Traveling times

The postal service in Mexico is much more slower than what you would expect. I would say three months is the very least you can expect to have something delivered.

However, I am very diligent with sending things on time and notifying people when I receive what they've sent me.

About Me

Hello!

I’m a homely person that enjoys quietness and staying indoors. My favorite thing to do is to read. Fantasy, horror and historical fiction are my favorite genres. I also enjoy watching documentaries or listening to podcasts about paranormal events, true crime and conspiracy theories. The truth is out there!

I've been away from this site for ten years but it's 2020 and I'm back and ready to get swapping. I have a Postcrossing account that I've been active on all along so I've never really strayed too far from the mailing world.

Postcards

It's always nice seeing unusual things, so don't hesitate if you have a peculiar postcard lying around. I'm pretty open-minded and I don't get easily offended. When it comes to postcards, anything goes for me: art, ads, cartoons, religion, people, animals, buildings, text. I just like getting them! It makes me happy!

But if you want some specific ideas on what to send, here are some suggestions:

*Paintings or drawings (sketches, children's book illustrations, anime, etc)
*Dark themes (graveyards, ghosts, strange or scary things in general)
*Seasonal cards (Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Halloween, etc.)
*Buildings (cathedrals, castles, government offices, towers)
*History (specially Medieval and Victorian themes)
*Food (I love baked goods, berries and junk food)
*Magical beings, mythology and fairy tales
*Religious cards (all beliefs are welcome!)
*Statues or monuments
*Anything romantic
*Wild life

I much prefer cards to be written and stamped.

Comment: I love the postcard and view of Saddle Hill. You have a beautiful town. It reminds me of a mountain I used to live near: Picacho Peak in Arizona. If you put "Picacho Peak" in Google Images, you can see it. Thanks for the PC!

Comment: I loved both PC's! The zoo one was awesome and the Sulley one was weird! lol, but I still liked it. It's always really cool to see the different things they thought about using in movies. Hehe. Anyways, thanks for the great swap :)
Response: I'm glad you like them! It is a pretty weird Sulley, isn't it? I can't imagine him looking that way on the movie, hahaha. I hope we can bump into each other in some other swaps! :D
