Ben Smith

Ben is warm, lively and entertaining. He has a great sense of humor and a wonderful ability to make people feel at ease. It's rare to see him without a grin on his face and he'll happily talk to you about anything from crosswords to marathons. When living on campus together it quickly became apparent that Ben was one the friendliest and most approachable people around. Anyone hosting or staying with Ben is guaranteed to have a positive experience.

Met Ben trough friends luke and chez. Ben is open and very friendly and an easy person to talk to and mix with.

 

Wow. This young chap is amazing. Has his heart and ethics in absolutely the right spot - and laughs at my jokes!
Fantastic lad - should be more of them - but he is a star!

Ben is such a good guy..very genuine an down to earth!Was great getting to meet him!I do apologise though for my drunkenness!Hope to see him again when I'm back in Melbourne!look after my wee hunni Grelly!

Ben is a nice guy... But I really don't know what all those flus came from. We had good chat during the whole time and I don't really remember being offensive (or shooshing)to your partner. For one thing, if I want to offend anyone, I would never just shoosh people! And I had no motive to offend her. Did I? I am guessing this may come from some misunderstandings from how I behaved that I was not aware of and how you took it differently than I did. But I would prefer to say it out loud at the moment much better.
But all in all, I think you are a very progressive person who is working hard for your life and have an optimistic outlook. The comment about the "shoosh" is the only thing that is confusing me.

reeeeaaally communicative and great to talk with.shame we only met once, hope to meet him again some day for another chat by bela kava:)good luck with your travels!

p.s:great seeing him again in new year!!if you have a chance, definitely go at least for a drink!!see you in march:)

Nice, communicative guy who likes Slovenia very much. We had an interesting talk in Maček. Enjoy your time! Hope to meet soon!
Update: What a pleasant surprise for a New Year! Thank you for a great talk!

Ben is, simply put, a great person. Smart, inteligent, kind, with a tremendous sense of humour too boot. He's also a brave adventurer, and a solid laugh. Despite not knowing Ben before, we got along as if we were close friends since childwood. We do have a friend common,Mr.Tom, hehehehehe...Cheers, mate, I hope to see you soon!

 

worked with him for a short period of time painting the roads in victoria....
Have since met after his amazing adventure. A great guy and very energetic personality and love for all lifes great chellenges.
definatley worth having a met up or host.

haidihow! You resemble my friend and he resembles you. And ppl who resemble friends like mirrors are my kind of mirror ;)

Ben is so multidimensial, he is engineer, runs marathons, travels the world; shy in a way but at the same time very open. Interesting and enthusiastic. He is the kind of ppl who fill the world with flowers of ppl :)

Have fun and see you somewhere around.

 

Ben was a total treat to hang out with. He was sassy and a great conversationalist! im glad I was able to kidnap him for a evening of birthday madness! (I was also delighted that home depot had him in stock! heheh) ;)

 

Ben was fun to talk to on the phone while we were trying to plan a visit. Sorry it didn't work out but he sounds like a great traveler.

Ben is a very unique person, in that he really is up to try anything, such as running a marathon on a busted foot. He is very generous and entertaining, will go out of his way to help almost anyone (including myself on several occasions). If you are fortunate enough to host Ben you will be getting a host of varied and interesting stories of the adventures he finds himself getting into, on a fairly regular basis it seems, as well as a friend for life if you treat him right.
