I'm a self employed massage therapist of 25 years. Hands-on healing arts have been a passion, as there is nothing better than relieving pain for someone.
I'm ready to travel out of US and once again visit other countries, meet the people and not just be a tourist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and to travel on a low budget. I have a nice home to offer comfortable and safe lodging.

Interests

investigating conspiracy theories, whistle blowers, little-known facts, Truther movement, alternative news medias, and making up my own mind. There is tons of valuable info and a lot of disinfo as well.

Diet and health are an interest as that is what keeps me feeling good. Quality of food is important, as GMO's, pesticides, fluoride, etc. are quite dangerous.

Sailing is a huge hobby. I crew on a racing team on a large lake during the winter when the wind is strong. I learned I'm an adrenaline junkie! I have my own sailboat also but don't race it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the steps of IMOGIRI in Yogakarta, Java with a group of teenagers in total blackness during a pilgrimage of muslims. This group of teens took me on as a special guest to show me around the area. No common language did not deter the delight of us all to playfully tiptoe through the darkness peeking into the ceremony of honoring the royals buried there by the Muslims. For a week they took me to meet their families and explore their favorite places. I had no money to give them and they didn't ask either. I had just enough to get home.
