I never know what to put in these about me sections. I love urban landscapes and photography and music and languages. I read obsessively, I work at a hospital, I’m trying to be a writer, I have two dogs and two cats, I’m 26 years old, and I am a girl

I have netflix & hulu - any recommendations?

I'd like to get things that are particular to you, your hometown, city, state, province & country. You can send me your recipes, music you’ve made, postcards from your local tourist attractions and things that hold significance to you. I'm dabbling in many crafts and art forms, please share your ideas, tips, advice and techniques with me. ATCs, Zines, Book binding, Graphic Design, Letter Press, Rubber Stamp Making, Typography, Mixed Media.... I'd love to hear what you have to say. I’d like crafting bits too!

I like the Korean, Japanese, Mexican and French cultures and would like items from those places. If you want to help me with my Korean/Spanish/French I'd love that too.

I’m not a fan of twilight, vampires, werewolves, horror, ghosts, zombies, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Sillybands, Americana, religious symbols/items, diddl.

I don’t like homemade items unless they're made very well. I would appreciate items that aren't dirty and obviously used. I don't mind re-gifts, but please only send things you would like to receive.

I'm also allergic to pineapple and kiwi. I’m not sure how this plays into swaps, but I figured I’d let you know
