Ben is an experienced globetrotter having travelled extensively around Australia and the South Pacific, Central & South America, Europe and Africa. During these trips he has collected a smorgasbord of happy memories such as: drinking coke in a Mexican church to help burp out his demons; starring in an episode of Baywatch Hawaii with David Hasselhoff, swimming for his life from a swarm of sting rays in Queensland, appearing on Ugandan national TV doing keepy uppies with a football to promote HIV awareness, and running a bloody Mary cocktail bar in the middle of the Nevada desert.

In his spare time Ben enjoys scuba-diving, squash, football, whiff-whaff (aka table tennis), and being the greatest Scrabble player to have ever walked planet earth.
