Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi, I'm Ben! I am an adventurer and a kind human. I love to learn about people, their places, and their stories. By day, I explore, lend helping hands, and learn new skills. By moonlight, I'm a passionate entrepreneur and avid stargazer. And by twilight, I'm a sunrise and sunset connoisseur! :)

Why I do I want to travel? Because exploration gives me a sense of awe and thrill; because there's so much beauty and good and wonder in this world to experience and enjoy; because I want to be a part of helping the people of our world heal and reconcile, helping us all understand each other's hearts and stories; and because I want to learn along with and from others as I evolve into the very best human I can be!
