my name's sam, i live in portland and i'm doing deep tissue/swedish/esalen there . . . it's fun but the winters suck! i used to live in santa cruz, then LA . . . it's hard to get through this long dark night that lasts like six months!

so i'm thinking to myself, how can i do this job, but abroad, like, use it to travel? does anyone of you have any experience working for any vacation companies or anything like that? i've tried contacting one or two people who do "yoga vacations" and asking them if i can be their personal massage therapist, for the clients . . . no luck yet, although i did have a few courteous "no" replies.

i also thought about working at various spas in Central America . . . i know the work's out there, i just don't really know where they are . . . or how they treat their employees, how much money you can make, etc . .

any info you could send my way would be awesome! please email me at my tribe address . . . or at relativelyharmless@yahoo.com

thanks!
