Profile last updated: September 28th, 2023

I am a 32-year-old woman born in Southern Finland but moved to Southern Sweden in 2019. I have a husband and four sons aged 11, 9, 6, and 1,5 years old. I also have two pet cats; a purebred ragdoll kitten and a 1-year-old half-Norwegian Forest Cat.

I am disabled with multiple chronic illnesses, which even after decades have me learning my limits, haha. You think you've finally adapted but then there are always surprises. :')

I can speak Finnish and English mostly. I do understand Swedish but I'm not very good at writing or speaking it. I know, I know. I must learn now, haha. I know some very basic Japanese and very little Korean. I have also taken beginner classes in Mandarin Chinese and French.

I enjoy snail mail, journaling, collecting stamps, playing video games, baking, and knitting. I am interested in culture, history, politics, health, and traveling. I volunteer on a wiki-type site for Asian dramas, which I like watching, too.

I have an Instagram account where I post my snail mail things as well as journaling stuff if you'd like to take a look. It's listed in the links in my profile.

I like extraordinary, creative, beautiful cards and not so much the boring city views types or touristy postcards, and in most cases I dislike cards with text on the front.

I prefer my cards sent written in an envelope (unless the swap is for unwritten cards), because I collect stamps, so even if the swap asks for naked postcards if it doesn't cost you extra money or trouble, I'd like it to be sent in an envelope. :)

Surprise me! If I end up getting something I don't like, I can always pass it on! :)

If possible, please do not tape the teabags together or on the cards.

Please do not send tea bags without their wrappings - I think it's a bit unhygienic and I will throw them away. Also, please do not send tea bags with damaged/worn wrappings -- those seem like they are very very old and I don't want to drink expired tea. I would never send tea like this to my partner, so I can't even pass on what you sent me.

I'm currently going through it slowly and transferring stuff from my other, older profile, to make sure I actually still have all the stamps I've listed in my old profile after moving a thousand times. :')
