About Me

I live in Perú (South America) and proud of my culture. Here you can find some of the best food in the world, some of the most colorful festivals,the best food, some of the worst driving, and quite a few thieves.


ABOUT ME

I am a child at heart (even though I am 29), a graphic designer, creative and easily distracted, which can be explained by my ADD. (or is it the other way around?) I am open to other religions and ways of thinking and I love trying out new things. However, I don´t like to be forced into a way of thinking. I currently want to learn more about Buddhism.

WHAT I PLEDGED

I will always rate a swap as soon as possible. If I feel you deserve a 1, I will mail you beforehand to talk things out.

I send out swaps before or on the send date. If I am to be late for a swap, I'll PM you, promise!

If you didn´t receive a package from me, please message me before rating me.

Thank you for the lovely WTA soooooo many goodies! I look forward to trying the pudding but might save it as a dessert over Thanksgiving or take it to my partners parents house at Xmas party. The fabrics are simply lovely especially the white & purple sheer. I have no idea what I'll use it for but its very pretty.
