Zorin

I'm a working mom of two. I live with my husband and our kids (ages 5 and 9) in Southern Germany. I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, reading, writing and reading letters and crafting. Thrifting and baking are also favorites.

I joined swap-bot to get to know lovely people from all over the world and maybe make new friends.

I love private swaps - either profile based or themed. Just let me know!

My Kids love to receive mail and packages, too. If it's not a special kid's swap but you'd like to send them something, it would be perfect, if it was marked with a G or a J, so they can open it themselves. Thank you!

My boy G is nine years old. He loves Football (Soccer), Star Wars, Lego, Harry Potter and Pokemon. He loves to read, but he's not crafty.

My little girl J is five years old. She's into horses and unicorns, Frozen (Queen Elsa), Hello Kitty and glitter. She loves to craft (paper).

Rude or arrogant behavior. Fennel and/or anise flavor and smell. Religious items.

I always send my swaps. If I'm your partner in a swap and you don't receive what I send in a reasonable time, please contact me and I'm sure we find a solution! I put effort in the swaps I send. I read my partner's profile and try to make it something worth receiving. If you're unhappy with what you got, please let me know and give me a chance to work it out. Thank you!
