Description

Hello all, I’m Ben, 23, from the UK.
I’m looking to travel around British Colombia and Alberta from May 2026 onwards and experience as much as possible — through hands-on outdoor work such as farming, ranching, hunting, and exploring the outdoors, while meeting new people and learning from local life.

I’ll start by explaining why I’m taking this trip. For the last six years I’ve served in the British Army, and I’ll be leaving in March. I’m using this time to travel before settling into my next career.

I love the outdoors and staying active. I have a real passion for making, creating, and fixing things with my hands. My trade is carpentry, so I’m keen to give any job a go. I’m always eager to learn and develop new skills. I’m hardworking, honest, and open-minded.

Sport has been a big part of my life. I played rugby for as long as I can remember, but due to an ankle injury I’ve had to retire. That said, I still enjoy most sports, whether that’s watching or taking part.

I’m a big animal lover, especially dogs. I’m also a huge foodie and probably the least fussy eater you’ll meet — although this comes with a warning: I eat like a horse.

Before joining the Army, I worked for an oak frame building company. While serving, my trade was carpentry.

If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to message me and I’ll try my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
