ABOUT ME

Hi,

my name is Benjamin.

I take photographs, I study journalism, I make coffee, I'm easy going, I'm friendly and I'm very bad at selling myself.

However, I'll be more than happy to wander any city and show anyone the favorite bits of the cities that I know.

PHILOSOPHY

It'll be alright.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met great people who have made me feel right at home in any new city. I've made friends. I've even celebrated my birthday with complete strangers in a place i'd never visited before. It's like having family everywhere you go. Awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking down into the grand canyon, camping and then hiking out again. Talking to someone we couldn't actually see in the dark, on the way up and then having to walk 7 miles back to the car because no one would give us a ride.
