My name is Soledad, I'm Spanish and I've been penpalling for over 20 years and swapping for almost 15 (fb's, slams, decos, lyrix, viewcards, stationery and some more things).

Some random facts about me:

• I'm superstitious. Some things give me bad luck and I feel I have to rid of them.

• I'm afraid of spiders (big ones, not the long legged)

• I write short stories which I usually left unfinished.

• I can't swim.

• Apart of Spanish, I speak English and French. I tried German but it defeated me. Now I want to learn Japanese.

• I'm quite useless at crafts. I only make some decos, slam covers and things like that. However, I've tried some ATCs and I quite like it :) I need to make a lot more before I dare to join a swap, though.

  And that's all I think, I'm not allergic and I'm not too picky :) I love receiving things from different countries, especially if they're things I can't get here.
