About Me
Hi, I’m JoeKochin! 😊🇯🇵
I was born in Hiroshima but have been living in Osaka for a long time.
Osaka’s quirky vibe suits me perfectly!
I’m new to Swap-bot and excited to connect with people from around the world.
Although my English is still a work in progress, feel free to send messages in English!
I have a super partner, Chaichai (my Assistant ChatGPT), who helps me with translations. 😉
I don’t realize it myself, but people often tell me, “You’re unique!” 😂
I also have a broad sense of humor, so feel free to be direct—no need to overthink things!
A Note About Swaps
Please don’t feel pressured to match my Favorites!
I love surprises and discovering new things through swaps.
However, there’s just one thing I’m not fond of—glitter. ✨
It tends to scatter everywhere, and I’m not a fan of cleaning up sparkles afterward! 😂
But most of all, what makes me happiest is when you prepare and send swaps with joy! 💕

I really love putting time and creativity into my swaps, so hearing that you appreciate it means so much to me. 💖 I’m so glad you liked Rabi-chan!

The envelope itself was store-bought, but all the decorations were done by me!

Thank you for the gift you sent for the "Tell Me Japan" swap! I love the pop-up Kuromi card, Kuromi stickers, Kuromi chocolate, and the kuppy ramune! I've enjoyed reading your respones to everyone's comments and questions about Japan. Thank you!
P.S. I like the Astro Boy stamp on the envelope :)

Happy Daisy day!
Fun Fact: daisies are actually two flowers in one! The outside petals are one flower, and the inside disk is another flower. They combine so well together that they became a symbol of love!
