever been abroad on my own. I was slightly nervous at first and didn't really know what to expect, but I'm so glad that I did it. It was a fantastic city and a great experience.
