CURRENT MISSION

Meeting and learning other styles of living, meet people, exchange with them. Working on a YouTube channel where I travel and encounter the locals in different countries in other to open our minds about other cultures and social backgrounds : https://www.youtube.com/@benencounters & https://www.youtube.com/@benitoencuentra

ABOUT ME

I used to be a carpenter, then worked hard to get to University and along the way made some travels that left a strong impact on me leading to take some risks and try creating videos about people in different cultures. I like outdoor sports like climbing and hiking but also urban culture and art :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Improve my travel style by meeting the locals first and foremost including for my youtube channel. Also trying to save on expensive accommodations of course , and, last but not least, meeting amazing people and have human experiences each time :) It could be great to make my hosts part of the youtube channel too!!

兴趣

Improvisational theater, video, documentaries, new technologies, outdoor, climbing, adventure books, and learning languages!

But most of all, my recent passion is my youtube channel where I try to meet the locals by chance and learn about them and their culture: https://www.youtube.com/@benencounters & https://www.youtube.com/@benitoencuentra

音乐、电影和书籍

I love many kinds of musics, especially the ones for dancing or electronic.

I love films even more! My favourites are L'auberge Espagnole and The Beach.

My favourite books are Martin Eden (Jack London), and Mike Horn books.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I would love to be able to film the experience of meeting each other for my channel, although it is not necessary because I'll go meet other people in any case when exploring around. I am otherwise quite simple, I don't look for particular places to visit, just want to meet you and immerse myself in the culture. We can talk about videomaking and documentaries, film, about cultural similarities and life experiences (even sharing about struggles!)
