Hi! My name is Lauren, I am 29 years old and I'm from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I'm engaged to the love of my life, Paul - I love spending time with him! I work as a video editor at a TV station. I went to university for an English degree, and attended college for a diploma in Television Broadcasting.
I love to craft and create all sorts of things, including knitting, needlework, things made out of plastic Perler beads, 1" pinback buttons, things made from Japanese Chiyogami paper, and more.
I love video games, especially retro Nintendo games. My favorite games are Super Mario Bros. games, Pac-Man, Katamari Damacy, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Zelda, Kirby, and any older arcade games. I also love pinball.
I also love music - I play the piano and the guitar. I played the clarinet in my high school symphonic band.
I have been a vegetarian for my entire life and love cooking vegetarian cuisine and foods from around the world.
I also love to travel and hope to travel the world someday! I am learning how to speak Japanese and hope to travel to Japan someday.
I also love to do yoga, work out at the gym, and go for long walks. I love all animals, especially cats!

I love all sorts of things!
I love to collect postcards! My favorites include any card showing your hometown/city/country/area - any scenery, history, traditions, festivals, anything special about where you live! I prefer to receive a card from your home country, written and stamped from there.
I'd also love any kawaii cards from Japan, or any Nintendo-themed video game cards (especially those showing retro game characters).
I am interested in collecting map cards and flag cards from where you live! I would love to collect US state map cards and country map cards. If you have one from where you live that is missing from my list, that would be wonderful! Here are the ones that I currently have collected:
