Hi I’m Ben!
I’m an Australian, big traveller and arts lover. I work in theatre, film and circus. Most of 2025 I was living in New York City, working at a Broadway theatre. Then in Edinburgh for the festival before finally back home to Melbourne. November I’ll be in California then moving to London December 2025. Hoping to see lots of the country and meet many new people :) It has been amazing reconnecting with Couchsurfing!
Im a more introverted type, I have loved my Couchsurfing experiences - such a great way to meet people in new places and travel with locals. Have also really enjoyed offering my own couch where I can to give back to this amazing community. Very open minded happy to host and stay with all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keen to meet new people, learn people's stories, travel like a local and host likeminded individuals: I want to learn and see a place by the people that live there. I also love games - always keen to learn new card games!
