Hello soon to be friends. I'm a 22 year old who loves to laugh and learn. I began traveling alone over the past year and found true bliss and understanding in the travels, both learning about myself and learning from every action and interaction I get to experience. Update: back in NY exploring the city and surrounding area and biking every chance I get. I have a love for the outdoors including hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, sightseeing, and of course traveling. I'm a solo traveller, always looking to meet new people and shine a positive light wherever I may be. Also love conversation and getting to know people on a personal level. Much Love, Benjamin Raff. You can find me on facebook : Benjamin Phillip "Life is a journey, not a destination"

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
With hope for cheaper alternatives for night stay and hopefully to see a city / area from an insiders perspective. I became very situated with where I went to University and anytime a friend came up and wanted to see Vermont I became a tour guide. Hoping that I can meet some cool people and find some insider tips on seeing the sites of wherever I am!
