Hey! I’m Benj. I’ve been living in Switzerland for about 7 months, working at the Villars Palace, and I’m ready to start exploring more of this country beyond the mountains. I’m currently in a massive "building phase" of my life. I’ve been trained in high-end hospitality standards, so I know exactly how to be the kind of houseguest you’ll actually want to host—I’m respectful of boundaries, I value cleanliness, and I’m definitely not the guy who leaves a sink full of dishes. I’m currently mapping out an ambitious project to build a self-sustaining community and school in the Philippines. It’s a lot, it’s chaotic, and it’s a big dream, but I’m obsessed with figuring out how to build systems that actually work and help people. Why I’m on here: I’m new to Couchsurfing and I haven't paid for the verification yet (budgeting for the big dreams right now!), but I’m fully transparent. I’m just looking for real connections. I’m a high-energy person who loves talking about the "big stuff"—how the world works, why things break, and how to build stuff that lasts. What I bring to the table: Zero drama: I’m low-maintenance and respectful. I know the standard of service expected in high-end hospitality, so I treat every home I visit with that same level of care. Good conversation: Whether you want to talk about sustainable farming, business tech, or just vent about how weird the world is right now, I’m in. Honesty: Since I’m new and unverified, I’m more than happy to jump on a quick WhatsApp or video chat beforehand so you can see I’m a normal human. I’m just a guy based in Villars who is looking to meet cool people while exploring more of this country. If you’re down to host someone who’s excited about life and just wants to hang out and explore for a bit, hit me up :)
