Hello, my name is Ben.

My goal is to experience as much of the world that I can during my time here, and I think there is no better way of doing that than traveling.

Since graduating from University, I worked in a lab doing Ovarian Cancer research until January 2025. I recently moved to Amsterdam, and I’m trying to build a life here while taking some time to travel.

I would host, and used to host, but currently cannot because I have moved in with my girlfriend and her roommate for the time being

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fun people from around the world

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I’m a big believer that all any music can be amazing at the right time, and place.

Movies: I love fantasy movies.

Books: Honestly not much of a reader even though I want to be :/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dropped out of school for a semester to work at a ski resort.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to talk about about just about anything including but not limited to art, politics, music, travel stories, and sport

I am a particularly big science nerd and will ramble on about anything science related if that interests you 😆

A positive attitude and homemade cooking.
