Hello!

My name is Ben and I have a History Degree (Honours), having graduated in 2009. History is a great interest for me and I enjoy reading about all eras. However I am also starting to pursue a keen interest in travelling and I have begun a personal travel journal to document the places I go and experiences I have.

In the past few years my most recent travels have taken me to Switzerland, Nevada in the USA, and Romania. I hope next to travel the length and breadth of Europe within the next few years.

I joined Suite101 in July 2011.

Writing is a something I have a love-affair with, and I hope one day to have published a series of successful novels.
