Ben always knew he wanted to go travelling since hearing the stories and exploits that his uncle experienced from his time travelling. However, he never thought about teaching English to get there. So with money for a plane ticket he moved to China to teach. When he started writing, it was only a way to communicate with family and friends to keep them up to date with his antics in a different culture, teaching and travelling. It turned into something much more, a way to document experiences both physical and emotional, from teaching in China to walking the Inca Trail in Peru. Without the extortionate price of living back home, he was able to save money so I could go to the places he's always wanted to go, to meet new and interesting people and to have an experience he would never forget. . . . . . .
