My name is Ben Feltmate. I'm a 23 years old Canadian, fresh out of University and I've dedicated this year of my life to travelling the world and living life to the fullest. I am 

To make this trip happen, I saved up for 4 years by spending less than $25 cdn per week on all of my food. I ate a LOT of stirfries. Unfortunately, after all of that effort, I have lost an enormous amount of my savings due to my passport being ruined, getting robbed and being denied access to a flight for want of a special ETA visa that I didn't know about. 

I am raising money to first and foremost afford food and a place to stay until I can get to New Zealand where I have a working visa and will be able to get a job and support myself again. I am also a youtuber and the second use of the money will go to getting a better laptop as the one I currently am using crashes very often and is very frustrating to work with. My gopro is also falling apart and any money left will go to getting a new one so that I can bring my viewers along on the most extreme of my adventures yet.

I need the funds as soon as possible as I am landing in Australia in three days with $500.00 to my name.

Any donation means the world to me. This trip has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember and after all the hardwork it took to save up and put this together, I don't want it to end because of a few accidents and bad people in the world. I also want to tell my story in the best way possible to try and inspire others to take a leap of faith and go on the adventures they have dreamed of themselves. Any contribution is a direct contribution to me living the dream.

I introduce myself with "At your service" to everyone I meet and I mean it every time. I will be extremely thankful for any help and if there is anything I can help you with, day or night, I'm at your service.

Thank you so much,

Respectfully yours,

Ben Feltmate
