I spent 2017 traveling around Europe learning about viticulture and sustainability. Since then I have been in Oregon managing a 13 acre vineyard in the Willamette Valley.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's an incredible way to meet people and learn about their culture while also getting a place to stay!

Music, Movies, and Books

Super into eclectic music. Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, Tyler the Creator and Gogol Bordello have been on repeat over the last few months.
I loved fantasy growing up and still crush the occasional Brandon Sanderson novel, but now I'm more often interested in reading about philosophical history or natural farming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One night while I was Wwoofing in France we went to some ruins of an old Cathar castle. I got to climb around these ruins and perched, watching the sun set over the mountains of the Pyrenees. It is still one of my favorite memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a good bit about wine and philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a pretty unique perspective on many things. I'm a great listener and am always interested in new ideas and ways of living.
