I am currently spending an extended period of time in Italy. I’ve travelled a lot and hope to experience many more amazing places in my life. I really enjoy meeting people from around the world, being open minded to differences and sharing thoughts, stories, food. Speaking of food.... I am very passionate about food and wine, I recently completed my sommelier certification and when I am home, in Brooklyn, I work as a restaurant manager/sommelier. I believe that good food and wine are best when they are shared and enjoyed with good people! I love interacting with different people, but I am also a rather independent person and will respect the privacy that you request as I would ask you to do the same for me. Hopefully we can enjoy a nice time and maybe some food and wine together :)

Music, Movies, and Books
