Bonjour! Hello! Nice to meet you ♥

My name is Lorianne and I live in the province of Québec, Canada.

My native language is French but I am fluent in English and can understand/read in Spanish. Feel free to write to me in any of those languages.

In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, watching TV shows, rock climbing and writing/decorating postcards. You can find some of my favorites further down on my profile.

I started sending postcards in 2017 on Postcrossing. Not long after that, I started an Instagram account to do direct swaps. Now, I also do direct swaps on Facebook, the Postcrossing Forum and Swap-Bot.

I have a calico cat named Kashu that lives with me in my apartment and I had a Boston Terrier named Chanel. She passed away in December 2021 at 17 years old.

I prefer postcards ''naked'', meaning no envelope (except for extras 😋). I like handmade cards. I'm happy with what I get, but here are some of my favorite things/themes.

For postcards:

♡ Boston Terriers, Pugs, rats & cats

♡ Odd-shaped or 3D cards

♡ ANIME or MANGA

♡ HALLOWEEN (all-year)

♡ Pokémon, Winnie The Pooh, Garfield, Sanrio characters (especially Gudetama)

♡ Black & White

♡ Animals from your country

♡ Flowers

♡ METRO MAPS

♡ Recipes and beverages, especially tea

♡ Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky

♡ Women in Art by Rachel Ignotofsky

♡ Jetoy Choo Choo Cats

♡ WT, GF, FOTW, MOTW, LouPaper and Happy Postcrossing

I also really like when the postcards are decorated. You don't have to, but if you're waiting for an opportunity to go crazy with decorations... this is the place!

A postcard in my mailbox = a smile on my face 😊

For swaps that include edibles things :

♡ Tea! My favorites are matcha, oolong, herbal and milk tea

♡ White chocolate, milk chocolate and chocolate with nuts

♡ Pocky! I like all the flavors.

♡ Candy/snacks from other countries

My favorite colors are yellow, pink and purple!

Please, keep them for someone who appreciates them.

Please, be patient for the swap. It can take some time to reach you, especially if it's international. Send me a message if you haven't received my swap after 4-6 weeks or if there's a problem with the swap. I will resend.

I always click on 'Sent' when I drop the swap in the mailbox. If I dropped the swap after the collection of the day or during the weekend, the post office will only pick it up on the next business day. So, the date may not match.

I always rate as soon as I receive the swap!
