CURRENT MISSION

Travel every single speck of the planet (Ok that might be an exaggeration). To experience all the beautiful culture this world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

Hi all,

I am a passionate winemaker and with this wonderful job comes many opportunities to travel and meet incredible people. Couchsurfing has been mentioned more than once in my travels and seems a great way to meet new people and experience everyone's unique cultures.

I have worked and lived in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and now France. Each place is equally amazing and I am hoping to see more.

Come by any time I am at home or anywhere in the world that I am currently crashing and get treated to some lovely wine and delicious food! All winemakers claim to be able to cook, something about working with our taste buds. But we do all LOVE food and I am no exception! You can go all master chef or just enjoy the wine, whichever you prefer.

PHILOSOPHY

You will most likely be amazed by a new experience, or most definitely learn something, and that's why we're here!

Music, Movies, and Books

All music except country, have to draw the line somewhere. Bluegrass and folk is awesome though. No current pop either please.
Books, will read anything but prefer the classics. Some of my favorite writers: Vladamir Nobokov, Ann Rayn, Jeffrey Euginedes. Would love recommendations.
Movies, favorite directors: Stanley Kubrik, Tarentino,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From Death Valley, California, to the great outback of Oz, and the beautiful Alps of New Zealand crashing into the blue, blue Tasman Sea, I think we truly live in a beautiful world. So let's see some more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my ideas and culture, not only from California, but the others I have merged from the other countries I have lived in. For me, a lot of cultural identity is displayed in expressions of music and food. I would love to share what I have learned these aspects and continue to learn from others.
