About Me

My name is Vanessa, I am a 29 year old from the beautiful south of Germany :)

I am married to the most wonderful Nepali guy and I work in market research.

I suck at crafts, but I do enjoy Postcard swaps! And of course e-swaps! Love those ♥

Favorite Music

I have a very eclectic music taste. I listen to a lot of different genres. Also I don't like to stick to just one or two languages, as I think music is beyond country limits.

Favorite Books

Reading is one of my greatest passions and I am not very picky when it comes to books. I own over 600 books! My husband thinks I am crazy but I just want to provide a nice comfortable home for my bookish friends ♥ I read the classics just as fantasy, adventure books or romantics. I even read 50 shades of Grey although it was one of the worst books I ever read.

Favorite Television

I am a big series junkie. I loove:

BBC Sherlock

Big Bang Theory, Bones, Friends, Family Guy., Avatar the last Airbender...

I'd be happy about

I am very easy to please. As long as I see that you cared about what to send to me I will always give you a heart. I do not see why people are so cheap with giving out hearts.

Anyways, I am always happy about receiving:

  • tea (I don't like herbal tea very much)
  • hot cocoa
  • stationery
  • anything about Frida Kahlo
  • chocolate
  • marzipan
  • mints
  • scarfs (very addicted to scarfs!)
  • souvenir magnets of your country/city
  • stickers
  • lipbalm/chapsticks
  • bookmarks
  • pens
  • adress labels
  • rubberstamps

For everyone from Latin America! Please! I LOVE mentitas (Ambrosoli) and anything that contains dulce de leche

Postcards

I am very much addicted to postcards, they will always make me happy. If possible, I prefer them written and stamped :)

I collect:

  • countrymapcards and flags

  • capital cities

  • Greetings from.. (postallove)

  • Frida Kahlo

  • Postcards related to BBC Sherlock, Friends, Pokémon

  • postcrossing meeting cards

  • US Statemaps (I am only missing Rhode Island! If you send my this one, I will love you forever!)

If you are sending blank cards in an envelope, please, if possible no touristy view cards unless the swap requires it, I collect these written and stamped only.

I also like to receive:

  • Diddl Maus
  • Polacards
  • Keep Calm
  • Quotes
  • Tom of Finland
  • hinduistic deities (esp. Ganesha)
  • crazy/innapropriate cards
  • any postcard you would like to receive yourself

No thank you

This is gonna be just a short list, so please keep in mind:

  • I do not need get converted. I am pretty happy with my actual religion. Please also no religious items

  • Nothing tasting like fish/seafood/liquorice/coffee

Random things I like

  • Latin America
  • drinking out of a freshly cut coconut
  • traveling
  • blogging
  • Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí
  • Mango
  • palmtrees
  • the sun
  • Mafalda
  • dulce de leche
  • libraries
  • Pokémon (loved the old Gameboy games, my favourite pokémon is Lapras)
  • Harry Potter
  • Sherlock Holmes (all about him)
  • linguistics ...

Last but not least

I think it is really cool that there are so many languages on this planet, so if you write me through a postcard, please use your native language (no translation needed). I like the challenge to understand what you wrote.

I speak German, Spanish and English well to very well

I am able to communicate okish in Nepali and French

And I understand written Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Hindi.

If you want to do a private swap especially postcards write me! I am open to anything.

Comment: Thank you sharing what you read this month. I am like you and tried reading the Lord of the Rings book years ago and I got so bored!!! I jokingly told my husband that the guy spent 20 pages describing a tree that by the time I got back to the main part of the story that I forgot what was going on lol. I’m glad The Hobbit isn’t like that. I will have to give it a try.

Comment: Thank you very much for hosting this swap and for sharing your thoughts and experiences. 🤗 Das Buch hat mir so gar nichts gesagt, das werde ich mir wohl mal irgendwo leihen müssen, bevor ich sagen kann, ob ich mit Schreibstil und Inhalt ähnlich empfinde wie du. ☺️ Ich liiiebe Kaiserschmarrn, aber ich habe mich noch nicht daran getraut, ihn selbst zuzubereiten. 😅 Und die Lieder: tolle Auswahl! Wanda sagte mir nichts, Jeanny ist mein Lieblingslied von Falco ♥️ Und Opus, klar, kennt man, mag man 😅 Nur den Gabalier ertrage ich nicht, es tut mir leid, das Lied habe ich also nach 30-40sek abgebrochen. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Aber ich freue mich für dich, dass du da einen solchen Draht zu diesem Lied hast. 🤗

Comment: Wow, your food definitely turned out a lot better than mine. XD Looks yummy. Oh my goodness! Opus is Austrian?! I feel like such a lousy 80's fan now. I love that song. I googled Austrian singers. Google should know me better by know. >_> I liked the song from Wanda, that one is coming to my playlists. Thanks for sharing.

Comment: Thank you so much for your wonderful email and for taking the time to look so closely at my town! It’s definitely small so I do spend a lot of time in Boston. I actually didn’t notice that we had a Country Club until you pointed it out! I would assume you’d need a membership to enter. Most of the residents in town are doctors since we’re near so many hospitals, so I’m guessing they can afford the membership. I also didn’t know about the Longyear Museum! There’s another Christian Science building downtown that hosts an amazing Mapparium, which is an enormous glass globe dome that you can walk inside of! I don’t know anything about Christian Science, but I did really enjoy the Mapparium. I walk past the picture frame store every day and I’m thinking of going there soon to get some art framed! And I also love the bridge you mentioned. I used to cross it every single day when I was a teacher! It’s a way for kids at the school to safely get to the park without having to cross the busy street. Thank you again for your wonderful email. It’s helping me see my town in a whole new way!

Hi thank you for organising the ESG: Quick friendly profile comment swap. I can't believe how many swaps you have completed, I am only just getting started on swap-bot. It's nice to find a fellow bookworm and someone else who likes Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes. What do you prefer for Sherlock Holmes, the books or the Tv?

Inez on Sep 13, 2017:

Hi Vanessa!

It was really nice reading your profile! We have some things in common! I also like mango, fresh coconut ( I have coconut palmtrees in my garden 😊), traveling, palmtrees! You seem a very nice and friendly girl to me!

I wish you all the best!

Warm greetings from Bonaire!
