ABOUT ME

I grew up in Napa Valley California, and study Viticulture and Enology (Wine) at University of California Davis. I just finished working vintage at Church Road Winery in Hawkes Bay and have some time to travel New Zealand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Almost all of my favorite travel experiences have happened through couch surfing. It's great to meet local people and get a real sense of a place and what it is like to live there.

Interests

I make my own wine , I love just about anything that gets me outdoors. Triathlons, rock climbing, snowboarding, water polo, kayaking and rafting. Some people eat to live while I live to eat and drink. I love local products that capture the identity of a place, it can be wine, beer, cheese, chocolate, coffee or just about anything else. Finding unique and interesting local foods is what Spurs me to travel.
