Ben

Ben, 21, is from southern Slovakia, near the Hungarian border, where most of the people in his town speak Hungarian. Currently, he works as a courier and mover, but he dreams of joining the police force in the future, driven by a desire to make a difference in his community.

Ben enjoys biking and going to the gym. He has traveled to France, Greece, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, and dreams of visiting New York one day. He’s a kind and giving person, always willing to help out, and he values caring people. He doesn’t like those with big egos.

Although Ben would like to become more social and extroverted, he’s already very open-minded, easy to talk to, and curious to try new things. He was referred to me by a friend, and we met in Bratislava. We went for a walk and later sat down at a cafe. We got along really well, had lots of things to talk about, and seemed to agree on many topics, especially when discussing people and society. He seems fairly wise and mature for his young age, thoughtful and open-minded.

Even though he was completely up for trying something he’d never done before during the photoshoot, he was still a bit shy. He also didn’t expect there would be as much physical activity, especially when we took the outdoor photos.
