• I'm starter with the swaps, it interested me lot!! I think this is good way to find new friends and get to know other countries. I’m open to international and private swaps, so please message me if you would like to do private swaps!

• I hope you send me a Private Message if you’re not receiving my package. It might getting time to receive post here in Finland! I will send packages as an economy class, because it is little bit cheaper and it is more environmental friendly than first class, but it will take quite more time!

• I prefer doing swaps of things that I actually can use because I'm trying to cut down on clutter and waste.

• All environmental friendly things are very close to my heart! Please notice that, when sending me subtances.

• I'm 30 years old woman from Finland. My birth town is Rauma, it is in southwest Finland. Now I'm living in very small town called Virrat. My education is an environmental engineer. I'm an student in University of Jyväskylä, I do Master studies about environmental sciences and –technology. I can speak English, Swedish and German.

• I'm autumn child and I love it's beautiful colours! I also love sea - it is so peacyfull. I think, that's why my favorite colour is blue! I also like snow! Usually at the winter time, I go to Lapland to do skiing and downhill skiing! Summer time I swim and cycle a lot and rollerskate also hiking is nice! Next summer I will start practise paddling. I do like photography :-) I usually go and walk almost everywhere with camera!

• I enjoy travelling, but now I do not have lot of time do it. I have been in Hungary, Italy, Sicilia, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Estonia, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Thailand, Myanmar, Sweden, Norway, Åland and Russia.

• I love naturally bath and body things, without all the nasty chemicals..foot cream, shower gel, etc. which are mild perfumed. Favorite scents are almond, olive and chocolate.
