Update December 2011: I haven't done swaps for ages due to sickness and uni workload. Once I have some time to breathe again I would love to do some swaps again.

I do ALWAYS send and rate swaps. As most of my swap partners are in the US I would just like to reiterate that it can take anything from 5 days to 2 weeks for mail to arrive from Germany (at least that has been my experience in the past). No idea why it can take so long sometimes. But my swaps are ALWAYS sent on time!

I love collecting unwritten/new postcards, ATCs, beermats, manga and some other things I just cannot recall right now.
I'm a big fan of paranormal romance novels as well regency romance. If the two meet and are maybe even turned into a manga I would be in heaven.

Postcards

I collect my postcards new/blank/unwritten and store-bought only. I prefer cards that are the size 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) because anything bigger doesn't fit my postcard sleeves and boxes. Themes I like include:

• City Views
• US states (any states so far!)
• US national parks
• US state maps
• Canada (states, cities, national parks)
• Single view tourist cards
