Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

Three years ago I worked at a Dude Ranch in Wyoming - HF Bar Ranch - as a barista making espresso drinks on a used machine (I don't remember the specs). Since then I practice on my brother's espresso machine whenever I visit him but generally I am an espresso consumer.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

We're hoping to stay put, but would gladly host a visiting barista to Cambodia!

About Me:

I was a barista at a ranch in Wyoming for 4 months 3 years ago, and am now helping jumpstart a social enterprise cafe in Battambang, Cambodia at a community/co-working space. We're hoping to train local staff, but are new to this ourselves. We'll need as much advice as we can get!
