So I've been a barista for around 5 years now, after some recent inspiration I have decided to write my own personal barista guide and set of stories from baristas all over the world, I'm about to set off I on a four year tour of the world including coffee farms roasterys and numerous coffee shops everywhere I go I hope to work in a few shops and also on the farms and n the roasterys, any help/advice/stories anything that could help towards this book would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

That seems like a wonderful adventure. You might want to read similar books, like The Infinite Emotions of Coffee by Alon Y. Halevy. Dr. Halevy also heads Google database research and describes coffee cultures around the world and at Google.

Wow, what an adventure! Let me know when you make it to the U.S. I will be your local coffee guide, give you a sofa to crash on if needed! I'm sure you'll get this offer from other members as well. Safe travels! Bill

I did notice about cross posting but on the plus side I did my research and coffee geek seemed quite quiet and since posting here I have been in touch with a few people :)!
