I'm a funny and positively 'crazy' /extroverted guy :) As an Anthropologist (Social Scientist) that speaks 4,5 languages there's always something interesting to talk about with me😎 ... I love to make new friends cause I'm a Social Animal :)
AGREGENME en el FACE : Mi apodo allí es : Y Ben Jesus.. (that's my FB, I do a lot social and artistical commentary on my Facebook... ' Y Ben Jesus' ...)

I figured, a while ago, that the Sense of Life is to GETTING TO UNDERSTAND the PEOPLE OF THAT PLANET = ) And their CULTURES Of Course!! Those are the Topics I work with as a Social Anthropologist, Language and Integration Teacher and as an Independent Cultural Journalist in Progress... (Working on a social-critical Documentary Film currently).

Meu nome é Ben e sou um Antropólogo Social, Profe de línguas e Jornalista Cultural da Alemanha enfocado nas realidades das culturas das Américas :) .. Atualmente viajo e trabalho entre Portugal, Espanha e no Brasil, e sempre estou procurando nov@s amig@s interessantes :) Se tiver vontade de se encontrar comigo para passeiar juntos pela cidade e trocar pensamentos interculturais e passar um bom tempo entre rissos e histórias da vida em algúm espaco natural ou no charme de um lounge-bar (Jazz/Blues Bar) bacano, escreva para mim e vamos marcar um encontro :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think we The Humans are in the first place are 'Memory Collectors' .. Life is the Task in which the Homo Sapiens collects as much as joyful and happy moments as possible to be able to recall those moments over and over again to reach finally self-satisfaction..
That's What I'M SEARCHING IN THIS COMMUNITY HERE.. To Create Great FUNNY and JOYFUL MOMENTS TOGETHER none of us will ever forget :) +++ Reach an Interchange of Ideas and Perspectives on different Live Issues; Might be profund and more Philosophical Topics as well as Hilarious and more trivial conversations Goofing Around a bit :P
SO I WANNA KNOW WHY WE PEOPLE ACT AS WE ACT, INSIDE OF OUR SOCIETIES AND DIFFERENT HABITAT's !!!!??? ++++ " I want to rock with you (all the tiiimeeee) , Dance you into day (sunliiiiggghhhhhtttt) & Dancing in the Desert blowing off the Sunshine " :O :P ** .. So Who is both INTO Michael Jackson and System Of A Down here in this Town!!? :D

Interests

My passion Number One is TRAVELLING AS MUCH AS I CAN, KNOWING NEW PLACES AND NEW PEOPLE THAT LET ME GROW AS A PERSONALITY. I always try to extract new perspectives on Life out of the conversations I have with interesting people specially if it's people from cultures which I don't know that good yet. I'm a guy that's totally into artistical expression and honest music, What else.. Mmmm... I love for example to mess around walking threw historical architecture :P
