From joyful Brazil, meet Karina, a journalist from São Paulo who started collecting postcards after joining Postcrossing. Sounds familiar?

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

In 2005 I read in "O Estado de S. Paulo" newspaper about Postcrossing and I decided to try this new experience. I always liked to swap letters with my friends before the 'e-mails age' and I missed to receive mail with lots of things... So the Postcrossing project was great for me! I didn't collect postcards before Postcrossing but I already liked to buy them in my trips.

Do you have any other interesting hobbies?

My main hobby now is Postcrossing, but I'm also addicted to books. And I love french movies.

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.

This is one of my favourite and special postcards. I'll explain: I got married last year and I put this information in my official profile and in the forum too. So, many people sent me postcards with nice wishes and greetings. It's great and I was very very very happy :) People in Postcrossing have big hearts!
