anotheralek

I came over here from Postcrossing (same name).

5/16/25 Update: I'm moving from MN to TX on 5/25/25. My address has been updated on here now. I will have mail forwarding set up and my partner has already moved in, so early or later mail shouldn't be an issue.

As I'm finishing my M.S. degree in Environmental Studies I currently live on campus. There's no mail service on the weekends and everything takes an extra 1-2 days to go through our mail system. This means that after an item is delivered to our mail department it will usually take another day or two before I receive it. It's the same for outgoing mail.

Upcycling

I try to upcycle as much as I can with my mail art. If you would like to do the same, I'm always happy to receive it. Also, if you have any recommendations for eco-friendly mailing supplies, please send them my way. Right now I'm using secondhand purchases, scotch greener tape, & am an currently on the lookout for new glue stick options if you know any. Handmade & upcycled postcards are always welcome.

Zines

Do you make zines? I'd love to do some trades if you do (ai-free only).

Make any kind of list you want.

5/16/25 Update

I accidentally deleted part of my profile while updating it. If you read anything on it previously, I don't remember everything but will try to get it added back again. I still have the same interests.
