About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Growing in my love for the world!

ABOUT ME

Hello my name is Ben! My partner Tiff and I are from Sitka, Alaska. We both quit our jobs in 2018 with hopes to travel until we run out of money, and we’ve been lucky and frugal enough to still be on the road! We’re both pretty outgoing, sociable types - though we’re also very happy doing our own thing and enjoying silence and stillness. We’re always game for adventure or exploration. We both care deeply about social justice, protecting the earth, and inspiring acts of generosity and kindness throughout the world! We love cooking and music and dancing and art and all forms of art and soul and creativity. We love meaningful work and conversation and community-building. Would love to connect with anyone wherever I am, and am happy to host whenever I am able!

I rode a bicycle up to Alaska at 18, vowing to my parents that I would be a crab fisherman, and within 2 years found myself on deck the Island Mist in the Bering Sea..

------READ THIS IF YOU'D LIKE TO COUCHSURF WITH ME-------

I understand lots of people are joining couchsurfing (it's awesome! welcome!), but please take a look at at the couchsurfing values (http://www.couchsurfing.com/about/values/) and maybe google search "couchsurfing etiquette." This site isn't just a way to save money during travels; it's a really fun way to help create an amazing worldwide community. If you send me a message that looks like you copy + pasted it in order to request as many couches as possible, I might gently chide you and ask you to read the values, and also say no, sorry, I can't host. To show that you did indeed take the time to actually look at my profile before willy-nilly requesting to sleep in my home, under my roof, where I am trusting you to not be a serial killer, please mention this in your message, and for extra bonus points tell me a joke you've picked up somewhere.
