Country: Czech Republic

About Me

Hello, I am 33 years old and I live in central Europe in Czech Republic. I like to explore my country, mostly mountainous areas, old castles (we have a lot of them :) and zoos.

If my swap didn't arrive for some time, contact me. I can resend.

I am: BOOKWORM. Give me a book and I forget everything and anything around me. I can read anything, but I prefer fantasy, supernatural, magic, historical, light novels. And Happy Ends.

STATIONERY HOARDER. I am making monthly tour around all paper shops in my city and look for new stuff. Mostly washi tapes, stickers and patterned papers.

CUISINOLOGIST. Is it even a regular word? Anyway I love to cook and try new things. Right now I am "researching" Asian cuisines.

COFFEE & CHOCOLATE LOVER. Just because.

SNAIL-MAILER I started to send letters to my best friend, when I moved with my parents as a young girl. And it kind of stick with me until now.

LANGUAGE ENTHUSIAST¨Currently I am focusing on Korean language, going slow and steady. And I plan to start some new languages soon.

ATCs. I found out about ATCs and I try to make some. I am by no means an artist, but I like the idea.

Favorite Books

Afted some break I found my love (and time) for reading. Genres I like: fantasy, supernatural, magic, travel logs.

Recently I read some memoirs, mystery and crime and enjoyed it, too.

Favorite authors: - R. E. Feist - Robert Asprin - Terry Pratchet - James Clavell

Book I recently read and liked: - Lost Apocathery by S. Penner - Henna Artist by A. Joshi - Tai Pan by James Clavell - Demons Do It Better by Louisa Masters - The Maid by Nita Prose - Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan - Howl's Moving Castle by Diana W. Jones

I read books in Czech language which are not translated to English (and probably never will be).

I noticed I tend to read books mostly from American authors, so I started to mindfully pick authors from different countries to broaden my horizonts.

Favorite Movies

Top 3 movies: - The Dune - Harry Potter movies - Spirited Away (Ghibli Studio) - Howl's Moving Castle (there is a book, I didn't know)

Top recent anime - Ascendance of a Bookworm - Heaven Official's Blessing - Spy X Family

About swapping

If you wonder what to send to make my day better.

I love STICKERS - floral - animals - nature - sea - space & sky - cute - cats - owls - forest - landscape (please, no fashion or food)

I keep POSTAL STAMPS - I am not "pro" collector, I just like to look on different stamps from all around the world.

I collect WASHI my collection mostly consists of floral and landscape washi. But I am open mostly to anything (EXCEPT scary and death and overly childish ones)

POSTCARDS / CARDS - places - nature - flowers - buildings (please, no technical or cars or sports) If you have some nice postcard from your city or with some landmark, please send. And if you write a thing or two about your city, all the better.

CHOCO & CANDIES - like to try new types of chocolate / candies / snack (dislike raisins in chocolate and liquorice)

PAGE OF NEWSPAPER - especially if you are non-English speaker :)

LOOSE MEMO PADS / PATTERNED PAPERS - any original, cute, with animals, with people, flowery, patterned

RECOMMEND ME A BOOK - did you read some nice book, add a title and author! I am always on the lookout for something new to read.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLACE - did you visit a nice place, tell me about it!

Comment: Děkuji for the swap, the list of Czech words, and your nice letter. I really enjoyed reading it. Until nine weeks ago, I lived my entire life in a rural farming area. There were roadside stands and farmers' markets all the time... in the summer and autumn that is. In the winter, there was only one weekly "Farmer's Market" but it wasn't really. It was more like an indoor festival with everything from lamb kabobs ro fried dough but few vegetables.
