I'm a professional trainer, teaching people to better communicate, lead others, coach, self-motivate. That's at work, but there's more to life than work! When I'm not working, I enjoy wine, cooking, music (I play cello and bass guitar), languages (native English, fluent French, learning German) and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot for work, and it's much more interesting to spend a night or two with an interesting person than it is to stay in a hotel room on my own!

Interests

I'm a musician in my spare time, and love discovering wines from places I visit. They're my main hobbies, but I also enjoy discussing the world with someone for an evening and learning other people's points of view.

Teach, Learn, Share

I train in presentation skills, leadership and communication skills. I also play cello, bass guitar, and speak French. Happy to teach, exchange, or learn any of these.
