Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile!

I'm new here, I'm just getting started on swap-bot. For the moment I still don't have a rating, but I'm already working on some swaps, and I've sent one. I'm very excited to start participating!

I live in a small town near Barcelona, in Catalonia (Spain). My town is mostly known for its lake and beautiful natural surroundings. I love walking in peaceful and quiet natural places — especially now that I'm a mom to a baby daughter, and I often take her out on walks.

And of course — I loooove crafts and anything handmade! In a very broad sense: drawing, painting, pop-up mechanisms, writing, etc. In general I prefer to do hand-drawn and hand-painted projects.

Types of projects I like and I have experience with: - ATCs - Greeting cards - Pop-up mechanisms and paper engineering - Watercolor and color pencil painting - Illustration - Zines - Creative journaling - Projects that involve using different techniques, for example Advent calendars, Christmas decorations, etc.

In the past, I also really enjoyed penpalling, and it's a hobby I'm now trying to pursue again. I love this slow-paced, meaningful form of communication where you take the time to write and create something special for someone else. These days, I’m also participating in Postcrossing.

I'm a fan of sci-fi books and shows. On television I like shows like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly, etc.

I also like videogames, especially No Man's Sky, Baldur's Gate, Life is Strange.

• Nature, animals, plants, flowers
• Beautiful landscapes
• Starships and space travel
• Time machines
• Snail mail
• Travelling by train
• Cryptography
• A cozy rainy day in summer and a sunny day in summer

I'm not picky, and I will cherish anything you send me which is thoughtfully made. However, in my work, and not so much into:

• Scrapbooking, or crafts involving a lot of pre-bought papers and materials
• Vintage style
