Hi there :-) My name is Josi, I am 38 years old and I live in Germany.
I had to pause my hobbies penpalling, journaling and just interacting with other people and dealing with deadlines as my mental health took a bad turn on me and I wanted to wait until I am stable enough to be a responsible swapper again. And I guess the time has come :) I am finally feeling good enough and I have this tingle in my hands, I want to be creative again! And I want to interact with others again!
If we are swap-partners and you haven't received my mail, please conract me!
As a member of the snail mail community I love decorating letters or envelopes and make some little crafts like flipbooks or wallets and I do love making pocket letters, but I haven't received one yet. I am always searching for new inspiration and ideas.
I enjoy working with die cuts or washi stickers, flake stickers or sticker sheets and of course paper, paper, paper 😅 there can't be enough paper. I do love making my own envelopes using old children books or 30x30 paper.
I like all kinds of stationary. I am a huge fan of washi stickers and die cuts (everything is beautiful and usefull), writing paper, paper in all forms and sizes, sticker flakes, postcards with themes I like (preferably written).
I am also a member of the postcrossing community 😊 and I like to decorate my cards with washi tape and stickers. I don't make my own cards yet, but perhaps in the future 😊
To make it easier for you, if you just scrolled down here, I made you a little list 😅 no hard feelings here! I know I tend to write to much 🙈

I used to love all kinds of movies and TV-Shows like Fantasy, crime, thriller, rom-coms, etc. But there was a shifting in my likings. I got in touch with the asian market and I am in love with their cinematic universe and it is so difficult to come back to western media. There are so many fantastic k-dramas and I don't have enough time in this life to watch everything on my to-watch-list. Besides the usual k-drama, I love the sub-genre bl from the different countries. I started with thai bls and made my way through all of asia and every country has its own style and I am just in love with them! They make me feel good and safe and I am happy to be part of a very healthy community on tumblr.
I really like books. I have to be in the right mood for a book. I tend to start a book and realise I am not in the right mod for this book. After a cute queer lovestory I might feel like enjoying a fantasy novel next.
Of course I am a huge fan of Harry Potter! I loved the books and the movies and the whole magical world around it :-) every year around christmas I watch the movies again :-) the perfect time for me.
And I love 'The Neverending Story'. As a child I had a cassette with the audiobook. Fantasia is just a wonderful place where everything lives in a state of balance and everyone is loved by the childlike empress equaly :-)
I have a huge bookshelf and I love to decorate it with crafts and goodies I get from my penpals and swap-partners :)
I am a huge fan of K-Pop and J-Pop, especially the boybands like Ateez, TXT, Day6, Omega X, Oneus, Yuuri, The Rose, Stray Kids, Seventeen, The Boyz, FTIsland and many more. I would be happy about recommendations 🥰
You've made it! Thank you so much for reading my profile 💖 And if we are swap-partners, thank you in advance for the things you are going to send me!

Josi, du bist der Knüller! Die ersten vier Tage im Dezember waren dank dir großartig! Die Gesichtsmasken, die Marshmallows, die Socken und dann auch noch ein Buch, dass ich mir so sehr gewünscht habe … ich weiß gar nicht, wie ich dir danken soll! Ich hatte eine nicht so gute Woche und die vier Türchen haben mich wahnsinnig aufgemuntert! Tausend Dank! 😘
