ABOUT ME

Hey you guys out there! I'm Ben and right now me and my buddy max are on a world trip. As i'm writing this i'm on Fiji enjoying the "Fiji Time" :) We've already been to China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Sydney and New Zealand. Before we're going back to Germany we'll stay about two more weeks at the East Coast of the US. There we want to start our couchsurfing career, since we've heard from so many people that travelling is not even half of fun without couchsurfing! Well, we still have had a lot of fun and we're ready to share our stories with you! It's my first trip that big and it definitely won't be my last! But first i'm gonna do the "normal" stuff like studying, preferred history. My dream is to be a journalist who travels around and writes about it. I'm a pretty lazy writer though, as you can see on my profile, but blame the german text correction of another german guy's iPad for that ;) I'm not good in describing myself, i let other people decide, but i think to call myself "open minded" wouldn't be a bad description. Finally i can tell you it will never get bored with me and Max! Anyway, I'm really looking forward meeting any of you guys, wherever i'm gonna be surfing :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Django!!! and all the other Tarantino movies, Ray, The Big Lebowski, and much more ...i used to play violin so i'm a big fan of old and classical music, preferred Bach and Schubert. I can listen to almost everything except Heavy Metal and German folk music. I also make my own music on the computer, mainly hiphop and minimal beats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Basically everything during the last 5 months, sleeping in front of a train station in a totally faceless and unknown city in China or diving with sharks on Fiji are just two of them
