About Alisa...

Hi there!

I'm Alisa from Finland; 51 years old woman, mother of 2 grown-up kids. I live with my 3 cats in Vantaa, which is a neighbouring city of Finland's capital Helsinki.

Things that make me happy: my family & cats, nature, birds and other wild animals, books & reading, outdoor activities, sauna, friends, candles, red wine, chocolate, thunderstorms, sea & lake, countryside. But I love old cities like Rome, Athens, Lissabon..
And I dream of making a long journey in Australia & New Zealand.
I like many kinds of cards, but here are some of my favourites (not in the order of importance):

- Eagles, Blackbirds, Swans and other birds, Nature, WWF
- lightnings and thunderstorms, sea, water
- candles, lanterns, fountains, windmills
- windows, doors, curtains (moving with the wind?)
- tea- and coffeepots, Flowers, Gardens, Japanese gardens!
- castles, bridges, mountains
- Great Wall of China
- Nature and fauna of Australia & New Zealand
- Norwegian Fjords
- beautiful art (I prefer classical art)
- Cats and wild cats (cards of the black cats are rare?)
- Christmas cards (not religious) are wellcome anytime!

- Dear Scandiavian Postcrossers: I love the cards by Svein Solem, Johnnie Jacobsen, Kjell E. Midthun, Trygve Davidsen, Jan Bergerlind, Thure Wallner, Carl Larsson, Lars Carlsson. If you have a chance to send me a card of some of these artists, I am very thankful! (Or by some other local artist).
Marjolein Bastin and Rien Poortvliet belong to my favourites, too.

Cards made by Mauri Kunnas, Katri Kuusela, Minna Immonen or Inge Löök from Finland would make my day!

I appreciate if you check the cards I already have:

No multiview or AD-cards unless you have something astounding to offer. Thank you! :)

And you are also wellcome to check my wishlist:

** Please, send your card in an envelope (if it doesn't cause you any extra costs) because:
- the cards without an envelope are too often damaged in mail. I think there is a machine in some sorting center which leaves ugly marks on the surface of the cards, not always, but too often. What a pity!
- I collect stamps

I appreciate this a lot and thank you in advance!

Would be nice to read your written message.

Thank you very much for your postcard in advance!

Happy Postcrossing!

Alisa

PS. The cat in my avatar is Juuso; a big boy, weighing 7+ kilos, and it's muscles, not fat ;) He is one of my Norwegian Forest Cats. Mama's sweet boy!
