Hey! my name is Ben. I'm a crazy dude.

When I turned 18 I took the first chance that i could to run away in a search for adventure. I scared the shit out of my parents, but that was half the fun anyway.

Since then I have had adventures, both big and small, throughout Central America and the United States. In the process I have formed an addiction to challenging my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people! People are super interesting!

Although I always enjoy a good hostel or volunteer experience, I have learned that the locals always know best and usually offer the most rewarding experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking! It seems banal but it's a real confidence boost.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am looking for hosts who are more than just a place to stay. However, I still greatly appreciate anything that someone has to offer.

I understand that people have limited resources like time, space, and physical/social energy.

I will offer what I can with my also limited energy and resources.

I will respect any boundaries that my hosts set and only ask that they respect mine in return.
