Hoamsy is a home for small creators in your community to share their skills and passions with others. It's the place for "home made" events. Whether it's learning to make sourdough with that neighbor who runs a home bakery, exploring ceramics from that authentic artist making everything from their home studio, or exploring ice climbing in the mountains a few hours north with that dude that's almost too adventurous, it's all here. Hoamsy is a place for people who want to explore the wide variety of life that's all around them, and want to do it in the most authentic ways. Nothing processed and mass produced. It's small batch, bespoke experiences, created and hosted directly by the people in your community doing these things every day. There's roughly five categories of experiences you'll find on our platform. Food and Drink experiences involve diving into everything from making cultural dishes, to holiday cookie decorating. Arts experience will have you exploring texture painting one day, and linoleum block printing the next. If you start looking for Crafting you'll find some awesome leatherworking where you can make your own custom bags, clutches, and wallets, or you might find some sculptural candle making. Active experiences will have you running outdoors to go foraging with a local expert, or maybe some yoga on the beach. Lastly, Casual experiences will have you competing in puzzle races and opening up to tarot. If you're thinking that you sound like the kind of person who might offer this kind of experiences, then we invite you to join us as a host. You can reach your whole community, and share what you love by offering your experience on Hoamsy. You'll be surprised how many people learn to love your passion too! Now, if you've read this far, might as well give it a download and shot. We're a little jealous of the adventures you're about to have.
