CURRENT MISSION

To immerse myself in the amazing cultures of South America, and meet amazing people along the way

ABOUT ME

Hey there,

My name's Ben, I'm a 25 year old kiwi, and am travelling South America for 6 months. I'm super chill, easy-going, and open minded. I'm no good at making plans, prefer to just go with the flow.

Music is my main passion - playing drums and piano - and love most genres. Right now, I'm obsessed with electroswing, a fusion of Big Band jazz from the 20s and dance music. Since being in South America, I've grown to love salsa and cha-cha and want to do as much dancing as I can in Ecuador and Colombia, despite looking ridiculous.

Love reading books - currently reading True Grit by Charles Portis.
