About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Explore, and Discover; who I am, my passions and pleasure . . . .

ABOUT ME

As a recent graduate from University I decided to begin a career in winemaking . . . . so far this adventure has taken me to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, the Western Cape, Australia, and has landed me on another journey in France for an indefinite period of time. I'm living, working and studying in Beaune, enjoying every moment. I'm not sure where this interest will take me - and there lies its beauty.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm on a mission to discover more about myself and understand where I want to focus my energy in life. Every day is a step towards this goal.

Being in nature, connecting with the world around me, traveling, working abroad, and constantly searching out new experiences is the best way to broaden my perspective

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe Couch Surfing allows people to travel and and create new experiences for themselves with a focus on substance. There is no better way to experience a place than with locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times and hosted once as well. I aim to couchsurf whenever possible in the future

Interests

Good food, better company, the outdoors, cooking, exploring, wine, surfing, mountain biking, coffee, meeting new people and sharing experiences. I enjoy any and all activities that bring people together.
