Hey there, swappers!

My name is Natalia, from Santiago, Chile. I'm 30 years old and I'm happily married. No kids yet. I live with my husband and our dog Chipolita. We're also taking care of my sister-in-law's cats Gatito and Warena while she's studying abroad.

I studied linguistics and English literature, so I work as an English teacher at a vocational school. I really enjoy teaching, I love my job! I did my master degree at the University of Birmingham in the UK. I spent around a year in England studying International Studies in Education and Development.

I also enjoy writing and I really want to devote more time of my day to do so. I would love to write a couple of books soon.

I'm really passionate about traveling! I've traveled to 30 countries...! Lucky me! The last one I went to was Brazil in July 2016.

I absolutely love all kinds of music, and I need to listen to music everyday.

These days I've been listening to several Chilean indie bands, and I'm always trying to support local artists. Some of the Chilean bands I've been listening to lately are:

• Planeta No
• Prehistóricos
• Marineros
• Protistas
• Niño Cohete

I don't have enough time to watch many TV-shows but when I do I prefer to watch comedy. I love Parks and Rec, Community, The Office, 2 Broke Girls, How I Met Your Mother, Orange is the New Black

I'm currently watching these:

• Brooklyn 99
• Orphan Black

I love reading but I always feel I don't have enough time! You can see what I've been reading lately on my Goodreads profile.

I appreciate anything you could send me but it would be nice if you paid attention to my likes and dislikes.

• Tea: I love it! I drink tea everyday, at least twice a day. I love ALL kinds of tea, flavored and unflavored, including herbal teas. Dislikes: Pu-erh tea.

• Coffee: I know it's not really healthy but I can't help it. I really enjoy having a cup of coffee a day, so I'd appreciate if you send me a little single bag of your everyday coffee to try it.

• Candy: I love trying candy from different places! I love sweet n' sour candies, gummybears, and all kinds of chocolate. Dislike: Spicy candies.

• Planners and scrapbooking: I'm all into planners, bullet-journaling and scrapbooking, so I love stickers, washitape, inserts, printables, bookmarks, pieces of paper with nice designs, etc. I love handmade things so feel free to send me anything made by you. I'll love it! By the way I have a Happy Planner by MAMBI, in case you want to send me something I'll really use in my everyday life.

• Postcards: I love postcards! I'll be happy to receive a postcard from your hometown or the place you currently live in. I love stamps, the more the merrier! Dislikes: Postcards with offensive images or messages.

• Favorite themes: DOGS! (I absolutely love them), nature (trees, mountains, ocean, rivers, flowers, leaves, sun, moon, stars), literature (quotes, short stories), painting (classic or modern), landscapes, shapes (hearts, stars, geometric), travel (stamps, planes, suitcases). Dislikes: Cartoon related items, I don't really watch any.

• Favorite colors: I like all of them! (I'm not a fan of neon colors, though). My favorite colors by now are turquoise and purple. Oh and I love shiny and glittery stuff.

I will not flake and I will always rate.

Please contact me if you don't get something from me and I haven't let you know in advance if something happened. I will resend ASAP. Also, I will always contact my swap partner before rating a 1. Mail can get lost, but everyone need to have the chance to explain or resend before being judged. Please, let me know in advance if you don't send your mail on time, I'm cool with that. I promise to do the same. I will always rate my swap partners and swap coordinators. If you happen not to get a rating from me, please let me know and I will do it ASAP (I swear I didn't do it on purpose).
