Hola!! I'm Ben from New Zealand :)

Love a good summer full of sun, surfing, beach, parties and festivals. Other interests include coffee, beer and wine, cool bars, off the beaten track exploration, cooking, eating etc etc. I work with teenagers from troubled backgrounds that have to live in a secure residence for a while (ie not allowed to leave, but sometimes they try run away and we have to chase them, it's pretty rad)

I have done a lot of couchsurfing before (Europe, Brazil, Colombia, US) as well as hosted a lot of people at my flat in Auckland,

PHILOSOPHY

adventure over commodities. left wing. 420. im not tooooo worried about seeing all the sights, and would rather go to some rad hidden bar or house party than see some 'must see' attraction.
