CURRENT MISSION

Get myself in a position where I never have to do work I don't want to do again.

ABOUT ME

Howdy! My name is Ben and I have been on this planet for 24 years now.

I am slightly confused with what I want out of life right now. I think the best thing to do is to live as many different experiences and places as possible before 'settling down' if I ever do.

I am happiest doing creative stuff like writing, photography and videos. However, the people I've met who work by this generally tell me that you will make no money through writing and videography (photography is easier).

Right now I'm going entrepreneur and starting a company. I am also learning coding and other jobs that you can do over the internet, gearing me up for the eventualities of a nomadic lifestyle.

In Berlin you will find me happy, busy and willing to explore new things. Vamos.

PHILOSOPHY

The Nietzschean superman.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Events, surfing hosting etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

:D

Interests

My camera is my baby. Taking photos is one of the few things that always feels good, even when I am hungover.

I also love making films (see the my website link).

I studied PHILOSOPHY and economics (the philosophy is capitalised for a reason !)

I like travelling (well, duh) and learning languages and understanding their structures. The that verbs in Hebrew change with the gender fascinates me for example.

Music of many forms. I play the melodica and am always up for a jam although I apologise in advance if I seems I am greedy as I find this instrument very difficult to play anything other than solos on this instrument.

I like computers, star wars, Studio Ghibli, Adobe CS5 and am learning web coding. (Let's get the nerd out all in one sentence :D )

I like drinking, but hate being hungover. If someone can find me a solution I will buy you a beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always want to read, but only seem to find time when I'm travelling. I like to write as well.

Movies.... A lot.
