I'm on a visa here in Spain. I thrive in nature. I like to learn about people. I like to hear people's stories. I like to cook. I'm a spiritual person more than a religious person. I like card games and am pretty rusty at chess but like to play. I love to farm and garden. I'm all about permaculture, biodynamic farming, aquaponics etc.. I like alchemy.

I'm trained as a massage therapist and enjoy the practice. I haven't been able to practice here in Spain as I don't have a work visa but if your feet hurt I don't mind doing some work on them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people, make friends, and get to know the community better. I also need a place to stay!
I made this account years ago and only stayed at a few places in America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun set behind the shrine off of Miyajima in Japan. http://ericinjapan.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/miyajima.gif?w=376&h=275
Imagine this shrine glowing in the sun, and friendly deer are nosing up against your leg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to give a good basic foot massage.
I want to learn how to build a lean-to.
I would share a meal.
