If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?
maybe
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I've been working as a small town barista and barista trainer since 2005. I've really come to enjoy the combo of art and science, the details and creativity that comes with being a barista. I'm working on building the confidence, finer skills, and a sig. drink to try a barista competition. (Which I am not quite sure will happen anytime soon.)
I think I would bring passion to an exchange, I really do love coffee. I also think I would bring a big willingness to learn and to share my own knowledge. And of course I could bring a smile. )
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Not sure yet. I'll let you know.
About Me:
I work full time as a barista and trainer. I am a college student part time, slowly working my way through school. I am 26 and live on my own with a dog to keep me compeny. I am really involved with my church, and plan to enter the ministry someday.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
Being connected to people all over the world.

    Yeah, I was hanging around the espressoparts booth, but I had to leave because it's super packed today. I will be around all day tomorrow as I have a couple classes. The trade show is insane, it overloaded my brain after three hours. My oter buddies should be in town tonight, so the five of us will be palling around. If you have Internet access, send me a message an we can say hi! (I have mobile Internet)
