About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Restless creative, inspiring and Looking to be Inspired.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going, low maintenance and love to meet new people. I've found I get energy around new people, more-so than almost anything in my life; and it's why I keep coming back to travel again and again. I'm extremely passionate about photography and music--So any and all ways I can make those two worlds collide is ideal for me.

In my day-to-day I'm a filmmaker and photographer. You can see some of my work here: http://benjaminhandler.com/

Also recently returned came back to USA from 1 year abroad in Colombia, I kept a photo journal here: www.still365traveling.WordPress.com

PHILOSOPHY

Step off the path. People may not understand why you've done it, but you'll end up a better person because of it. Ask tough questions about yourself. Find out who you really are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed for my first time in Canada recently . I wasn't sure what to expect--a little scared, really--but I'm so glad I did. I met some great people and had some of the most interesting, fulfilling travel experiences that I've had in my life.

Interests

I make films, play sports and take pictures. I'm high energy, at times a bit competitive (hehe) and always happily curious. I'm actively working on Spanish and would love to practice Spanish with you (or, of course, English if you're learning!).
