ABOUT ME

Early 30's exploring the world and having fun!

My next trip is in the works :). Heading south to Argentina and Chile for hiking in Patagonia. I'm working on learning Spanish, so if you're fluent let's chat or follow each other on duolingo Ben506384! If you have experience in Patagonia I'd love to hear from you.

I like sharing stories with people from around the world and find most people are decent people and just want to live life the way they want. As long as your honest and not hurting other people along the way, you do you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started with a solo trip across Europe for two months, now I enjoy hosting people and showing off my city :). I've enjoyed the people I've met so far and would like to continue meeting new peeps.
