Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I started working at a local coffee shop three summers ago simply for what looked like a cool summer job, and absolutely fell in love with it. The shop I work at is not terribly high end, but they do care about the quality of their coffee, and there have been a few very knowledgeable employees whom I've learned a lot from. I'm currently trying to learn as much as I can, teach myself, do my own research, and just practice. I'd like to work at a shop that puts in a little more effort.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

West Coast US. UK, Germany, New Zealand. But really, just about anywhere.

About Me:

I'm going into my senior year of college at Mount Holyoke, out in Western Massachusetts. I'm just kind of a dreamer. I'm studying photography. I'm trying to write a book. I want to open a coffee shop someday. Etc etc.
