  • Thanks to family members formerly in the airline industry, Ben has been lucky enough to be traveling around America since he was very young. He was one of those kids escorted on and off the plane by flight attendants.
  • Ben traveled to a number of European countries to learn about different cultures as a teenager thanks to the People 2 People Student Ambassador Program. He returned to the continent in college to study abroad in London, England and explore even more European cities.
  • Back in America, Ben has driven from Philadelphia, PA to Los Angeles, CA (with a six-year break in Chicago, IL), as well as up and down both coasts. As a result, he has seen some of the most interesting roadside attractions, local landmarks, and pop culture locations that this country has to offer.
