Traveling Winemaker/Wine Enthusiast. We don't really grow grapes in Oxford so I'm jumping between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere making wine and ripping it up on a pilgrimage. I'm inspired by people pushing themselves, trying to get the most out of life, by people breaking the mould and doing something different.
A raconteur who is to traveling the world telling and listening to stories.
I live my life with empty pockets, a full stomach and a full glass.
To me the most interesting thing on earth is people. The way we act, react, live our lives, submit and follow. The most evolved being but also in some ways the least.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I could stay in high end hotels where ever I went I would, but I haven't made it quite that far yet.
We hosted quite a lot at my flat in Oxford, always getting interesting people coming through with a story to tell, language permitting. I also like the idea of swapping my skills for a roof over my head instead of paying for a hostel. I can cook, I can talk rubbish, I'm good at hugging and i'll make you smile.

Interests

There's a movement in the wine industry at the moment pushing towards natural, low intervention wine making.
I believe in sustainable wine making and a sustainable lifestyle.
Keen yoga student, reaching a level of mind, body and spirit that I'm happy with.
