Hoi, my name is Barbara and I live with Jeroen (hubby), Hobbes (cat) and Sneaky (snake) in 's-Hertogenbosch, famous for its beautiful cathedral Sint Jan, Jheronimus Bosch (the painter) and the Bossche Bol (yum!)

I collect dragons and I am very interested in everything that has to do with Japan and Asian culture.
I love to sing and draw, listen to music, watch movies and read books; and I enjoy my tea and chocolate during all those activities.

Maybe you can tell me something about your hobby/favourite activity/obsession; or tell me what's your favourite film that you'd really recommend me to see.
I'd like it if you can write me something in your language (with translation :D )
I like beautiful stamps and I don't mind an envelope if you prefer it that way.

Thanks for reading.
I can't wait for your card!

Groetjes (Greetings)
