VERY IMPORTANT: I MOVED HOUSE ON 10th AUGUST 2026 Please ask for my new address if you are responding to a forum post or trade! Don’t use my old address if we have previously traded on a forum!

Hiya! My name is Courtney, and I finished my degree in English Literature in 2026. I’m not sure what I want to do next, but I’m taking each moment of my life as it comes. My dream job would probably be something in museums/archival work, or something that I can travel with. I’ve considered teaching English abroad; I love travel and learning about new cultures. I went on my first solo trip in January 2026 to Prague and so loved it. One of my life goals is to see the Northern Lights; I am obsessed with them, as well as snow and mountains. The scenery is so beautiful, and when I see photos of snow at night, it looks so magical. I am VEGAN, so please double-check that any food or drinks you send do not contain eggs, dairy, honey, or gelatin. Thank you!

I always promise to rate as quickly as I can, and if you ever have a problem with a swap I send, I am willing to correct it. Please, just drop me a message instead of rating down! I will do my best to resolve any issues.

I LOVE animals; my FAVEE ANIMALS ARE HORSES, RABBITS, FOXES, CATS AND BIRDS!! Particularly covids, but also songbirds. I used to own an Irish cob called Lulu, who was fully bay with a stripe down her nose and 4 white socks. I sold her due to no longer having the time/money for horses, but I still love them dearly. Eventually, I want to get dogs, cats or rabbits, but that is a long way in the future.

I am a very spiritual person; I enjoy yoga, meditation, tarot and mindfulness and also lightly practice paganism and Wicca. I am very open to hearing about other religions, as long as it isn’t preachy. I am especially interested in Hinduism and Buddhism.

I also love learning about different cultures and countries; please, tell me some things about where you live! Something unique or niche, or a personal story

I would say I am quite eccentric; I love all the oddities and curiosities, the stranger the better! I have no boundaries for what is sent to me other than what is outlined in my dislikes.

I am quite a passionate person; I love anything related to my interests, and I could talk about them for days! If you have time, give my profile a detailed read, and you'll learn a bit about me and my life.

WANT TO SEND AN EXTRA SPECIAL SWAP BUT DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ MY WHOLE PROFILE? Slap some horses, foxes, bunnies or corvids in with your mail! Also, anything kawaii, particularly memo sheets or stickers. Or, tell me a fun fact you think I wouldn’t know! I am a generous rater, though; I rarely don’t include a heart.

Note: I'm especially looking for memo sheets, washi tape samples, tea, and stickers (especially really small ones in the Japanese/Korean style for postcards!! The smaller the sticker, the better!).

I collect stamps, so please try to avoid taping over the stamp where possible. It makes them hard to remove. I always appreciate beautiful stamps, but if you can’t access them, no worries!

• I like roll-on perfumes, particularly natural ones made with essential oils.

Here is a list of themes/items that I don't particularly like. Please try to avoid sending these just as it means I have to find someone else to like them.

Themes:

• Religious (unless it's something like a pretty old church, or has importance historically, or is an interesting story/fact about a certain religion or personally to you, unless it is preachy or to convert me. I like learning about religion, but I am happy in my own beliefs now, so nothing preachy)

Teas that I would like to try again that I have been sent through SwapBot: Corn husk tea, Moomin blueberry tea, orange spice tea,

Loves: herbal tea, nutty tea, peach, vanilla, floral (rose), peppermint, Earl Grey, ginger, sweet orange spice tea (like mulled wine flavour or Ukrainian spiced orange teas), christmassy/winter spice teas, lychee, unusual/uncommon flavours to try.

Do not like: anything with lemon (though lemongrass is okay if it is with other flavours); I sometimes like berry teas but can be fussy. Plain teas.

I LOVE weird or unusual tea flavours if you have any, or anything unique to your country. Please include a note translating any teas not in English. I like decaf tea as I tend to drink more tea in the evenings, but I am not opposed to caffeinated teas.

If you are sending from the USA, I would love to receive David's tea as it is my fave brand, but we do not have it in the UK.

I like being sent both loose teas and teas in packs. Feel free to send loose tea even if a swap calls for individually sealed; I will not rate down. Just include a note with the flavour profile and steeping time/temperature though!

I am vegan, please double check what you send is veggie friendly. A lot of sweets or foods have hidden beef gelatine or other animal products. This means do not send marshmallows or certain sweets without checking they do not contain animal gelatine. This also means no dairy, no honey and no eggs. I do not eat any animal products, so please nothing with these ingredients.

Food I like: Salty, savoury flavours, Flavours unique to your country (please check they are vegan Chocolate, I love dark and vegan milk, either plain or with nuts or salted caramel in. I love Hazelnut chocolate. Orange, peach or apple-flavoured drinks (or unique drinks), Marzipan, Gummy sweets (veggie ofc), Marshmallows (once again veggie). If you are sending from the USA, I love strawberry Twizzlers

I am an absolute chocoholic, so chocolate is always welcome! I like all sorts of milk replacement chocolates (oat, coconut, soy, etc.)

I love Biscoff-flavoured things, vegan stroopwafels, vegan fake meat such as vegan jerky. I will eat most things as long as it is vegan; I am not fussy.

Food I dislike: Salt and vinegar flavour, lemon-flavoured snacks (unless it is lemon cake or cookies), orange-flavoured gummy sweets, raisins, mustard
