biography[1]
Born in 1993, Ben has always dreamt about travelling. He went four times in United Kingdom , was in London , Oxford , Liverpool and even Bath. Yet he was later attracted by Germany , since he'd been also four times, in Nuremberg , then in Berlin , where he think he could live. His biggest dream is to do a big journey in the Southern hemisphere.

He was quite good at school and got the French baccalauréat with a Mention Bien. Thanks to that, he could go to university Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. He chose first to study physics, but he feared to be bored, and finally chose earth sciences.
Ben and THE DOCTOR[3]

Later, in 2010 , Ben got more interested in Doctor Who because of the appearance of a new doctor : Matt Smith . Though he always prefered the tenth Doctor , he found the new series very cool. Ben also likes Torchwood.

back in berlin
After his Baccalauréat, Ben had first decided, not quite sure, to go to England , wandering from a city to another on their feet, following Valentin, Oscar and Simon the blond, his high school buddies. Unfortunately, this trip never happened, because they were unprepared for such a journey. But Ben refused not to leave the country after he passed his final exam. So he did improvised : he heard that a friend of him : Soraya Khelfallah, was going to Germany in august 2010 with friends of her, all girls. Ben enventually went in Berlin a second time with them. Unfortunately for him, any of the girls could speak a word of German, or knew the place. Ben had to do everything, to plan all the trip, and he did not have fun a lot because, as an underage, he could not go into Berlin famous clubs. But the worst was that
the girls were mostly lesbians, and for Ben, who were gay, they were too different. They didn't understand at each other, and decided, the final day, to leave without a single "good bye". Nevertheless, he was enjoying walking in Berlin again, look at each street and each park. Berlin makes him happy. He even went to the university there, in order to know if he could, one day, study in Berlin.
