Currently living in Alaska; 65 and in excellent condition as I like to work out frequently... almost every day....and I enjoy spending time at local spas with hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms. I traveled quite a bit in an earlier career, mostly throughout the Orient and Middle East. I worked as a part time Licensed Massage Therapist since 2005 until 2015, but now its a hobby for wellness, enlightenment, and communication. I love trading massages with hosts if they are so inclined, or I can just provide a treatment if it will help them. I'm open minded and non judgmental because everyone has their own life story...and I learn so much and grow by understanding those stories. I am always respectful of others, non smoker, very clean, and easy going...very adaptable and non demanding. I enjoy taking my hosts out to their favorite restaurants so we can relax and have time for good conversations. I'm a vegetarian,...absolutely love tofu, pasta, and pizza...and sweet wine like muscato is a fovorite. As a novice piano player, I play either to relax when I'm alone or to scare people away with my "talent" when I want to be alone :-).
