I'M VERY SORRY, FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEND MY SWAPS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. I'M GOING TO MAKE UP FOR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I APOLOGIZE TO ALL MY PARTNERS.

---->>END OF AUGUST 2012: I'm currently sending my late swaps to the partners who send me back their address after I contacted them!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Eva Lena, I'm 23 years old, I live in Belgium. I study English and Russian languages in the faculty of translation. I'd like to become interpreter.

I like cinema, music, art, fashion, design, photography, reading, writing, embroidery, crafts, languages, traveling, culture, history, discovering,...

Some themes I like:

• Vintage: anything related to the 40's, the 50's and the early 60's period.

• Pin up (vintage).

• Russia: especially the soviet period. I like illustrations, postcards, design, advertising, matrioshkas,...

• Cinema and style icons (ex: Audrey Hepburn, Marylin Monroe, Jean Seberg, Marlene Dietrich, Jackie Kennedy, James Dean, Elvis,...........)

• Japanese culture in general. About kawaii swaps, I prefer not to receive anything related to Hello Kitty because I've seen it everywhere a bit too much lately... Also, I'm not into manga.

• Animals, especially: does, owls, swallows, sheep, peacock, octopus, cats, rabbit, bears, pandas, lamas,...

• Navy: anchors, sailors,...

• Letters: I like receiving and sending letters (long, short, serious, funny, original, surprising, unexpected,...). I'm also a member of postcrossing...so I love postcards (related to the themes mentioned, please no touristic postcards). I've recently started to do some mail art, I really like it too.

My favorite colors are: old (vintage?) pink (I don't really know how to say that in English), fushia, coral, pale and navy blue, turquoise, grey, black, beige, purple.

• letters
• mail art
• crafts
• teas
• books (I'm also a member of bookcrossing)
• bookmarks
• postcards (I'm also a member of postcrossing)
• embroidery
• challenges
• A lot of things I haven't tried yet :)

And I LOVE to be surprised! I love to find in my mail box something unexpected!
