User:(WT-en) Bennynoneck

I'm Ben. 23, living in Santa Cruz, California. Exploring the world (or talking/reading/thinking/dreaming about it) gets my chest a-thumping like few other things can. Places I've been: Canada, Mexico, Nicaragua, India, France, England, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia. Hoping to vastly expand that list over time. Currently on a typical mid-20's "what the fuck am I doing with myself?" backpacking trip from Jakarta to Beijing via SE Asia, Tibet, and Mongolia in Jan 2012 with my friend-since-childhood Josh. I'll have lots of questions about that, and I'm happy to answer any questions that I can about the places I've been.

I was a chubby baby (and stayed that way until I discovered the "being poor diet club" in college), which is where the username came from. Parents always called me Benny No Neck, which I think sounds like a mafia capo moniker.
