This week’s spotlight interview comes from Bulgaria. dj_christina loves mailboxes and is an avid postcard collector, as you will see by her very neat albums! Here is what she had to say:
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I learned about Postcrossing from a friend on a travel website, called VirtualTourist. It’s common for people who love to travel to like sending and receiving postcards too. Especially when you don’t have the chance to travel often :)
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
I like everything mail related, not just the postcards, but also stamps, and I have a small collection of mail-related objects: such as an English mailbox magnet, Danish mailbox piggy bank; I also love travel and photography.
- Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!
-
I keep the postcards in files, I have two shelves of them. And another shelf of stamp albums :)
And here is how a typical Bulgarian mailbox looks like, it’s yellow:
And here’s a mailbox piggy bank:
- Show and tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.
-
It’s very hard to decide which one, I have dozens of favourite postcards!! But I chose this English mailbox one, which has matching stamps on the back! Did I mention I like mailboxes? :) And I like postcards with matching stamps, so this one is the perfect combination. It was sent to me by AllSerene (also on Postcrossing forum). It was very nice of her to read my preferences and send me the perfect postcard :)
- What are you passionate about?
-
I’m interested in politics but this is partly due to my work. I’m passionate about freedom and open-mindedness.
- What is your favourite part of the Postcrossing process?
-
Picking the card, choosing the stamps, oh, and checking my mailbox every day!

I love cards with mailbox, too!
Hi! Nice to meet you here :)
I was really happy to find out you had been interviewed for postcrossing because from my personal experience you are the "ideal" postcrosser (if there is such a definition), in selecting the card you know will make people happy, in providing the necessary information regarding your country and ... I could go on and on and on. We have been in contact since the first postcard you sent me and it is thanks to you and the cards you have sent me from Bulgaria that I will be visiting your country soon.
I herewith would like to thank you for being my friend and postcrossing for making it happen.
P.S. Marty looks really nice in the photo
