I´m married girl from South East Finland. I'm an engineer, who works as forwarding agent, but I still wonder what I will be.

I have been swapping for several years now. I just love receiving and sending mail. :) I started with FBs and decos, but swap mainly other things nowadays. It's great to receive something from other countries!

For sock swaps: my size is European 39-41. Please, if possible, send socks, which are mainly cotton or wool.

I´m always reading something, I love it. One of my favourite books is Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. I could read that book over and over again. I collet Merri Vik´s Lotta-books.

Some of my other favourites have been novels by Jonathan Carroll, Anna Gavalda, Jennifer Weiner, Sophie Kinsella, Joel Haahtela, Sujata Massey, Sarah Gruen, Mika Waltari, ...

I´m not so much into TV, but there is one I follow: Desperate Housewives. I also really like Madventures (it's Finnish).

My favourite movies are Amelie, Some like it Hot, Moulin Rouge, cartoons,... I like musicals a lot.

Besides swapping, I like letters, reading and cooking / baking. Lately I have been learning a little sewing and knitting. I like also candles, The Muppet Show, theatre, nice-looking tins, Moomins, hot chocolate (I wish we could have flavoured ones here!), black and white photos, retro, reusable shopping bags, musicals, polka dots, Love is..., Audrey Hepburn, Alice in Wonderland, zakka, autumn, handmade/natural soaps/shampoo bars (I love to make them too) and other body care products, surprises, matroyskas, art postcards, history, berries, decorating magazines, flea markets, cupcake theme, Christmas, etc.

I have studied, besides English, a little Swedish, German, Russian and Japanese. My dream is to travel more (and more) and I´m interested of other cultures.

Colours I like: red, chocolate brown, white, olive green, ... I like dark colours more than light, but there is no colour I'd hate.

I love tea. My favorite tea is flavoured black tea (please no peppermint or lemon tea). Bags or loose, both are fine. If you send loose tea, please list the ingredients, thought I don´t have any allergies. I just prefer to know what I´m drinking. :) I received some Tea Forté teas via swap-bot and really loved them (especially the Coco Truffle and Belgian Mint!)!

I love also chocolates, even more than tea. :) I like especially orange chocolate. Plain ones are my favourites after that, although I like also berries or nuts in chocolate. I prefer dark, but I´m not so big fan of white. I'm open to taste new flavours. I received some Pepperidge Farm Soft baked Dark chocolate Brownie cookies via swap-bot and I must say that I really love them!

I reuse packaging when it's possible.

I promise to send my swaps on time. If I can not, I´ll let you know about it before the deadline.

I´ll rate swaps as soon as possible when I have received them. And I promise to rate always, also in cases when I have received nothing, but I´ll PM you first. I hope that also you will rate my swaps and will let me know if my swap doesn´t reach you in reasonable time or if it wasn´t what it should have been - so that I can send you a new one. :) Please PM me before rating, if you haven´t received my swap! Thank you.
