I am very interested in wine culture and vinification. Before I left for my travels, I worked for a winery in Napa Valley as a regional brand ambassador throughout the state of California. In addition to my day job, I am also a wine educator with the WSET program at a local wine school. In my spare time, I am trying to learn Spanish so I am better able to connect/communicate with more people when I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an extrovert to its truest sense and I love to meet new and interesting people. I enjoy traveling and plan to take a 'gap year' in the next couple of months to explore new countries near and far. I hope to welcome people to Napa and that I get to share similar experiences with people I may meet along my journey. I am only looking to be friends with the people I meet though CouchSurfing and nothing more as I am in a very happy relationship.

Wine, culture & travel. I love to go out to dinner/drinks with friends, I also enjoy staying at home cooking and entertaining, I am happiest when I am hiking or exploring the outdoors, I love playing games and sports, or just taking day trips around the Bay Area.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach someone about wine.
I would love to learn to be fluent in Spanish.
I would love to share good company with fellow travelers looking to explore wine country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am excited to meet new people on Couch Surfing. I can share good conversation and advice on things to do around Napa Valley. I am happy to have snacks and wine on hand for the evenings and some light breakfast options for the morning time to fuel you up before you start your adventures. I have a dog who is rather friendly but can be skittish around new people. I work during the week days and prefer to not have people stay at my house while I am not there for fear of the dog accidentally escaping when people come and go.
