I departed from Japan after a year of teaching and exploring. I spent October 2008-April 2009 living, working, and learning at North House Folk School, a nonprofit learning center focused on traditional crafts and sustainable living. My home was a little yellow house right on campus, beside Lake Superior. It was an amazing winter and although I'm no longer living there, I don't think I will ever leave. I remain involved with occasional visits, classes, volunteer opportunities (check out the new website John and I built at www.northhouse.org!), and what have you.
While there, I spent my time assisting with work around the school (from taking photographs to writing and editing publications to hosting visitors to washing toilets to taking lots of classes), as well as picking cranberries at the bog to make fresh sauce, playing music, skiing, dog sledding, and so much more.
