About Hotaru...

I love writing postcards and of course receiving them from all over the world!! I started collecting them when I was 12 and, no matter where my friends go for holidays: they already know I want them to send me a postcard! ^^ So, this website is my paradise!!
I do hope I can make my postcards collection bigger and bigger ^o^/

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Something about me:
I like to travel and visit different places, know different cultures, learn more and more!
I spend my time reading, studying and writing. But since I'm very curious, I'm interested in almost everything: art, history, literature, languages, food, religions, hi-tech, science, engineering, PC, music, sports, nature, fashion and design!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Any postcard will be very appreciated...! ♥
That's why I decided not to add any favourite on my wall: surprise me! And, if you can, write something about you or your life or about the postcard itself. I really enjoy reading your messages!
There's no need to put it in an envelope ^-^

If you don't know what to send, here there are some hints:
+ beautiful landscapes (countryside, seaside, mountains, lakes, winter, summer, spring or fall... EVERYTHING :D);
+ historical buildings (churches, castles, palaces,... anything typical and exotic from your own Country!);
+ everyday objects taken in artistic way: books, cups, food, fruits,...
+ Nouvelle Images;
+ Art Unlimited;
+ Inkognito;
+ "ILLUSTRATOREN ORGANISATION E.V." (www.io-home.org);
+ CORRESPONDANCES postcards, especially: MissTigri, Gaëlle BOISSONNARD, Camilla D’ERRICO, Marie CARDOUAT, Lakraa, McFAUL, Marie-Anne FOUCART, Willame VALERIE;
+ manga postcards, especially: Clamp works, Sailor Moon, Naruto, Trinity Blood, Minekura works, Kaori Yuki works, and more!

*o* Private swap *o*

Private swaps are welcome!!
Italian mail service increased the fee to send cards outside Europe (sadly now, it's double the price). At first, I was not very happy; but I like to swap postcards sooo much I thought "WTH!" :P
So, if you are interested in a private swap, just let me know: we can arrange for something!

You can find me on the official forum. I'm Hotaru there, too!
