My name is Silvia, I'm twenty and I'm studying at university to become a teacher for English, German and Art. I live in Germany and I love to travel more than anything.

I live for love, shared laughter, my friends, boyfriend and family, art and crafts, cooking and baking, good music and musical theatre, Australia, travelling, photography and polaroids, decorating, jewellery, vintage, coffee, learning about new cultures, swimming and it's not unlikely that pretty snail mail will completely make my day.

Pastel colours, aztec and tribal prints, white and turquoise and vintage finds, deers, owls and birds and Scandinavian designs, cameos, tea, the smell of cinnamon and coconut, nice handmade pencil cases, plain notebooks, beautiful vintage and floral patterns, old maps and postcards and books, nice fabrics and pillowcases, medallions, handmade dangly jewellery, vintage flower fabric, journaling promts, kawaii stationery, listening to your stories and experiences, Australia, hair accessoires with bows and pearls, Taizé, vanilla or caramel lipbalm, bows, black ink pens, cake and cupcake recipes, polaroid film (type 600), happiness quotes, making lists, mail art and trinkets, pretty notebooks, quotes and anything to brighten my day.

I'm not a big fan of neon colours, Gothic/ metal/ punk/ ska style, typical stuffed animals like teddy bears, cartoon characters like Spongebob or Looney Tunes, glitter, anything furry, cow pattern.

Absolutely anything with coconut, caramel and cinnamon. I love fruity candy, liquorice, gummies and chocolate with a filling, nougat (the Spanish or Italian ones). My favourite tastes are cherry, raspberry and mango but I'm not so very fond of artificial strawberry or banana flavour.

I absolutely love salty snacks like chips or nuts!

Feel good indie music, music to smile to, pretty much everything that has a heart and soul, piano and pretty female voices, guys and guitars, strings and deep, pretty lyrics.

Etsy favourites, minimal jewelery, polaroid film (type 600) because my polaroid camera needs some love and I need some time off the digital world, black, fashion, green or white tea (with exotic flavours), Stash Vanilla Nut Creme Decaf Tea, vintage jewellery (no silver jewellery), deco tape, rubber stamps, floral fabric, vintage or classic novels, handmade coasters and quilts, sweets from your country, handwritten quotes, black ink pens and whatever you put your heart in.

I absolutely love sharing my swaps with my boyfriend. If you have access to anything he likes, please feel free to pick something for him as well. He is interested in alternative lifestyles such as self-sustained living, cooking and baking using stevia and anything that has to do with learning how to tend a garden. He loves chocolates of all kinds and very much enjoys chai tea.

I drink lots of tea and I enjoy coming across new flavours. My favourites would have to be green and black tea. I like them in combination with fancy flavours or fruit infusions of all kinds. I like fruit tea that has more to it than just the usual ingredients (hibiscus, apple, blackberry, you name it).

I don't have any allergies except for camomile.
