UPDATED June 18, 2021:
Looking to spend my birthday week in Laguna Beach (7/26-8/2) to soothe my soul in the Pacific, meet interesting people and escape the intense pre-monsoon heat.

I am living in Tucson and hope to travel again in January of 2022 when I expect to return to Thailand. I will undoubtedly explore some other countries before or after. Also have some friends in Portugal I want to visit and there is a train trip that originates in Portugal and you can go through Europe, Russia, China and finish in Viet Nam.

ABOUT ME

I am a practitioner of Thai Yoga Massage and an experimental organic gardener. I am semi retired. My career life was as a software engineer. I have practiced yoga and meditation since the early 1970's and have been a vegetarian since then as well. An interesting factoid is that I was an aerial dancer for about 7 years. That's also known as low flying trapeze.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and kindness. Be here now. Be Present. Enjoy the moment and the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2015 I used Couchsurfing.com while traveling on the West Coast of the USA and had wonderful experiences, making many new friends for life. I can only occasionally offer my space at this time but will continue to look to couchsurf first in all my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2015 was my first year using the website. I had the best experiences and met wonderful people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to trade 2hr Thai Massage sessions for a place in your home. You can Google ThaiYogaMetta to see more about me.

I am also trained in Permaculture and have been an 'experimental' organic gardener all of my life. I would be happy to help you make your home as sustainable as possible, work in your garden or help you design your garden or landscape.

I am also a good vegan/vegetarian cook.
