Hello!

Born in Australia and currently living in Amsterdam. The first step in exploring the world for as long as I can.

Philosophy
I have gone through a lot of different experiences in my life and I have always come back to one thing that I believe is absolutely true and that is love. Love is one of, if not the most beautiful thing that we have in human experience and it is the most powerful emotion to share, wether that be with people, your passion, your impact on your communities and the way that it fuels yourself and how you carry and approach your life.

About Me
I have lived in Brisbane Australia my entire life and I’m feeling a new cosmic pull. It is time to explore and embrace who I truly am and I believe travelling is the catalyst of understanding the self.

I have been described as a happy-go-lucky guy who is quite chill. I enjoy playing music and watching theatre, I have participated in the arts since I can remember and it has allowed me to see the world through a creative lens.

I love the little things, nutrition, exercise and going out for coffee. I'm a very easy going person and can get along with people really well, I love being outside and spending my afternoons drinking wine in the park.

Please hit me up if you have any questions! I would love to have a chat and experience part of the world with some new friends.

Ben.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couch surfing culture would open up the potential of meeting people and opening the world. I would like to meet some people who are curious and like minded who are involved in art willing to share their perspective and life through this lens, especially through music. Our time on this planet is very limited and if there is a place we go after we die I hope that I have done myself a favour and lived honestly and truthful in whatever moment life throws my way. Couch surfing will be the first step to a new life, to understanding culture, to loving more people along my journey, I hope that you can be part of that journey also and it would be so lovely to meet some life friends along the way.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm really easy going and very laid back so I won't be a hassle and I respect personal space. I will help out around the house and I am very tidy, I get in and get things done, I can cook for you and we can share meals. We can go around to some local markets and drink some wine together while we talk about our lives. I am respectful of peoples homes and I understand that I am a guest and you will be doing me a huge favour in my life by allowing me to stay with you, I promise I will show you as much respect as you have shown me. Also honesty goes a long way.
