Overview
About Me
I recently quit my job after years of burnout and am taking time for myself to rest and travel. I enjoy quiet places. I do not smoke or drink.
I love to learn about traditional crafts. While studying woodworking, I fell in love with making things using hand tools.
I've done spoon carving while learning about slöjd as well as French marquetry using a chevalet. My next project is restoration of a desk that was converted from a square piano in the early 1800's.
I've also dabbled in stained glass, metal engraving, enameling, drawing, painting, ceramics, needle felting, origami, papercraft, cross stitch, and more.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To find community at home and abroad
Interests
At home, I go to the arcade twice a week to play Nostalgia, MaiMai, and ITG/DDR. I spend my evenings knitting or crocheting while watching TV (usually non-American shows) with my family.
