Description
Hellooo wonderful people! I am Ben :D
I have a degree in Teaching Languages (English Primarily) and have taught English in Hong Kong, Morocco, India, Colombia, and Ecuador so far. Now I'm on a journey to travel the whole world seeking to learn new skills, languages, and gain a better understanding of other cultures and lifestyles.
I enjoy sharing the road with other travelers and sharing wonderful memories with them (check my photos below).
