Masseur Interviews™

How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
As a massage therapist, my work and lifestyle provide me with opportunities to interact with different people, helping me understand the importance of balancing work and leisure. Regarding my travel frequency, I usually plan several short trips and one long trip each year. This allows me to relax and recharge, explore new cultures and landscapes, and gain inspiration and energy, which ultimately enhances my massage skills.When it comes to whether I prefer traveling or staying at home, I find both have their own charm. I enjoy traveling because it allows me to escape the daily hustle, immerse myself in new environments, and experience different lifestyles and cultures. Traveling also exposes me to various health and wellness practices, which is beneficial for my professional growth.However, I equally enjoy my time at home. Staying at home gives me the chance to focus on self-improvement, such as reading professional books, practicing yoga, and meditating. These activities not only contribute to my physical and mental well-being but also enhance my professional skills. Moreover, home is a place where I feel safe and comfortable, and I can spend quality time with family and friend
