A Soft Start Far From Home

Hello and welcome! 👋

My name is Ruth. I’m 27, originally from Indonesia 🇮🇩, and I recently moved to New York. Life’s been a mix of excitement, homesickness, tiny joys, and cozy routines.

I created this space to document the small pieces of my life from late night crochet sessions and quiet grocery trips to navigating what it means to live far from home.

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m here, learning as I go, and hoping some of what I share will feel familiar, comforting, or just interesting to you.

You’ll find a bit of everything on this site:
🧶 Handmade things I’m working on
✈️ Life abroad moments both beautiful and awkward
☕ My love for slow living and small joys

Thank you for being here. Let’s grow, create, and maybe unravel a few knots together.

Xoxo, Ruth
