Ahana

Nice to meet you, internet wanderer. I'm Ahana, I'm into photography, DIY projects and TV marathons.

I live with my partner and two cats in a small forest of houseplants in NJ. I joined Swapbot to put the collection of stationery I've unwittingly hoarded to good use.

I love animals, have been vegetarian since I was 11 and went vegan a year ago. I like most things fantasy and weird. I'm not a huge fan of history but I enjoy fascinating facts, especially on subjects I like. Pop culture stuff is always fun. I do yoga and am currently learning to play the guitar.

I'll probably find a way to enjoy whatever you send but just to give you an idea of the things I like/love...

• Tea (especially exotic and interesting flavors!)
• Pressed pennies
• Cat toys/treats (to spoil my kitties)
• Cute guitar picks
• Magic/fantasy
• Puzzles/games
• Kawaii stationery
• Crosswords
• Poetry
• Cute new postage stamps
• Handwritten letters
• Vintage/goth/steampunk designs
• Hand-lettering/Typography art
• Candles
• Pressed flowers

Ultimately, I prefer things I can quickly use or experience rather than collect - but I do love pressed pennies!

Some talking points ;)

• Veronica Mars
• Gilmore Girls
• Orange is the New Black
• Black Mirror
• House of Cards
• Cardcaptor Sakura
• The Good Wife
• Game of Thrones

• Imagine Dragons
• Paramore
• Lorde
• Panic! at the Disco
• The Lumineers
• Emilie Autumn
• Halsey
• Stars
• Fall Out Boy
• Melanie Martinez
• OneRepublic
• Vampire Weekend

• Knitting (especially using jumbo/mega yarn)
• Journaling
• Hand-making cards for special occasions
• Decorating envelopes
• Creating vases from leftover yarn and used bottles
• Minizines
• Pocket Letters (new discovery)
