Hi! My name is Gabrielle, or just Gabi 😊 I'm 23 years old. I was born in a small inland town in the state of Paraná, Brazil – but a few years ago I moved to the state capital, to attend college.

I've always liked the idea of exchanging letters and postcards. My father was a mailman his whole life, so I spent a lot of time as a child in a post office, playing with stamps and covering my arms with all the postmarks I could find. I've always loved looking at all those letters and packages being sent, and wondering what they contained and where they were going.

In 2020, I discovered penpaling, and soon I came across Postcrossing – since then, letters and postcards have been one of my passions!

My other hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, making amigurumi, scrapbooking and playing cozy video games. I also love having picnics and going to the board game café!

Please, if you received something from me, leave me a rating!

If you have any issues with receiving your item, send me a message before leaving a negative rating, whether it’s regarding the items sent or the delivery time. I always try send my swaps by the deadline — however, if any unforeseen circumstance arises, I will always let you know in advance.

Shipments from Brazil usually take 20 to 50 days to arrive at their destinations, and up to 60 days depending on the country, so please be patient and reach out to me before anything! With communication, everything can be resolved 💗

I read almost exclusively fiction! My favorite books are those with adventure, fantasy and friendship. I also love young adult and romantic comedies, as well as mystery, thriller and suspense books (nothing too scary though, I'm too afraid for horror).

I LOVE Percy Jackson series! Percy is my favorite fictional character – I have plans to get a tattoo of it in the future
