Hey my name is Benjamin but you can call me Ben or Benji ;)

I am living in Bordeaux.

I love travelling around the world, discovering new countries and cultures, meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from all around the world.

Interests

I like to go hiking and camping with my friends in Pyrénées (South of France).
Cinema is a passion I studied in high school.
Running is my favourite sport, it allowed me to clear my mind.
I read almost everyday (litterature, manga, comic books).
I use to cook everyday :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014, I walked the way to Santiago de Compostela. I started from St Jean Pied de Port in south of France. I made 800km in a month. It was amazing: meeting people from everywhere, just walking every day, eating spanish food and wine, see wonderful landscape.
And, in 2017, I walked another way to Santiago de Compostela: the north way from Irun; and I went further than Santiago, to Muxia and Finisterre! 1000km walking over a month, it was an impressive experience!

In 2017, I was travelling by myself in USA for 3 months from East to West over 17 states. I visited cities such as New York City, Chicago and San Francisco; I worked in farms in Minnesota and Montana; I hiked in National Parks like Bryce Canyon and Yellowstone! It was so awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about the culture of my country, discuss about the trips I've done and I'm always interested to listen to the ones people did. I can teach my language and how to cook some french food ;)
