Hey ho!
My name is Benjamin and I am an open minded person who loves to travel and get to know new cultures! Like all on this platform I guess.
After finishing my Master`s degree in renewable energies and environmental technologies, I'm thinking about working abroad, either in Australia/New Zealand or in Asia (Japan, China, Singapore,...). If this is not possible in my field of study, I´m thinking about Work & Travel in Australia first and then doing volunteering work in water /wastewater management or sustainable urban design/development.
Always looking to meet nice, down to the earth and interesting people to learn from and have a good time with :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place." Nora Roberts
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Ghandi

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

after i made first experiences with cs in nicaragua, where friends hosted some people in our house, i´m now travelling around and looking for nice cs before i will return to germany the end of may where i hopefully will be able to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i met a lot of nice people by using cs. come of them are really good friends now.
i really like cs and think it`s a great idea. unfortunately some people told me that there are people who use cs to find someone to have sex with. that`s not the purpose of cs... the intention is to find nice and interesting people, share experiences and so on.
