Hey my friend's call me Ben but my mom calls me Benjamin when I've done something wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling ain't about money, it's about opening your mind and heart to new experiences. The only way to grow in life is to share and receive wisdom, so meeting other like minded humans in other great cities is a fast track way to be like Einstein. I can't wait till I have a place of my own where I can host some surfers of the couch.

Interests

Eating food, sleeping on couches, watching movies, listening to music, hiking, reading stuff, thinking about other stuff, speaking about all this stuff, showering, looking at stuff, playing guitar (the same 5 songs over and over)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all music that sounds good, whether it be some super cool indie soundtrack from a Wes Anderson film to the backstreet boys, I love all music.

I find myself gravitating towards the sci fi genre, perhaps due to my exposure to 2001 at a young age, but I enjoy all forms of cinema.

Books are great. Right now I'm reading Ken Follett and after that I plan on jumping into some biographies about awesome people like MLK and Benjamin Franklin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For my first ever hike I went alone and ended up hiking 150 km for seven days, the trail was the great southwest walk in southern Australia, highly recommend it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A refreshingly honest and cynical outlook on the world, and I can make the exact sound a dolphin makes.
