Hi there!

My name is Elina and I live in a small country near Baltic sea - in Latvia.

I love to receive snail mail and parcels, so joining on a swap bot is a great opportunity to do it and even make happy someone else by sending mail!

Looking for postcards with Robbie Williams (from UK swappers)!

This is a place where I live - Riga, a capital city of Latvia.

I always send my swaps!!!
That's why I'm here. I always do my best to make happy my swap partner and try to send some nice and interesting items.

Please do not make your swap as a way to get rid of items you have received in other swaps and don't have use for it. Sometimes i receive things that should be only in a trash bin or are absolutely useless (like companies promotional items, items for kids, ugly stickers).

If the worst happen and you don't receive a swap, please contact me before leaving me a 1 rating (it takes a long time to deliver to these countries - Canada, China, Russia, Taiwan (~20-30 days), to Mexico it can take up to 3 months)! I will send you another mail if necessary.

Things on my list

Mostly I'm in food and cosmetic swaps - I like to try new things aren't available in my country. I don't collect anything therefore I don't like things just lay on my shelf without a practical use.
