Hello! :)

My name is Ezgi. I'm a 28 year old woman and I like postcards, souvenirs, travelling, languages, learning about other cultures and countries ^^

If possible please read my profile before sending me anything.Thank you!

• If you are sending me a postcard (even in an envelope) please write as much as you can on it :) I'm sure I'll enjoy reading.I also love stamps and stickers on postcards,but that's not a must of course ;) I don't really like blank postcards...

• I like hello kitty (and cathy!), kawaii, smurfs, south park and the simpsons,smiling food (:P),winnie the pooh (especially piglet) but not mickey mouse or other disney characters.So I'd be happy if you don't send me anything with them ;)

• I would be happy with new or old books,however I can't stand timeworn ones.I mean those that have gotten yellowish and lost some pages etc.Second hand books are always welcome as long as they are in a good condition :)

• I'm interested in Latin America, so anything nice from/about there would be great!

• Anything that could help me about studying Spanish and German would be great as well. Even a note written in these languages if you speak it :)

You can also see my wishlist below. Thank you all for everything you send in advance! =)

A FEW THINGS I DON'T LIKE/NEED

• unwritten postcards

• pencils,erasers and that kind of stationery

• food

• notebooks

I always try to rate fairly and I don't mind giving people a heart for a nice postcard or a well prepared e-mail swap or writing a simple thank you to express my gratitude while rating.I sometimes see people may not have the same approach as me and it makes me a bit sad especially in swaps where the aim is not receiving something material but trying to make another swapper a bit happy.I just think at least taking time to thank eachother is not a very difficult thing to do,however,I know people may have different ideas and I of course respect everyone's opinion.

I sometimes need to send my swaps out a few days late,but I always let my partners know about it.So far all my partners have been understanding about this. I'd like you to know that I don't mind if you have to send a few days late for some reason as long as you send me a message about it either and I'll never rate you 1 because it's been 15 days since the deadline (coz stuff at times doesn't arrive here that fast). If your swap is too late or possibly lost I expect you to contact me first,but again I'll never rate you 1 due to postal service faults as long as you communicate with me.
