~ I've been busy sorting out urgent uni stuff, please bear with me while i catch up on giving ratings ~

I'm a 23 year-old young woman from England; I'm left-handed, a survivor, in love with a lot of things in life - especially with my Spanish boyfriend of three yrs!, friendly, cheerful, nonsensical, searches for inspiration and positivity in everything, non-materialistic, subjective, language learner, attention deficit, a day-dreamer with personality-type INFP. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Thanks to postcrossing.com and sendsomething.net I am now addicted to sending and receiving things in the post!! I hope that swap-bot will help feed my newly-found postal addiction!

I play gaiaonline.com and my username is choukaze
