Hi! I’m Benji, a French traveller currently making my way across the Guyanas and Venezuela— mostly hitchhiking, meeting people, learning from the road, and trying to move slowly and respectfully.

I’m on a long journey that started by crossing the Atlantic Ocean on sailboats, cycling in Patagonia and has taken me through the Andes, the Amazon... I love connecting with locals, sharing stories, helping out, and discovering daily life wherever I am.

I’m easy-going, curious, and pretty independent. I love nature, cooking, climbing, and building things with my hands. I’ve renovated an apartment by myself, built a chicken coop, and I'm inspired by low-tech, traditional craftsmanship.

Insegna, impara, condividi

⭐ What I Can Share

🇫🇷 French lessons (I’ve been teaching a 13-year-old Colombian kid)

🍲 Cooking (simple but delicious: hummus, pasta sauces, healthy bowls, and whatever we create together)

🔧 Fixing things (woodwork, small repairs, DIY — I enjoy helping)

🎒 Outdoor skills (climbing, trail running, cycling adventures)

🤝 Good company — I’m polite, respectful, and I adapt easily to any hosting style.

I’m not looking for a free place; I’m looking for cultural exchange and interesting conversations.

🛏️ As a Guest

I’m clean, quiet, and I never expect anything. I’m happy on a couch, a mattress, or a hammock. I always help with cleaning, dishes, cooking, or anything that makes life easier for my host.
