About Mercar...

Hi everyone,
I am a 27-year old zoologist working and living in nations capital Tallinn.
I really love nature, especially animals. Mostly the animals who aren't considered cute by most people: AMPHIBIANS, spiders, insects, reptiles, rodents, owls etc. I have done 7 years of fieldwork with Estonian amphibians and I did my masters paper about Estonian newts.
I love nature photography, colour green, knitting, fantasy literature and Lily of the Valley flowers.

Postcards in order of preference:
1) I love cards with botanical or zoological illustrations (like detailed drawings in old books)
2) I love cards with WILD animal photos (e.g not pets, not animals with clothes on...)
3) I love cards with wildflowers
4) I love postcards with powerful mythological animals, hybrids and cryptids (e.g creatures like dragons, werewolves, basilisk, manticore, cerberus, drop bear, dryad...)
5) UNESCO World Heritage Sites are interesting, especially natural heritage sites!
6) I love postcards with NATURE landscapes from Your country / of (landscape with) old ruins, historic castles, beautiful old bridges, caves.
7) postcards depicting indigenous people with body-modifications (tribal scarring, tattoos, piercings etc)
8) gothic, dark, spooky postcards are fun too

When holidays are coming... I DON'T like traditional holiday greeting cards- just send me a animal / nature card and add an holiday greeting on a backside :)

I like real stamps if possible. Favorite topics: plants, animals and definitive stamps (like UK Machin series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin_series)

Hint to Finnish postcrossers- I LOVE Kaj Stenvall!

Feel free to write something about nature and wildlife in your country and / or something about yourself. Suggestions of good (fantasy) books are really welcomed.

* Please-please no AD cards (except nature conservation related), no sports related or Disney cards.

Thank you for reading this far!
Happy postcrossing!
