Hi! My name is Aili and I was born in Washington, D.C. but have since lived all over the place, making the question of "where are you from?" quite difficult to answer. As a sommelier, personal trainer and former English teacher, I am currently pursuing my dream of being a winemaker with my own vineyard and label. To do this, I am traveling quite a bit to gain as much experience as possible; which is what brings me flying to Spain next week. I will be working at a winery starting 10 September but until then I would love to explore as much of Spain that I can!
I am outgoing and love meeting new people (one of the best gifts of my travels) but am very self-sufficient and truly enjoy my "alone time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard many great things from new friends about Couchsurfing so I thought I would try it and hopefully meet some kind and interesting people along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the first girl to dig out a tank at Zuccardi’s Piedra Infinita winery in Argentina :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about wine, fitness, diet and nutrition as well as helping people trying to learn English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so I am happy to help (if wanted) in the kitchen and of course, I always clean up after myself. I always have a bottle of wine to share :)
