Moved to Mongolia 6 months ago, and just getting back to my snail mail hobby. Sadly, I'm finding it much harder to join swaps these days. Yes, some swaps had to be resent, but that's the point -- I made the effort and carried the costs of resending items to be true to my word. :(

J'aime le music -- tout les genres!

These are some of the artists/bands that I am currently listening to:

Iron & Wine

Bat For Lashes

Band of Horses

The Kooks

Hurts

Flaming Lips

Devendra Banhart

Regina Spektor

Bedouin Soundclash

Givers

The xx

Joss Stone

B.O.B.

Little Joy

The Strokes

i like to live curious.

discovering all that there is to the universe is what consumes me.

i am...

an only child.

usually tardy for work

addicted to soy milk and spicy food

a bibliophile or bookworm, if you insist

a novice Buddhist

a pop culture enthusiast

sometimes a good cook

a frustrated popstar

a self-confessed internet geek

a fashionable pedestrian

i will try anything once. i am stuck in this wonderfully puzzling quarterlife crisis i like interacting with strangers in creative ways, like swapping postcards and packages.

i'm not really a big fan of cute, pink, fluffy, frilly and lacey things. i like nostalgic and otherworldly things, but i am just not a very girly-girl.

I really appreciate that you take the time to read this as you think of stuff to send me.

Thanks so much and have a great day! :)
