krizia

I'm a 25-year-old Italian girl and I work as a journalist. I love being in touch with people from all over the world and getting mail everyday. It makes my day better, I'd say more colorful. I've been penpalling since I was tenish, so it's been a loooong time! Unfortunately I don't have that much free time. I always send my swaps within 24-48 hours. I have not receive any 1's yet, but if that happens, please e-mail or message me immediately and we will figure something out. I always rate too. If you haven't received a rating from me yet, it means I haven't received your swap. Instead of rating 1, I prefer waiting a little bit longer.

Update: 10/29/11: Hey everyone, I am surfing on internet using my BlackBerry. I am so sorry for not having been on line since the 23rd, but as some of you know, my grandma, who is the most important person in my life, is dying at the hospital. I am spending all my time over there trying not to let her go, even if I understand she is very very tired and she doesn't want to live in pain anymore. This is the reason why I couldn't assign partners on time during my last 2 swaps. Of course I extended the deadline as soon as I was able to went on line. I didn't like pressure from the people who were attending the swaps and instead of asking the reasons why I did not sign in for a couple of days, simply wrote bad comments and kept asking to assign the partners. I am totally in swapping, but sometimes there are other things in life more important than sending a postcard on time. At least, this is what I think.

Thank you again for all of your patience and for the e-mails I got from some lovely people. I really appreciate it. Thank you from my family too.

Please feel free to write me or adding me as a friend.

Guess what:

1- Mailmen DON'T work on Saturdays anymore, cause Italian post offices don't have enough money to pay them.

2- Prices raised:

a- to Europe from 0.65 to 0.75

b- to America, Asia and Africa from 0.85 to 1.70

c- to Australia from 1.00 to 2.00

That sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here there is the list of flakers! I am sick and tired of not to say anything just to be polite!
