Rakume

Hello there! I'm Sumu, a 28 years old artist/illustrator from Finland. I'm nonbinary and my preferred pronouns are they/them. I'm currently studying art and media in University and I hope to work in the game industry when I graduate.

I've been penpalling for some time now and that's how I discovered swapping. I'm still a little new to swap-bot but so far I've had so much fun!

Other than penpalling and swapping, my hobbies include playing videogames, knitting, watching tv series/anime and drawing. I'm a big animal lover and I have a family dog but he mainly lives with my parents. When I graduate my partner and I plan to finally get our own dog and I can't wait :D

My favorite colors are lavender purple and yellow

Check my instagram @penpalwithrakume if you want to know more!

I sometimes forget to mark sent on the day I post swaps (I blame my adhd) so if you see I've marked sent on a day after the deadline and you haven't received a message from me, then it has been sent before the deadline. I will always reach out to you if I'm sending late.

Also, please take into consideration that letter mail in my country isn't processed during the weekends which may result in a later stamping date.
