Hi I'm Ben, I'm currently travelling around South America, trying to take in all the beautiful areas, try all the different food and learn about the different cultures here. I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things, I love to hear what people are passionate about, even if its not something I am into I love to hear all about it and it sometimes can create a new interest in me for the subject

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and have a cultural exchange, share different ideas and experiences

Interests

I'm quite varied with my interests and enjoy finding new ones

• reading
• traveling
• hiking
• surfing
• sports
• sightseeing
• learning about different cultures
• eating new foods

Music, Movies, and Books

I have very varied tastes with all three depending on my mood, but I will always love sci fi and fantasy movies and books, I find them very easy reading and watching

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As part of this trip I went to the Galapagos Islands and I found it gave me lots of I can't believe I'm actually here moments, I love being in nature and seeing animals in their natural habitats so to be immersed like this was amazing, the only experience I could compare it to would be a short trip I had to Iquitos in the Amazon many years ago where I had the same sort of feeling

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite well traveled so I enjoy talking about experiences and learning about ones that others have experienced, I love football and most other sports, so if you have any interest in sport I'm always happy to share in that with you. I am not a great cook but I do really enjoy cooking with people, so if you'd like to cook together I'd be keen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very friendly and easy going, I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and learning about them and I will be extremely grateful to you for your kindness in opening up your home and letting me stay. As I mentioned earlier I am not a great cook but will happily make some meals, they might just be a bit basic!!
