I’m currently in the US visiting family through the end of August! Starting off in Alexandria, VA, with NYC, Chicago, and Seattle next on the itinerary. I'm also looking for a place to stay in NYC for a week this May—if anyone has any leads or recommendations, let me know! About me: Between managing family commitments and professional projects, I stay busy, but I'm always planning the next global adventure. I believe travel is truly defined by the people you meet and the memories you create, which is why I enjoy "living like a tourist" even when I'm home in Thailand. I’m particularly drawn to exploring rainforests—despite a long-standing feud with mosquitoes—and I’m always on the hunt for authentic local food that fits a dairy-free lifestyle. I tend to show my appreciation for friends through elaborate pranks, balancing a laid-back personality with a strict rule for being on time. Whether you’re looking for local tips or want to grab a drink at Khao San Road to unwind, let’s connect. Instagram/facebook: Ben_bank tepparit
