Hi! I’m Ben, I am a college student at the University of Mary Washington. My biggest interest is in history and geography, although I decided to major in international relations. As a dual citizen of the United States and the Netherlands, I’ve been lucky enough to travel widely—most memorably through Egypt and Lebanon alongside my older brother. Until now, though, I’ve never ventured to South America or the Pacific. This site is where I’ll be documenting my journey through Easter Island and the wider country of Chile.
