Our second Postcrossing spotlight interviewed member is 64-year old Adrienne (adriennegarry) from New Zealand. She has been in Postcrossing for more than three years already and she loves the good things in life. Here's what Adrienne had to say:

How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?

My internet provider used to have a weekly bulletin with interesting web sites and I think it was November 2005 when they were talking about the Postcrossing site and thought I would try it out. Just the fact of real mail arriving in the box at the front gate is the best thing - not knowing what is coming from where was the best bit! Now it is all the friends I have made all over the world. The downside is I just had to buy a filing cabinet to store all my received cards and they don't all fit!!!

Do you have any other interesting hobbies?

Reading, cross-stitch embroidery, gardening, cooking, crosswords, but mainly travelling anywhere in the world. We just got back from Greece, Turkey, and Singapore and are off to Sydney, Australia in September. I am off to the South Island in three weeks to visit family. Planning on going to Tasmania with friends next year and back to Europe the following year. In the mean time I have to keep working at my real job in a local law office.

Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!

Show & tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.

I have so many spectacularly beautiful cards and this one is not "beautiful" but it makes me smile every time I see it and that is the most important thing any of us can do in our lives - share smiles.
