UPDATE DEC 2023

I am no longer able to host or join swaps. I hope I will be back soon. My apologies to those who joined my swaps. I am so grateful for you !

Hello! I’m Erika from Canada, and I love riddles, word games, and I've probably done over 100 puzzles in the last few years.

I love ALL genres of books (I don’t discriminate) but especially poetry and fantasy. I love tea (I drink ginger peach daily. Like 3-4 cups a day!), and journaling.

I’m obsessed with Sailor Moon, the colour green (dark, moody forest greens, especially paired with a light pink, so cute!), and cows are my favourite animal 🐄

I work in the film industry, and we do superrrr long hours so I love to be cozy at home, usually wrapped in a blanket playing Sims 3 or Baldur's Gate 3, or watching Critical Role, while eating dark chocolate.

I collect watches, my most prized possession is my beautiful monstera (her name is Emmy), and I’m a sucker for a good cheese fondue. My dad's side of the family immigrated from Switzerland, so we take cheese VERY seriously in this family.

I drink mostly herbal teas but to be honest I will drink anything as long as its not artificial tasting! My favourites are Ginger Peach, Earl Grey, Jasmine, or anything fruity! But I am always willing and excited to try new things so please don't hesitate to send whatever :)
