Karoly is an Hungarian living in Serbia and is admittedly addicted to collecting. He is 59 and during his life he started collections of a lot of different items, but he admits that postcards are his favorite.
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I was just surfing the Internet and I found Postcrossing. It seemed to be very interesting and I gave it a try – I immediately got hooked!
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
Oh yes, a lot! I like nature walking, fishing, cycling, reading, visit museums, photography and, of course, collecting – and I collect everything! Some of the things I collect are: postcards, stamps, paper money, coins, beer/wine labels, books, pins, etc. My wife isn’t very happy about me collecting all this.
- Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!
-
On the photo below you can be see my mailbox in the background – that’s where I receive all my postcards. And in front is my daughter (she married last 10th of october!) and my granddaughter.
And below you can see part of my postcard collection – I have now about 10000 postcards.
- Show and tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.

They are all so beautiful! I love that they don’t bring just everyday pictures but rather uncommon sights – special ways of seeing the world! Here are some of my favourites:
