About Me

My name's Sneha. I'm 22 years old, and I live in Bangalore, India. I'm a university student, majoring in electronics and communication engineering.

I came across swap-bot only recently and I'm really excited to be here! I just love this concept so I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of swaps via snail mail!

I'd love to swap artsy stuff with someone from another country. I absolutely love to write long letters. I admire art and creativity. I'm looking to explore a different culture, read your stories, swap mail art, postcards, little trinkets, anything.

Random Facts about me:

~ I'm lefty by birth, but when it comes to writing, I'm ambidextrous

~ I love art and science; Leonardo da Vinci is my inspiration.

~I'm a dog lover. I love animals!

~My favourite ice-cream flavours are butterscotch and vanilla.

~ I love collecting all kinds of interesting, colourful stamps (I prefer to preserve them just as they are on the envie or postcard they came with, and not remove or peel them off separately), postcards, bookmarks, maps and brochures from around the world.

~ I like exchanging long letters with my penpals (I have a penpal from every continent - except Antarctica, booh), with whom I've been corresponding for more than about four years now and lovin' it! I'm always up for writing to a new pen-pal wherever you might live.

~ I love exploring new cultures from other countries of the world as much as I love to tell people about the diverse cultures of my homeland, India.
