Hey everyone, I’m Benjamin, a 21 year old Urban Economics student living in Rotterdam! I'm an outgoing guy, passionate about travelling and meeting people along the way. Apart from that, I love playing the guitar, making small illustrations and doing various kinds of sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hearing lots of nice stories from couchsurfers and hosts so far, so I told myself I should give it a go as well! In fact, this summer, I'll be travelling by train from my hometown Brussels via Berlin, Budapest, Belgrade and Bar all the way to Croatia, together with my girlfriend Cynthia - so we're on a hunt for some nice people out there who've got some spare couches, snacks and anecdotes to share with us :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a website called Benchspotters (bit.ly/benchspotters) where we ask people to map their favourite benches in town!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could reveal you the perfect pancake recipe, everything you need to know about clouds, the best effects on pixlr.com, a word or two in one of my mother tongues, where to find the coolest benches in my hometown... and I would be more than happy to learn pretty much anything from you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We'll definitely have a snack or two to share with you from Belgium or either of the places we're passing by on our way to your hometown!
