What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
I'm in Seattle and would love to jump around to other coffee shops and just be a guest barista there to get a hands-on education on varying techniques and theories. Let me know if you're interested. I also will be traveling through Northern California a lot, and would love to jump on a bar around there too.
