Description

Hello! My name is Ben. I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a master's degree in Fine Art. I live near Philadelphia, USA, and have also lived several years in New York City. I have had the good fortune to spend multiple months in several countries including Iceland, Russia, China, India, and Kenya.

I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing various cultures. I think it's fair to say that it's generally agreed by acquaintances and friends that I'm very young for my age. I enjoy hiking and biking and participating in a variety of sports, especially basketball, flag (American) football, softball and tennis. I'm also a fan of futbol, or as we in the States call it, soccer.

As an American citizen, I'm proud to say that I most definitely do NOT support the former president of the United States, Trump. I mention this here on Workaway since I am sometimes asked to explain my position on the subject of American politics--a subject that I generally prefer not to talk about.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1987, I worked as a features newspaper reporter and photographer for 10 years. Following that, I established an interior/exterior residential painting company that I owned for 12 years. I have experience in storytelling and public speaking. In art school, I specialized in contemporary sculpture, and was a teaching assistant for three years.

I have much interest in history, both ancient and modern. I was a docent for two years at a world-renowned archeological museum. I like history and nature documentaries, and documentary films in general. I was also a volunteer for two years with an environmental organization performing onsite research for three months in Kenya as well as coordinating the organization's social media.

Currently I will be traveling outside the United States for the foreseeable future thanks in large part to the incredible resource Workaway.

Non-smoker. Vegetarian/Vegan-friendly. Social drinker agreeable to a place that is alcohol-free.

Lover of all animals, especially cats and dogs. Fully vaccinated (double boosted).

As a former business owner, I understand the importance of a reliable, good-natured, responsible, hard-working, self-starter.

Please feel free to reply with any questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile!
