CURRENT MISSION

A two-month cross-country round-trip road trip!

ABOUT ME

Former computer techie, currently changing careers - just got my massage therapy license! I'm a socially adept geek who tends to spend half my time starting at a screen, and the other half as far away from it as possible. Obviously, couch-surfing fits into the second part!

I'm driving across the country, with the goal of trading massages and massage techniques with therapists in every state I pass through!

PHILOSOPHY

To me, the primary value of any experience comes from who I share it with. Whether I'm watching a movie or going hiking, if I can't share it with someone else I probably won't bother to do it at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing, outside of a few short stays with friends.

Interests

I find massage and the human body endlessly fascinating! Also a big computer and technology geek. I also love chatting about all sorts of ideas, whether technical, political, or artistic.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like variety above all. I appreciate both summer blockbusters and indie documentaries. I tend to listen to instrumental, strange, or folk-y music, and read sci-fi/speculative fction, or stuff with postmodern elements. I also have a soft spot for graphic novels and children's books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Burning Man a few times. It was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to going back!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all about massage, and a bit about computers, math and science.

My travel goal is to trade massages and techniques with as many skilled practitioners as possible!

I would love to learn some hands-on mechanical skills, like how to maintain a bike or car, or perhaps some carpentry/construction skills.
