I am a restaurant manager and wine and beer buyer. Boyfriend is a chef.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going to study restaurants, beer, and wine. Hopefully get to work in some breweries to observe the process. My boyfriend will be working in some pretty big kitchens in the U.K. and Europe, meaning he is a chef and it’s unpaid and they don’t provide room and board. He will also be doing it for the experience. This will be a great time all together to advance our careers, but extended stay will be hard to make ends meet. Also, I really want to get to know people, their way of life, daily routines, and culture in every possible way. Quit my job in San Francisco for love and moved to Montreal, now this is our next chapter. So don't want to go home anytime soon! We’ve been planning this trip for a long time and it's finally happening. We plan on traveling for up to a 7 months (fingers crossed) and going to need a little assistance with that. Anything you can do to make our trip feel like it's complete would be great even if it's just showing us around or giving us some good tips.

Interests

Love to travel (obviously)!! Coming from the restaurant business my passion lies in seeking out the best wine, beer, cocktails, food, and restaurants around. I frequent live music and karaoke. FUTBOL-watching and playing , love big cities, cooking, and anything Italian!
