Hi! My name is Isabel, and I enjoy writing letters and having pen pals since 1998. I recentely started at postcrossing too. I'm relatively new to swap-bot since I joined in 2017, but then I didn't connect because of the whole pandemic, and now I would like to resume this hobby. I'm very interested in finding pen pals with whom to build a lasting friendship over time, so the goodies are an extra experience but not the main focus of my interest. If is something you may be interested too, please send me a message and maybe we can start with a private swap!

I really like painting, watercolors, illustrations, jewerly making and mail art. I also love to do journaling and collage. I like video-making and photgraphy although I'm not very talented at it.

I am not demanding. I'm sure I'll like whatever you put together, but if you are interested, I love ephemera, such as: Stamps! I collect them. Also I like labels, bookmarks, fussy cuts, tickets, washi-stickers, wax seals, bookpages with animals or plants, paperbags, small envelopes. I also enjoy stickers and washi tape.

The Little Prince, Harry Potter, Any of Isabel Allende's books, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, La Tregua.

Friends, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, One Chicago, Law & Order SVU, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us.

I also like nature as a theme in general, so I love flowers, trees, seeweeds, fruits and botanical illustrations. I love animals in general, in particular mammals and birds. I love cats, (specially black ones because I have one), otters, elephants, dolphins, felines in general, foxes, penguins, pandas, bears in general, etc. I also really enjoy food, some of my favorite food is lasagna, french fries, pastel de papas (it's a chilean recipe that is translate potato cake but is not quite like that), homemade pizza, chocolate, cheese, and pastries in general. My favorite drinks are tea, coffee, and natural fruit juices. I love illustrations about food as well (not meat).

Other random stuff I like: Van Gogh, beautiful natural landscape; the monarchy (specially the British one); memorials; knowing about other places; holidays themes like easter, christmas or seasons; comunist or soviet esthetic or propaganda.

I don't like spiders, clowns, meat, fatphobia.
