Benno Schulz

  • My name is Benno
  • I’m from Western Germany
  • This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek
  • I’m teaching tennis and soccer
  • I graduated from high school in 2023 and am now taking a gap year before starting at university. From January till April, I am going to be travelling around Southeast Asia. I am an independent photographer and love to discover new things and places, meet new people.
  • Early bird or night owl? I’m a night owl
  • If I had my owl late night talk show, my first guest would be Albert Einstein
  • My favorite holiday? Summer holidays for sure, best weather to travel.
  • If I could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would I choose? I think that’s a very tough question, but if i had to decide I’d probably choose Indonesia. It’s such a beautiful country with rich natural diversity and unbelievable landscape. I honestly don’t know whether this is the best choice, I could still imagine several more countries which would be so worth it to spend a year. But I will be able to judge better in April when I am done with my Southeast Asia travel. :D
  • My favorite way to get in some exercise? Definitely as a team or with friends. I think team sports enable you to gain more than just exercise time, you can also gain friendship, community and sportsmanship at the same time.
  • Fun Fact: I can be silly sometimes but I’d say that only makes me more sympathetic
  • What am I most looking forward to this summer? Working in the Falling Creek Community and enjoying work and life in such a great camp
