Hey :) I'm Ben!
I'm currently studying in LA on a semester abroad from Dublin. I'm from Germany but I'm half Australian so my native language is both German and English.
I believe I am quite open-minded and sponataneous, so I'll be happy getting to know different people and ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring new places and getting to know new people.
Of course I will help out my hosts in any way possible - doing the household, groceries, constructions, work, animal care, random errands or anything really. I believe all of this to have mutual benefits, so that we all will have a great time :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always there for a good conversation and love to share my views and opinions.
apart from that I'd love to share (and learn new) photography insights and other creative matters.
If interested, I'm also happy to teach German or anything else really.
Obviously I will also help do the household and I love cooking whenever I have the time.
I hope to give back new insights to my hosts in return for letting me stay so that everyone will have a great time :)
