Hello! My name is Ben, I love traveling and I want to visit as many places as I can, as well as meet new people, cultures, traditions and languages. I lived a lot of my life in Poland but now I came back to England and finished my oceanography studies in Plymouth. Now I work as a hydrographic surveyor in Scotland and am making the most of the wonderful nature nearby. Whenever I have free time - I travel :) I am a social person and like to meet for a drink :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great idea to discover new places, and at the same time meeting interesting, international people.

Interests

In general I'm interested in everything and everybody. I'm really curious about the world and the people who live in it. Everyone has an interesting story to tell. That's why I always love to meet new people!

I don't like being in one place for too long so I try to go on weekend trips as often as I can to see new places :)

What is really important for me is to stay active. I love all kind of sports and I always try something new. I regularly go swimming, cycling and climbing! I love going out with friends.
