Lolle

I'll be travelling from end of July to the beginning of September and will rate any incoming mail when I return

Hi, I’m Carola (she/her). I’m a Bavarian transplant from Regensburg, Germany, now living back in the Pacific Northwest after living in New Zealand (my second home).

I work in outreach for the local health department. In my free time I’m junk journaling/ playing with paper or trying anything that is artsy, I also love going to op-shops/ thrifting, or photographing/ exploring abandoned places.

I am a big cat lover! I’ve finally been reunited with my two cats, Nebula and Sam, who stayed with family in Oregon while I was abroad. I also dearly miss Pixie, the neighborhood kitty in New Zealand who "adopted" us during our time there.

If a swap doesn't reach you, please message me before rating so we can arrange a resend. I typically take photos of my swaps before they head to the post office.

My music taste is eclectic and all over the place depending on my mood.
