valancy

My name is Sanna, I was born in 1980 and I live in Finland. My hobbies are pen palling, reading books, movies, Sex and the City, watching vlogs, walking, gymnastic, listening to music, relaxing, drinking tea and coffee with my friends, thinking everything possible and impossible ;) and so on.

I took a long break from swapping and now I'm looking for new pen pals around the world and I'd like to swap some tea in private swaps. Telling the truth I can't afford big swaps and I would be interested in swaps where we both send about 20 teabags. In private swaps often are sent lots of extra but as I said, I can't afford lots of extras and I don't expect lots of extras from you either :) Please read my profile and send me tea that I like and can drink. Please send private message if you would like to be my pen pal or/and swap some tea :)

If you don’t receive anything, or I have accidentally sent you a swap worth of rating 3, please send me private message before giving a rating. I will resend then. But please notice that it may take several weeks the package to arrive, especially to USA.

I think swapping is about making someone happy, sending something that makes one's day. I appreciate it when my profile is read. I always read my partner's profile, even when it's a sender's choice swap.

Tea is my way to relax and make tea trips :)

I can send you for example Twinings, Lipton and Nordqvist (also the Moomin tea) If possible, please don't send me those brands.
