I'm mourning the loss of my grandma.

updated on February 1st.

I got a new addy on January 2012, feel free to update your address book ♥

I'll be sending my owed tags during the next weeks, thank you!

Hi everybody.

I'm Daniela, a very curious girl from Chile. I'm 26 years old.

and I'm happily studying to be translator.

I'm on summer holidays and I'll be spending a few moths at home ♥

I live with my beloved Mum and Lila, a lovely (crazy and misanthropic!) German Shepherd mix (a rescue female dog) we're cat people and our life with Lila is a bit difficult but we dear her very much! Lila is always doing tricks and my poor mum is losing her head, doggie treats are welcome.

I like politics (leftist) but I cannot talk about it because I lose my mind easily.

I love books and films. I'm a postcard collector. I'm trying to enjoy the simple things of life but it's kinda difficult! I enjoy good readings, long walks, watching and listening tango, Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, good music, English and Russian, cats, black, red and a bit of pink colours, romantic comedies, drinking tea. I cannot live without chocolate. I'm a worldwide chocolate hunter :)

I'm not good at crafts but you're free to send some supplies to my very crafty Mum, she likes colourful tiny beads, buttons and souvenir timbles! Mum loves sewing by hand and she is always making bags and coinpurses.

I prefer pretty and useful items than just prettier stuff - quality over quantity!

There is no love sincerer than the love of food, George Bernard Shaw.

I'm an almost vegetarian girl. I like to try new things and flavors. I'll be happy if you send me some delicatessen from your country. I'm very courious about food!

I adore chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate but I'm open to new flavors (no liquorice, please!) I like sweet and salty snacks and I'm a bit crazy about cookies (with brown or white chocolate chips are my faves) I like to eat them with a cup of tea or coffee.

I also like things filled with strawberry and orange flavor - I also adore jam ♥

Lindt and Ritter Sport chocolate are always (and totally) welcome!

I don't like liquorice and spicy flavours on sweet things.

as I've brackets back my teeth - do not send hard candy/chewing things, please.

I'm getting into Russian literature lately.

I love books by Yukio Mishima, W.S Maugham, Paul Auster, Jane Austen and Ian McEwan, my faves books are: On Human Bondage, Crime and Punishment, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Atonement, Pride and Prejudice and Mr Vertigo.

and Chekhov's short-stories full my soul of happiness.

I really love cinema. I especially like foreign movies and following some filmmakers careers. I adore books about cinema and filmographies.

I'm crazy about Luis Bunuel and Woody Allen movies, yes, very different styles! I like Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski and François Truffaut films. I'd love to watch others movies by Igmar Bergman. I also love Hayao Miyazaki's movies.

I'm a very eclectic person and I enjoy different sounds.

at the moment I'm listening to punk rock groups, especially The Adverts.

David Bowie, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, The Clash, Astor Piazzolla, Cream, Jeff Buckley, Gogol Bordello, The Beatles, Joy Division, Interpol.

I always send my pacels by registered mail.

I WON'T be getting any item or fulfilling any request before our private swap is officially set, is NOT fun to spend time and money in a never-happened swap, sigh!

I'm from the end of the world and the mail takes a while to arrive to your home.

I'd like to have plenty of time to send a swap - I don't like to feel under preasure (the history of my life!) it's better when you enjoy choosing things for your partner ♥

as I'm on vacation, I'll be able to rate you sooner.

and I recycle bubble envies and paper if it is possible.

I'm going to send my late mail soon, thank you for your patience :)
