Hi, I'm Ben. I study Ecology as a senior at University of Georgia. After graduating this year, I plan to be a wildlife biologist. Going into nature always makes me happy regardless of what's happening with life, so I spend most of my time outside. This Fall I've been getting into whitewater kayaking and mountain biking, but that doesn't mean I won't do chill stuff like hiking in a unique place. From my experience with couchsurfing so far, I know it's a really unique way to travel. For me, an important part of traveling is getting close to the local culture wherever you are instead of just being there. Going around with other people from there is the perfect way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring somewhere new with people who know it is the funnest! Also I travel without spending much.
