About Me

* Please DO NOT request to stay with me without reading my profile and the sleeping arrangements.*

Hi, I am Ben and I have been active on CS for the past 7 years.

I love meeting new people and sharing stories with them from my journies in life.

I currently live in Los Angeles but I tend to travel a lot.

I am very social and love going out and having a good time.

I make an effort to build and create an extraordinary life surrounding me.
And of course-enjoy life as it goes on...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*Please DO NOT request to stay with me without reading my profile and sleeping arrangements*

After my first experience on CS, I decided that at some point in life, I will have a huge house, and I will host people on CS regularly - making their journey a little more awesome than it already is. That day has come.

I have hosted several events throughout the years( You can see some references that I got from people who came to my events).

Since in hotels when I travel for business, I love taking the opportunity to meet locals through CS when I travel for fun. I have been hosted 3 times on CS (Colorado, Singapore, Austria).

I leave my couch "Open" often, I have hosted people from over a dozen different countries and plan to keep doing so as long as I can.

Interests

I am a professional Skydiver, avid Snowboarder, and Scubadiver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I have lived at the Shaolin temple in China, while taking full participation in Zen Buddhism lifestyle: Meditation, food diet(Chopsticks only!), Kong Fu training(11 hours daily), Chinese culture and rituals.

* Epic donkey trip, 120 KM long in 3 days. ( This story must be told in person)

* Took over Australia on a crazy party bus journey with my best friend, performing in Australia's biggest festivals.

* Several trips around the world, can't count on one hand the times I have seen the end of my life in front of my eyes.
