ABOUT ME

Hi!
I'm Anna aka Ben.
I'm a forever young old soul, blessed with a deep wanderlust.
I like trying out new stuff. I like sucking at it in the beginning. I like making mistakes and then learning from them. I love learning. I really love learning.
And living. I love the fact I'm alive.

I'm a fairly indecisive person, which is the main contributing factor for my current state of being. After high school I started out with plan A, and have now come down the alphabet to maybe around the letter H.
Ha! So I've still got a load of letters left!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'll be travelling through Central and South America until the summer of 2015. After that I'll hopefully be able to accommodate fellow travellers!

兴趣

People: I love recognizing people who I could become friends with. I enjoy sitting at a cafe in a busy place, following people going about their daily lives. I find gestures highly fascinating. I like being a by-stander and following two people having a conversation or an argument. I like human beings.

Music: In all forms. I'll listen to it, sing it, play it, or at least try to play it! I played the trumpet for ten years. I know my way noodeling with the guitar. My new interest is the samba bateria and all the percussions in it. Still a novice at drumming, but I'm determined to get better!

Diving: I'm a pro diver, currently an SSI Assistant Instructor and a PADI Instructor! The sea is a wonderful
place to be. Being on a fundive is like meditating.

Travelling: exhilarating, tiring, so fricking awesome and terrific. The world is full of places you can't imagine, people you wouldn't believe even exist, things so unbelievable to do that it's bewildering that we aren't all doing them constantly already. Only way to find it all out is to travel!

Ocelots: Possibly the cutest feline and I'm mostly a dog person! So it's REALLY cute!

Physical activity: It's a great privilige to be able to experience the world through the human body!
I used to do BJJ, but I acquired so many injuries that I've not been back rolling for a year now. Meantime I've been trying out yoga, capoeira and samba.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Helped save a girl from drowning.

教，学，和分享

I'd really appreciate if someone could show me how to find the constellations from the nightsky. I know there are some Apps people use, but it's definitely not the same.
I can teach its and bits about music and the human body (since I've studied physical therapy) although a disclaimer is in place since I'm not a pro in either!

Stories! I've got loads of stories from my travels! And I've got even more stories from my dad's travels! (He also travelled a lot when he was young!)
