My name is Ben. I was traveling the United States in a van I built into a little home, but most recently I took a job in Flagstaff, where I know no one!! I want to buy a place in Flagstaff, but in the mean time will be living out of my van until I do. So if you know anyone that wont mind a stranger parking in front of their house let me know!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Simply put, I want to see the world. I feel a large percentage of Americans are blind to how large the world is. I visited my brother, and his wife in Mongolia. It was the best experience in my life, so far. Being able to see how other people live is interesting, and eye opening. They were part of the peace corps so coach surfing is what we did the whole time. It was great, I met some great people who had amazing stories. Also, saving some money and not paying for a hotel would be awesome as well.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Just about anything, not that huge into country. Went on a big EDM phase a long time ago. Alternative rock type stuff is my go to now I guess. But really it depends on what I'm doing and getting into. Movies: Sci-Fi movies, Interstellar is a favorite. Books: I've read a good amount, but back to the movies one above I love sci-fi based books. Currently REading Sapiens by Yoval Noah Harari though. Really enjoy his stuff.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
10 day trip to mongolia
Teach, Learn, Share
I don't have Facebook. It took up to much time in my life. I left it years ago and it was the best decision of my life. So I hope its not a deal breaker I don't have it. But if you have instagram my name is: @benz.van
What I Can Share With Hosts
Not much. If you’re in a super pinch and not afraid of staying with a random person in a van I guess that’s alright. But really only room for one.
My Interests
Traveling of course, yoga, sports of any kind (watching or playing), hiking, my beard haha, street art, photography, food...Really just trying to take a different outlook on life as of late.
