Description
Hi there, pleasure to meet you!
My name is Ben, I'm 28, from the UK and looking to travel around SE Asia from September. I'm taking a break from corporate work, where I work inlow carbon energy - the environment is important to me!
I'm looking forward to meeting new people, exploring different places, learning about different cultures and have fun while doing it. I'm responsible, fairly easy going, open to trying new things and experiences, and love helping people. Big fan of the outdoors & hiking, cooking, meditation, running, problem solving and learning new things.
Fun previous experiences include working at an american summer camp looking after kids, helping to build a water system in a remote Nepalese village and being a freshers week helper while at University. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in and help in any way I can, while having an exciting adventure!
