CURRENT MISSION

Acquire a boat. Find a sea. Find an Island. Become a Pirate.

ABOUT ME

My name is Ben. I'm pretty short, and thus find it necessary to battle all of my friends on a regular basis so they don't get too cocky with all of their precious height. I still live in Charleston where I went to University because its really really hard to become motivated to do anything with this heat and humidity. Sweating and napping is a vicious cycle.

PHILOSOPHY

There are few things in this world that can't be responded to with a grin and a chuckle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been assured that this little network is a good idea, and I have a massive leather corner couch of which I couldn't take up all the space if I tried.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once spent an entire evening in a couch that had become lodged in a tree in the middle of the forest. I didn't ask how it got there, and neither the tree nor the couch were inclined to discuss it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a guy take a flaming shot of grain alcohol, miss his mouth, and light his entire face on fire.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: A cold beer in a hot shower is as close to nirvana as you can get.

Learn: I've worn Birkenstocks for so many years, I've forgotten how to tie a shoe

Share: My roommate will drive you to the beach faster than anyone should be allowed to get there.
