CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to take some workshops in new massage techniques in San Francisco

ABOUT ME

I live in Arcata, Humboldt County. I have 1 dog. No kids. I am hip but homee. I like to garden, explore the woods, cook, ferment things, make cheese, make art, sew. I do massage just about full time. I'm very tity and fairly quiet. I defy human catagorization.

PHILOSOPHY

I just try to do the best that I can. Be as present as I can. Try not to let other people's trips get under my skin. I try to take good care of myself and the people I cherish. Simple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the couchsurfing project. It seems great. Maybe I can take a surfer occasionally. I make a fine housepest. A neat, sweet, massage therapist and cook.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed in a few chaotic punk houses where no one seemed to be certain who really lived there or not.
I've enjoyed the kindness of friends. I've brought home travelers I've met.

Interests

I like food and art. I enjoy humans from time to time. I love the wild places in the world and the mind and heart. I enjoy the world of plants and healing. I love the ocean and water of all types. I love random beauty placed or experienced in unsuspecting places. I love the sound of train horns in the distance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a varied sort of taste. I like movies that couse some sort of movement in my brain and heart. I like the authors Niel Gaiman, Isabella Allende, Jack Keroac, Alan Watts, etc, Mostly though I read lots of herbal ref and non fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life has been more a series of small sweet miracles rather than any one thing that is terribly astounding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair bit about herbs and human health. I know lots of massage techniques. I know alot about nutrition. I'm a fine gluten free baker and I can make a bit of cheese. I know quite a bit about growing food and preserving it. And I know some about emergency first aid. I also know quite a bit about yoga and therapeutic movement.
