Hello! Just starting here on swap-bot so not sure about all my likes and dislikes - some things I've never thought about or even heard of!! I have however been sending letters and mail art, collecting colourful postcards, and using nice stationery and stickers for many years - so would be very happy to receive these items. This also means that I will be very happy to receive anything that you send to me - if it's something that you'd be happy to receive then so would I - introduce me to your favourite items.

I love being out and about in nature - especially by the coast. Waves, cliffs, boats, beaches, islands! One of my plans in life is to visit all the islands of the UK. I love to travel and explore new places - whether it be a new country or just a new neighbourhood. I lived in Romania for 2 years so any momentoes from here would take me back and would be greatly appreciated. Japan, Norway, the USA, Syria, Switzerland and Croatia have been particular faves. And oh yes the pandas in China ;o) San Francisco, Finland, and the Isles of Scilly are next on my list.

I love animals, especially cats, penguins, owls, pandas. We had all sorts of pets growing up and at the moment I am missing my lovely affectionate cat who lives with my parents. When it comes to images of animals I much prefer illustrations rather than photographs.

I like items relating to post/mail. My favourite colours are purple and teal. I like tasting chocolate (but not white chocolate, Hersey's or with alcohol in), sweets (especially sour ones) and biscuits from different places. I don't like ginger or coffee. I like poetry and logic puzzles (not word searches). I like things that are 'typical' to your country. I've just moved into a new flat so anything that would liven it up would be great - especially practical items that I can use.

I don't like tea, coffee, bananas, or mushrooms. Hot chocolate sachets would be great. Also I don't tie my hair up or wear (much) make up so these items are not so good for me. Also I can only wear silver ear-rings

Lastly I work with people who are deafblind (both deaf and blind) so if you have any items which feature famous blind/deaf/deafblind people, sign language, Braille, guide dogs that would be really great.
