Hello there,

I'm Jana, South African born but living in The Netherlands. I am married. I am one of many siblings and we all live spread over the world. I've had penpals for many years now and this is a perfect new way of getting to know other people and cultures.
I have many interests which include:
- traveling (flags - "Flags of the World series" - I have CH, DE, NO and FI, maps, useful information, hot airballoons!!, "World Travel series", cards from Postcard Fair - I have Colorado and "Greetings from" US states - I have Minnesota & Arizona)
- Photography and cross-stitching :)
- sports
- animals (sheep, bunnies, cats and dogs are probably my favorites) but also love wild animals (the big cats, elephants, giraffes, so many!) --> I would love to receive more of the "Cat Box: 100 cards by 10 artists" cards. So far I've received two (check my wall).
- nature (flowers = definitely roses)
- food (I love fruit especially strawberries and pineapples)
- music
- and even arts (I love the work of Leonid Afremov!, illustrations by Alexey Dolotov) and architecture
- Tweety Bird.
- post-related (envelopes, stamps)
- Pokémon (I’m a big fan of the first 151 Kanto pokémon)
- Gotochi cards 😱
- Christmas (in December) - I love Christmas!

Three things that can absolutely brighten up my day are happy colors, cute things and love/hearts. And I just love quizzing!
I love typical touristy cards and cards that aren’t rectangular but they are not a must. I also love vintage-looking cards and some that are a little quirky. You can check out my Favorites for ideas. If you happen to have a card that is under my Favorites, I would really appreciate it but in the end anything you have at your disposal is fine with me.

If it’s not too much of a hassle, please write in short why you specifically chose that card for me (if it's not immedistely obvious) 😁

Thank you in advance for the postcard you will send me :) Looking forward to receiving it in the mail!

JB
