Hey! 👋 Long time Postcrosser, first time Swap-botter.

I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my wife and our dog, Franklin, and I work at a local university. Outside of work, I'm likely being artsy fartsy or going on a side quest to a new place or weird event. Most recently attended: Ratapalooza. I love traveling and I've been to 60+ countries thanks to 3 years working on cruise ships and 3 years living abroad in Barcelona and Edinburgh.

I love all things weird and whimsical. I love learning about things I’ve never heard of, discovering someone else’s random obsession, finding a great quote or weird bit of history, and going down an internet rabbit hole because one tiny thing caught my attention.

✨My Interests ✨

Weird facts, strange places, niche subjects and subcultures

Quotes, proverbs, sayings, idioms

Mythology, folklore, symbolism, witchy/magical stuff

Linocutting, printmaking, rubber stamps

Stationery, paper crafts, and handmade art

Books and writing

UK art, culture, history, and generally charmingly eccentric British things 🇬🇧

Animals, wildlife, plants, landscapes, and the natural world

Local history and regional traditions

Pickleball, paddle boarding, and being in nature

Hygge and being cozy

TL;DR I'm a weird girl who likes weird stuff.

Happy swapping! 💌
