7/3/25 IMPORTANT NOTICE -
I am my mom's live-in aide. Long story short, she's on Section 8 because of her disabilities. The apartment we were living in had a number of repairs they were required to make to keep being paid by Section 8. They didn't, so we had to leave our home of 15 and a half years. We have been homeless since 7/1. In the rush of packing, a bunch of my swaps ended up in the motel instead of being mailed. I think everything has been mailed now, but I'm worried things might have ended up in storage. If you are missing anything from me, please let me know and I will make it right!

Please note that there is no "s" in my last name

Hi! I'm Karlota. I joined swap-bot to find more pen pals. I first started writing to pen pals when I was 15 and kept it up for many years. I stopped a few years back because my depression got really bad. I am now feeling better and want to get back to writing to people.

I'm in my 40s, single, with no children. I'm in the process of moving, but once I get settled, I will be applying to adopt from the Foster care system. I have always wanted children. I have two cats and a dog.

I just started a TikTok page where I post about swap-bot swaps, postcrossing, penpaling, and journaling. It's @ a_ girl_ and_ her_ hobbies (without the spaces.)

I am part of the LGBTQ+ community.
