Heyo, my name's Ben. I'm a musician / producer from Oklahoma currently living without a fixed home. I used to live in Detroit, but right now I spend most of time living in Mexico, moving between places with my friends and bandmates from Argentina. I also go back to the US at times to play shows with other projects. I've done a lot of traveling over the years and had some incredible experiences with couchsurfing. Thanks to my time living in Mexico I speak a fluent Spanish in addition to my native English. I'm a chill, very adaptable person capable of living very minimally. I'm most interested in art (especially music, literature and film), but I also studied Economics and International Politics, so I can connect on a variety of levels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because its a humanistic approach to traveling that brings people together who would otherwise never meet.

Interests

As mentioned, I'm a musician and producer, as such I have a deep appreciation for a wide variety of musics. I of course love traveling, knowing other cultures, cooking delicious, reading literature (especially Latin American fiction), watching a good film, getting out in nature - all thats beautiful in life interests me.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's impossible to really have hierarchy, but right now I'm listening to Curtis Mayfield, Bedhead, Grouper, Henri Texier, and Joan Shelley. Movies - everything by Tarkovsky and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Books - everything by Roberto Bolano and Karl Ove Knausgård.
