Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I worked at a gem of a cafe/art gallery on the University of Washington campus for 3+ years, and enjoyed every minute of it. I am constantly working to master the art of espresso. Sadly, I just began hand-tamping not so long ago. I would like to have more time to improve my steaming, latte art, etc. I am fascinated by the nuances that each varietal brings to a cup of coffee/espresso.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Any and all. I would love to continue my travels in Latin America.
