CURRENT MISSION

Always looking to open my eyes to new cultures and ways of life!

ABOUT ME

Good day! Bonjour! Gutentag! Buongiorno! I'm Ben, I'm 24 years of age.
I'm vegetarian.
I love to meet people from all over the world and I try to learn their native languages (not very well).
Travelled around Europe from July to September 2012, it was very eventful, much more eventful that I ever planned or expected it to be, in both good ways and bad! This being so, I plan to travel again as soon as I can afford to!
As well as travelling I have many other loves, such as reading, listening to and playing music, Audrey Hepburn (amongst other beautiful women), art, painting and both playing and watching football.
I support my home team Burnley F.C but also quite like Arsenal.
I read anything from the ingredients on a cereal box, to Finnegans Wake.
I have always been very interested in Greek and Roman Mythology, sometimes to an almost obsessive point!
I enjoy going to see live music and have been to 5 festivals in the past, and used to be quite good at singing and playing guitar, but not so much any more :(
I am a big fan of art, especially Edward Hopper's work, but unfortunately I cannot paint or draw, but it's something I'd like to improve on!

That's me! If there's anything else you'd like to know, please don't be afraid to ask :)

PHILOSOPHY

Love, life and experiencing new cultures, sounds and sights.
