ABOUT ME

After four months of driving up the east coast of Australia I now find myself volunteering and travelling in India :)

--Whilst I can't host personally right now I am always happy to offer suggestions or chat to people who may be able to--

I usually let future Ben deal with the situations that present Ben experiences so that I can enjoy the moment. I'm yet to meet future Ben but as far as I can tell we are both happy with this arrangement.

I enjoy having a laugh with my friends (old and brand new), music, surfing, guitar, animals, the water, meaningful discussions, activities of many kinds, a beer here and there, meeting new people, seeing kids smile, meditating and all things, big and small, that make the world glow.

I've schooled, worked, universityed and travelled, all of which have been experiences that have shaped me and led me to being here right now.

At this point in time I am not sure where I live in terms of a town or specific place but should I return to the surf coast in Victoria I would love to host you and share with you the beauty of the area. I absolutely love it and am sure you will draw energy from the natural beauty of the coast and the people there too.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not always easy but embrace all; emotions, environments, people, weather conditions, yourself.

'Money can't buy life.'

'Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.'

When you smile at the world, it smiles back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about other cultures, backgrounds, communities and environments. Happy to teach whatever I can; surfing, guitar, fourth grade algebra, how a fig tree grows or anything 'Australian'.
