Hello fellow swappers!
I'm a 19-year-old high school girl living in Finland. I'll finally graduate this December WO-HOO!! :D I don't really know what I'll do after I have completed my studies, but my dream is to travel around the world and apply in uni in abroad!(needs loads of money though, and hanging here on Swap-bot dosen't really help with the saving xD)
I love snail mail and writing letters because it's a great way to meet new & interesting people and learn many things
It's such a pity that snail mail is considered so old-fashioned and all that you get in your mail box is bills after bills.. Letters&postcards make everyday a special day!
At the moment I am not looking for new penpals(I already have enough ´w`) or accepting private swap requests(I'm really tight on money at the moment) sorry!
Among snailmailing, my other big passion is paranormal phenomena. I'm utterly amazed by all the different things the world(and the after-world!) has to offer us.
I would say I'm interested in many alternative things. I don't go with all the mainstream beliefs and I believe rather than just simply learning things at school/on the TV,etc, we all should question everything and make our own conclusions, not blindly believe all the crap they teach us. I hate studying but love learning!
I think you might get an idea that I'm quite a serious person if you read all the text above, and that's true. I enjoy serious and questioning discussions. Nevertheless, I have my easy-going and foolish side too (≧◡≦)
Some other sides of me are that I like learning different languages and I´m very interested in Asian cultures and countries(especially East Asia) I love learning about history and I like to wonder how the world and life was back then. I usually get lost in the wonderful world of the Internet and spend more than half of my free-time adventuring on the web! The Internet is the best thing I know of xD
I LOOOOVE the Korean boy groups JYJ and TVXQ
), and watching k-dramas, studying Korean

Postcards
I'm collecting all kind of postcards, especially old(late 1800's~early/middle 1900's) ones. For any cards, I like if they're written and stamped on, but I also collect blank ones.
My favorite PC themes are:
Asian culture, people, history, traditions
Any historical theme
Religions (Buddhism, Hinduism,,,etc)
Chinese Traditional architecture
Architecture
Futuristic buildings or anything futuristic
Elephants
Temples, churches and mosques
Military
Black-white or sepia
Night view
A Tourist PC of your city or country

I like my cards naked without envelope :)
Stamps
I recently started to collect post stamps, so I would be more than happy if you used stamps instead of "postage paid"-labels ^_^
P.S. for post stamp swaps, I don't really like bird or flower stamps (I already have dozen of them)
Priority Labels
I'd be glad if you included a few unused priority labels from your country in the mail
(you can get them for free in your post office!)
I always send the swaps out, and if I send late, I make sure to inform you first. So please, if you haven't got anything from me, contact me first before rating so I can make my best to solve the problem.
I usually send my packages in the economy class to U.S.A. and Asia.
Economy class takes usually 2~4 weeks to arrive.
No rating from me= I haven't received your swap.
I will post pictures of my incoming mail onto my snail mail blog. I always censor your address. If you don't want your mail to be shown on my blog, please let me know.
I try to reuse packing materials as much as possible(it does not only save the environment, but also my wallet XD). As much I love swapping, there are times when I receive things that aren't really to my liking, so I might re-sent them to someone else who I think would appreciate them more than I do!
