ATTENTION: Mail service in Brazil is terrible, specially in December/January!!!! It takes a looooooooooooooong time for our mail to travel to you and vice-versa. In case of doubt, send me a message before anything related to "huge time for delivering".

Hello! I'm Renato, from Rio de Janeiro, And I collect stamps and postcards!

I'm starting here in swap-bot, so any help will be welcome...

I'm a 40 year-old man, married, and with two sons: a 8-year and a 4-year old one :)

About stamps, my favorite themes are Telecomunications, Esperanto, Disney, and for postcards I prefer the ones that show your city/country/region.

Well, for swaps I mostly have "stamp bags", but may be in for other stuff too... ;)

I'm also in PostCrossing... http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Rnbastos

I'm also interested in penpalling, but it's been difficult to find penpals that keep writing after a couple of letters... :(

Best wishes, Renato

I like rock, but my favorite band is Pink Floyd. I also hear Engenheiros do Hawaii (a brazilian band).

I'm also a bass player... :)

I usually mark as "sent" as soon as I complete all suff I need to send and put them in the collect mailbox of the post office. So, it's possible that the mail guys take a couple of days to do their job and get the mail from the box and really send it to you... that's why I do my best on not sending in the last day of the swap...

On 'big' swap groups, with many people I need to send stuff to, it's possible that items will have been sent a few days before I click 'Sent' - I'll send them as soon as they are ready, not only when ALL of them are ready, but sure, I'll click "Sent" when all of them are.

Also, if I send you a stamp bag with damaged stamps, let me know and I'll replace all of them.
