I'LL BE IN PERU 5/18 - 6/1

Everything I owe is sent! If I receive from you while I'm away I will notify you and rate 6/2.

Hello! I live in Queens, NYC and I'm a pet sitter. I'm 23 years old. I've been swapping and penpalling since I was 11!

I started out with Yahoo Groups and then moved to Postcrossing. I've been there for a few years now and I still love it. I crave swapping, though, so I thought I'd give Swap Bot a try.

I love traveling, eating, collecting postcards, animals, and learning about other cultures. I have two cats, who are my babies.

My favorite things to swap are postcards, tea, chocolate, candy, coffee, and souvenirs (pens, flag stickers, anything touristy.) I also occasionally like to swap other things (girly stuff, cat stuff, etc.), and I love to be surprised!

When I send edibles, it will often be a non-US item. I never know what US stuff can be bought in other countries, so I get more creative and send imported stuff.

Can't wait to start swapping!

I love really cheesy reality TV shows.

I like the Real World, LA Ink, and the Ultimate Fighter, to name a few.

I also like Desperate Housewives, Locked Up Abroad, and I shouldn't Be Alive.

I LOVE watching baseball, and it's baseball season!!!!! Go Yankees!!

I'm actually not very creative, but I try to be! I am an active couchsurfing member, so I host people from all over the world in my home. I have an ongoing scrapbook that features every guest I've hosted. I'm very proud of it!

Otherwise, I don't make stuff. Ever. Sorry! I don't even know what an ATC is. Or inchies. Dotees. etc.

I have a sewing machine, but I don't sew. I took lessons and I totally sucked at it.

Okay, here are some specific likes/dislikes to those who may be sending me something...

Edibles: I'm not very picky! I love chocolate (Fazer chocolates are my favorite). White chocolate, milk chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnut, mint, coffee flavored, crispy....I just don't care for dark chocolate, hot/chili flavored, or salmiakki. Fruit in chocolate is not a favorite, either. I do like gummy and sour candies. Pretty much everything else would be great! I don't chew gum though, I have jaw problems. I like cookies, chips, most junk food, hot chocolate, coffee, all teas, drink mixes, specialty drinks...everything!

I like touristy souvenir items. Souvenir pens, pins, keychains, etc. Pretty much anything with your country's flag on it would be great. Flag stickers are nice, even if you just stick one on the envelope.

Anything cat related. Whether it be for a cat lover or a cat! This means you can send me cat stickers, cat magnet, cat photo frame, cat trinkets....or cat toys or treats! My cats are my world. And I am a cat sitter. I have 3 cat tattoos. I am the ultimate cat lady (in training...I'm only 22 hehe).

Otherwise, I can't imagine being too disappointed with anything. I like Hello Kitty, really cutesy stuff, notebooks, anything related to your culture or traveling, baseball or sports stuff (especially a sport unique to your country/culture, i.e. pesapollo!), souvenir T-shirt, coffee mugs, foreign magazines (about fashion or cats, in any language), etc.

I collect postcards, but I would only like to receive them written and stamped, please. No blank ones, and none sent in an envelope!

So in an easy-to-read list, I'd love to receive:

-Food: chocolate, candy, sweets, snacks -Drinks: coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice -Sports related stuff, especially baseball (any team) or unique sports -Cat related stuff, either for my cats or me, the cat lover -Souvenirs -Anything unique to your country -Postcards, sent written and stamped -Trinkets -Cutesy stuff -Bookmarks (even though I don't read much) -Stuff to decorate my apartment -Kitchen stuff, other household stuff -cute planners/datebooks -Surprises
