About Me

Hello! I work in education and journalism. And I love that so many people across the world work to help young people grow up to be the best possible adults.

I live in London which means I use lots of British stamps and will send London-related postcards if that's something you like.

My main swap loves are postcards, stamps and letters. I also love getting messages about what's going on in the news/current events in your country.

STAMPS

I collect stamps. I especially love stamps that feature:

  • women

  • education

  • political events or politicians

  • elections

  • social issues

  • charities

  • seahorses

But, honestly, all stamps are beautiful and tell such cool stories about their country that I don't really care what is on them.

POSTCARDS

Things I really like on postcards:

  • governments

  • politics

  • national events

  • the colour yellow! anything yellow!

  • odd or weird or ugly cards

  • seahorses

  • historical women

Other things I like: - pop music - food (all food, but especially local cuisine) - random small museums (e.g. umbrella museum or butter museum)

MESSAGES/LETTERS

But my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE is if you can WRITE A LITTLE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE NEWS in your country: could be a big election, an environmental issue, or a small funny thing you saw recently. I really love the news.

If you're not sure about the news, other things I like to hear about:

  • The best phone call you ever received

  • If you could witness any event from the past, which would you like to see?

  • How do you think future generations will view us?

  • If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be?

  • What is a tradition that tells a lot about your country?

  • What custom in your country brings you the most joy?

**But really, I like anything, so don't feel you need to do these things or send extras for hearts **

Favorite Music

Greenday, Barenaked Ladies and...country music!

Favorite Movies

Harold and Maude, When Harry Met Sally, High Fidelity and all musicals!

Favorite Books

I don't really read fiction but I read LOTS of magazines and non-fiction - about stamps, science, life, decorating, art, music, film...anything that is real life!

Dislikes

Not a lover of cute animals. I like ugly and weird animals. You know, creepy ones that people won't go near or have never heard of.

Comment: I love it. What a clever idea. Yes London has had it bad with the older tunnels and the stuff thatโ€™s put down into the sewers. Thank you. Iโ€™ve had a good swap bot year apart from abroad postage costs. Glad this group exists. Have a lovely crafting Christmas โค๏ธ

Comment: I love the sloth card--I don't care if its not very punny. I am also very envious of the Dudley and Peter and Monty Python stamps! I quote Python to this day. Thank you!
