Hello, I'm Eline, a 23 year old girl from Holland. I live with my BF and three crazy Maine Coon cats, and work as a social worker with children. My hobbies include running, swimming, writing, reading and I love to go out with my friends, or see a movie. I also love traveling and meeting new people.

As a person, I really don't know how to describe myself. I have ADD so my mind is a very colorful but weird place, were many ideas form but not a lot of it is actually executed. (BUT: don't worry, if I promise to do/send something I ALWAYS do. I hate liars and cheaters) I like it this way, and would never use any medication, although it might make it easier, I love my creativity, impulsively, and I never worry to much since I can't concentrate enough to do so, haha. I love doing anything that broadens my horizon, love learning new things, new cultures, new foods ect. But I also like being alone, and need my alone time because I get very irritated if I don't.

Music is not something I'm very passionate about, although me and my Ipod are very much a pair :) I like different kinds of music, and I shows on my favorites: I love Katy Perry, Daft Punk, Norah Jones, Justin Timberlake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Fray, One Republic, Lifehouse, 30 seconds to mars, Lady Gaga, David Guetta...ect ect

I love reading! I like fantasy (Robin Hobb, David Eddings, Tolkien, Rowling, Jacqueline Carey), classic and romantic (Colleen MacCullough, Margaret Mitchell), and modern (I'm currently reading Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo, and am a big fan of anything from Donna Tart) And I love Isabelle Allende (I cry every time I re-read Paula, and that happens a lot)Basically almost anything, if it catches my attention the first 10 pages. I have an e-reader, which I use on vacation and there are more than 40 books on there :)

Romantic comedies must be banned! I love action, thrillers, animation, arthouse, comedies (but without the so-called romance please). My favorites: The Matrix, Wall-E, Terminator, Watchmen, Inception, Alice in Wonderland, Kick-ass, Phantom of the opera, Inglourious bastards, Avatar, Zombieland, Shutter Island, Lord of war, Tropic Thunder, Paris je t'aime, Pulp fiction, The Imaginarium of doctor Parnassus, The simpsons movie, Resevoir dogs, Zwartboek and so much more!

Really like shows were I actually learn something: Criminal minds, Dexter, House, Flash forward. Or just funny: Big bang theory, South park, Scrubs, How I met your mother, The Simpsons, The office. My guilty pleasures are Say yes to the dress and anything on the E! channel. But I only allow myself to watch that crap when I'm sick or bored out of my mind. For some reason it's addictive. And I love documentaries, the 'True life' series of MTV and the Discovery Channel.

I always rate as soon as I have received something, and I really hope you do the same. I try to re-use packaging, and never decorate it because of curious post-office people.

If I receive something that I find I have no use for (like ribbons ect.) I will swap it with someone else, because I think it such a waste for me to keep it when someone else may want it.

If I press the 'I send my stuff' button, that means your package/postcard is in the mail. So if you don't receive anything, please contact me and I will resend!

Uhm…this is pretty much it, I guess. If you are looking for a penpal, of want to do a private swap, I would love that, so please contact me!

I am in the slow and stressful process of buying and moving to our first home, so I'm not really active on swap-bot until that is done. Could be a couple of weeks or maybe even months, but I will be back! [and of course I complete every swap I sign up for!]
