I would love to have some international pen pals! If I sound like someone you'd like to pen pal with, please let me know!

I love "around the world" type postcard series, such as the following: Countries of the World - https://houseofpostcards.com/en_US/c/Countries-of-the-World/181 World Travel - https://wt.nisan.tw/product-category/world-travel/ Greeting From - https://www.postallove.com/Postcards/Greetings-from-series

I also love: New Yorker cover - https://nelsonline.com/collections/the-new-yorker/cards/cover/ Travel posters postcards Dinosaurs/Reptiles Guns/Firearms Gardening Snow/winter

I'm new to this site, but not new to swapping.

I ALWAYS send my swaps. If you have not received anything from me, please contact me first. I also ALWAYS rate.

I'm a stay at home mom to 4 young kiddos (6, 5, 2, 1!), so I basically function on chocolate, coffee and croissants.

Before kids I worked as a clinical dietitian, specializing in renal patients. I think kidneys are the coolest organs!

I'm a new Girl Scout leader, mostly for Daisies.

I love colorful office supplies and stationary; colored pens, stickers, etc. I enjoy writing cards and mailing things (and of course receiving fun mail!).

I enjoy anything that will make me laugh and am not easily offended.

I'm generally not into politics, but have grown more conservative over time. I really like Trump! TRUMP 2024!

I raise chickens, and I'm pretty obsessed. I either have or have had pretty much every breed. I currently breed self-blue Ameraucanas.

I enjoy being outside, gardening, hiking, etc. I also love reptiles, especially snakes! and crocodiles! I also really love dinosaurs! PCs of any reptiles/dinosaurs would immediately be my favorite!

I live in the San Francisco bay area, but I'm originally from northwest Indiana. I started college at Purdue University, but graduated from UC Berkeley. I love both schools!

I love lemons and my favorite color is yellow!

I'm a chocoholic and love sweets in general.

I enjoy learning and really only read non-fiction.

I'm extremely organized and OCD. Think of The Home Edit.

I'm really into minimalism, mcm/Scandinavian style and hygge.

I have an older coin collection and am trying to add to it. I do not have any newer foreign coins, so would love it if you included any coins if you have them!

For postcards, I like anything that is FUN, COLORFUL, and/or UNIQUE! Anything that is special to your country would be great!

I don't watch a lot of TV/movies, but generally enjoy comedies; things like super troopers, anchorman, rick & morty, Christmas Vacation, most 80's movies.

My favorite music is rock and country. Favorites include Aerosmith, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Hendrix, etc.

Items I also like receiving: new or used stamps from around the world, coins from around the world, tiny envelopes, notepad paper (not sticky), modern stationary, unique washi tape, wax seals, micron pens, spools of thread for sewing, discontinued girl scout badges

Things I don't care for: Anime, manga, Pokemon, most homemade things, Mickey mouse, most Disney, Winnie the pooh, Gothic things, gore, roses, anything ornate/traditional style, landscapes, buildings, bridges, plain washi tape, traveling, sports, lighthouses, the smells of marijuana and cigarettes.

I also find it frustrating when people are overly critical about late swaps or postmark dates. I rarely send things late, and if I ever anticipate a delay, I make sure to communicate. As a mom of four young children, life can be unpredictable—between sickness, school, extracurricular activities, and other responsibilities. Please keep in mind that we're all doing our best. Let's keep things in perspective and be understanding.
