My name is Ben, I just graduated from Ohio University with a major in film/video production. I see myself as good-natured, open-minded, and friendly. I'm vegan, do yoga daily, and I love the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe couchsurfing can be a great way to connect with people, making traveling a more unique and beautiful experience. It allows us to open ourselves up to the goodness of humanity.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is always changing, but tend to like a little of everything, unless it's on the radio.

I love movies. As I grow and learn as a filmmaker myself I'm always finding other artworks that inspire me. For example, if you've seen Koyaanisqatsi or Samsara. Genres like Documentary, Experimental, and Sci-fi interest me very much.

I read as much as I can, usually on the subjects of philosophy, ethics, or eastern spirituality. Currently reading a lot of Thich Nhat Hanh and Alan Watts.

Also, the TV channel is usually on Adult Swim.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caving in Virginia was pretty wicked.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I almost always have my camera with me. I can create professional looking photo and video projects, or even edit together existing footage/photos that you already have.
