Mail.

i don't mind receiving postcards either naked on in am envelope. personal message preferably in an envelope.

As I live at the bottom of the world sometimes my mail may take longer than normal mail so please don't rate me down because of that. Notice that postcards take longer than letters.

Dislikes. PLEASE DO NOT SEND TEA.
I dont drink tea or coffee as I dont like the taste so please dont send me any thank you. Also customs may refuse your mail if they find mail containing tea bags. Thank you.

NON RATERS.

I dont like naming non raters but over time I have had so many people not rate me, especially in email swaps. i also understand that life gets in the way and that there is more to life than swap bot rating but mainly I have done this for my own memory.

Nachtauge Jennifer W from Germany. swap: Nana prep 31 day free workshop. Has already got 5 ones from other swappers as I write this.
