About Laurent...

Dear Postcrosser, I'm a POSTCARD collector, so only care about the front of the card subject (and do not at all for the back of the card writing - prefer the card left blank if sent in an envelope) When I send postcard, I'm sorry that I do NOT have time to write you a personal message at the back of the card (sending and registering 100 card a week already take me about 3 to 4 hours work weekly) but I will ALWAYS try my very best to send you a card theme that you like and with more than 5000 different you are in luck...

Hello from Sydney Australia, I hope you are well, if you can please send the postcard in an envelope so it's protected for travel (as the Australian post office damage many postcards)... if you live in Europe and can, please use the 2009 EUROPA stamp on my envelope or card (as I collect them).

Here is a list of subject postcards I would love to receive if you have some of them available:

My top preferences are:
Aircraft Carrier and Helicopter Carriers + Seaplane Carriers
Eagle, Frogs, Orca, Lighthouse, Library, Horses

But I'm also very much interested in (no particular order):

Gorilla / Orangutan / Elephant / Dingo / Koala / Turtle / Farm Goat / Snail / Donkey / Panda / Domestic Cat / Nobel Prize Winners / Scouts movement / Identified Stadium / Commonwealth Games postcard / Judo / Fencing / Rugby / Helicopter / Tramway / Concorde Aircraft / Warship / Submarine / Hovercraft / Cruise Ships / Identified Airports / Concorde Aircraft / Tramway / 3-D Postcard / Chess / Snooker-Billiard / Corrida / Tintin / Asterix / Smurf / Muppet Show -

I would also love to SWAP postcards and stamp with you, so if you are interested in this proposal, contact me direct at

Many thanks and I look forward to getting a nice card from you soon (Please note: I DO NOT like free/rack card, or hand-drawn cards, or wish card or Christmas card, sorry)

PS: as I have 7 postcrossing accounts (keeping me VERY busy, but I love it), you may happen to get sent my name and interest list more than once, and similarly it's very likely I might send you a card more than once, I send about 100-120 cards each week via Postcrossing (and get about the same number back).
6 of my accounts are currently in the TOP 50 postcrossing longest distance postcard sent (and between all my accounts I have sent more than 3500 card over the last 3 years to postcrossers around the world)!
I also SWAP and SALE more than 500 to 800 cards each weeks with collectors around the world from my website...
My main work is teaching peoples how to cook at my cooking school & Restaurant which are located in Sydney ( www.pics-sydney.com.au )
