About Me

Hey, I’m Benny 👋 I began my backpacking journey on februrary 1, 2022. Since then, I’ve been exploring the world, meeting amazing people, and diving into local cultures.

I’m super spontaneous! I rarely plan anything in advance. I love just going with the flow and seeing where the road takes me 🥾🌍 Whether it’s a last-minute trip, an unexpected adventure, or a random conversation that turns into something unforgettable, I’m always in.

I enjoy meaningful chats, sharing stories, spontaneous adventures, or simply hanging out and soaking up the moment. I travel with an open heart and a curious mind, always ready to explore the unknown ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
