Ben welcomes you!
I'm a friendly, open-minded person who loves to travel and to meet new people. I think of myself as a very sociable introvert, as I'm also quite independent and relish some alone time. I've lived in three countries and four U.S. states and have lived with a lot of different roommates over the years, so I'm good at getting along with folks and am thoughtful and respectful in other people's spaces. I spend my work days doing social justice work, which I find very meaningful, and also love to to travel, read, cook, garden, and do pretty much anything outdoors including hiking, camping, sailing, and kayaking. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID, and am a non-smoker. benepict

Because we foster the largest community of global gay travelers, we want to ensure all are welcome anywhere we go. Full apartments are in high demand around the world. To help ensure you can travel and feel welcome anywhere, in addition to our gay and gay-friendly hosts, we’ve selected agencies to offer apartments in cities across the world.
Because gay is in our DNA we ask each agency to affirm their welcoming attitude and acceptance of our community by agreeing to the charter below:
Agency Charter
- Checking this box certifies that the management and staff of your agency welcome all people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression
- Further, you agree to challenge homophobic and transphobic behavior and ensure a positive and welcoming environment for our guests
- Through a courteous attitude, excluding judgment, your agency will work to ensure a peaceful stay for its LGBTQ+ clientele (information, safety, quality of service and discretion)
Stay like a gay local and feel welcome anywhere you go - misterb&b
