Hi! My name is Julia and I am excited to be a part of swap-bot!

I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and love it because of having the four seasons. I have previously worked on a diverse vegetable farm, so I loved being able to time the season by what crops were ready. Some of my favorite vegetables are potatoes, asparagus, and broccoli. This season, I am so excited to U-pick most of the local fruit. So far I have harvested a bunch of strawberries, and plan to U-pick raspberries, blueberries, cherries, and apples! I have already baked a strawberry rhubarb pie from scratch and am excited about the many fruit possibilities! I adore being outside in all seasons. Farming has helped me appreciate working in all types of weather and teaching me to cook with the freshest ingredients. Right now I am currently (dying) waiting for tomato season. Some of my friends think I’m weird because I love heirloom tomatoes so much that I can eat them like apples. Most of the time when I buy cherry tomatoes at the farmers market, they do not make it home!

From above, I’m sure that you can tell I enjoy being outside, but that also includes hiking, camping, biking, and swimming. That being said, even though I do all these outside activities you can never find me without a book. I love reading fantasy and sci-fi. I am a part of 2 library systems within the city that I live in and usually have 10+ books checked out at a time. My to-read is ever growing, but I am always excited to get recommendations and to hear about what everyone else is reading! So far I have already read 51 books this year and I am hoping to reach my goal of 100 by the end of December.

I started sending postcards through post crossings, but my friend recommended this platform so I’d thought would give it a try! Some of my favorite postcards I have received are those with animals, (I learned about the Echidna from an Australian writer), flowers, landmarks, and cute stickers! Being a postcard writer has fed my obsession for being able to buy cute stickers! Now whenever I go into a store I am always on the lookout for cute ones!

I don't want to micromanage what people send to me, because the act of getting mail makes me happy, so I will include a general likes section below.

Likes: plants, sewing, painting, reading, quotes, nature, animals (turtles!!), tomatoes, flowers, herbs, cats, candles, books, libraries, quilts, my bed, and water.

I’m looking forward to swapping with you all! -Julia
