How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?

Most importantly, I would like someone for whom I've given a massage to leave with a peaceful state of mind - to feel at ease, no urgency, no stress, no worries. The relaxed, loose, light feeling from the full body massage will stay much longer if accompanied with a mental state to compliment. If worry/stress/fear/frustration take the helm, your body will tighten up. I would want a client to leave a session with me feeling mindful, clear-headed, and peaceful in the present moment.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?

If I were to give advice to someone who wanted to be a masseur I'd tell him first to be sincere. Much of the benefit of getting a massage comes from the connection between the masseur and the client, and you can't establish that connection without being sincere. Then I'd tell him that, just like with everything, there is both the good and bad; that it is very important to be safe and alert. Also, I'd say not only to be sure to set clear and communicated boundaries with your clients but also stand by them when crossed. Finally, I'd say to enjoy it - that in a world more and more reliant on impersonal technology, and the unfortunate result of pushing us away from each other, being able to meet another guy in person and provide the sensation of touch to him helps reconnect you with unadulterated human connection without tech.

How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?

I travel as much as I can, so much so I made a commitment to myself in May of 2020 to go to someplace new that I've never been once a week and I've kept up with it for over 2 years. They tend to be shorter trips but I also enjoy travelling far, on longer trips too.

Traveling gives you a chance to experience something new, can a break from your daily life, and it allows you to view yourself outside of your environment to see how your environment affects you. You can learn a lot about yourself when traveling. It's a blank slate of sorts so its easier to step outside your tendencies and habits.

I like travelling with people but I almost prefer to travel alone, that way I can have the time to explore, moving at my pace, and experiencing things through my own eyes.... not to mention meeting new guys in a different location and that is easier to do alone. 🙃😇
