Who am I?
About Me
My name is Ben and I began solo traveling in 2023 after leaving university and not knowing what career to pursue. What I did know is I always wanted something to look forward to and so began my 12 new countries in 12 months challenge for 2024. I started this blog to document the memories I make along the way and inspire others to go and make their own.
My first solo trip
New York city was my first experience of traveling solo as I was on my way to university on a football scholarship in Buffalo. While my time at university didn’t last as long as I had hoped it turned out to be very worthwhile as I found even in one of the most dangerous cities in the world I was able to experience everything I wanted to on quite a tight budget with little to no issues. This gave me the confidence to book more and more trips when I returned home.
How do i like to Travel
Whether it’s something to do, something to watch or something to see I am the type of traveler that is always doing something. It isn’t uncommon for me to spend less than a couple hours a day in my accommodation, do over 30,000 steps and forget to message people at home for days at a time. I enjoy everything from surfing to photography.from football to cards and coffee to cocktails.
