Hello,

My name is Benjamin Lommen, im 28 years old and from The Netherlands.
I work as a allround employee in a lifestyle wholesale. Travelling is my passion, I travel the world since 2012. Follow my travels on dutchdingo.com

I like to travel as backpacker, stay in hostels or with local people. This is the best way to learn about a country and its culture. I like to do daytrips in groups but I dont mind to wander myself and get lost somewhere.

I am an foodie, always want to try local food. I like special beers and good wines. A evening out with Shisha (qalyan) with tea and a good chat is what I like.

Find me on Facebook or tripadvisor as benlommen

Especially interested in historical and ancient places. Prefer off the beaten track destinations and avoid big and crowded cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet with locals to learn about other cultures, to meet other people, to make international friends.
