Hello everyone!

I live in the western Finland with my teenager son. We have two cats. I'm studying at the moment to be a nature guide (or something like that, I don't have the exact word for that in English, but that's close enough). So I like nature very much. I've just started postcrossing, and I'm new here in swap-bot too.

If you send me a single postcard, I prefer it written and stamped, without an envelope. Envelope is ok, when sending more than one PCs or handmade card. I collect nice stamps too.

I'm pagan, so please don't send me anything religious (unless it is pagan). And please be tolerant and respectful about it. Thank you :)

I haven't been listening much music lately, for no reason, but I like rock, heavy and metal music. I like many kinds of Finnish music too. So, my musical heart is quite heavy :)

If I'd have to mention some of my favorites, they'd be: Sonata Arctica, Volbeat, Rammstein, Metallica, W.A.S.P., Viikate (Finnish), Bjork (Björk) (I know, not heavy), Mari Boine (neither is she), Janis Joplin...

All nature related books, herbal books, some astrological books, books of animals, pagan books (many kinds of), books of castles..

I'm a big fan of Tim Burton movies. I also like many of Leonardo DiCaprio movies and The Crow (with Brandon Lee), Batman, Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter movies (Severus!)

I don't watch much TV. Sometimes wildlife programs, the Simpsons, the MythBusters, programs about earth and space, documents... The Vikings are something I could watch too.

Making different kinds of journals e.g. travel journals, postcrossing journals, art journals etc.

I like crafting with natural materials. I've tried some bookbinding and liked it. I've done some hand-tooled leather crafts, that's fun.

Pagan crafts.

I do some knitting and crocheting, usually at the winter time.

I can sew, actually it's my first profession. Though I haven't been sewing for a long time.

In case if I ever do candy swaps: I prefer milk chocolate, but I'm open for any kinds of candies. Should I have said that? Maybe we'll see :D I like fruities and salmiakki candies too.

The subjects I like most in the postcards and everything:

maps (old and new ones), castles, lighthouses, Route 66, cats (can be drawn too), trolls, gnomes, fantasy, Moomins, snow, winter, water, rain, moon, planet earth and other planets, space, national parks, animals, landscapes, wildlife, pagan / wicca / viking (It's not easy to find the cards with these subjects from Finland, though there are some), Halloween, Yule (christmas without christianity)
