Hi all, my name is Ben. I’m a Michigander living in Chicago who has a passion for human culture and new places, and more than that, new experiences. I have degrees in archaeology and writing, pursuing a career in the latter. However, I never quite lost that passion for archaeological theory.

For the past 15 years, I’ve been living and travelling through Asia, Europe, North and South America , documenting ancient sites and the cultures who built them, then adapting them into practical archaeological travel information at PathsUnwritten.com.
