Riccy

About Ricarda...

Hi! I'm Riccy, I'm 25 years old and I live in Germany. Nice to meet you. :) In my main time, I study geology. In my free time, I draw, paint, play chess, read books, write poetry and short stories and play the piano. (Oh, and I meet friends - of course. ^^) I also love traveling, but unfortunately, I can't do that as often as I'd like to.

I'm interested in many things, so any card you choose to send me will be fine. I'll be glad to learn about your home, your culture and your hobbies. Anyway, the person behind the card is more interesting than the picture on the card. ;) So please write something nice, maybe even in your own language, with translation.

I prefer single views to multiviews and I like cards written and stamped if possible. (If you have special stamps, that would be a very nice extra.)

If you're still looking for clues as to what to send... I'll just list some things. However, if you have something you think I might like, and it's not on the list, please don't hesitate to send it. This is just supposed to be a little help, not an exclusive list of demands.

- wonders of nature (volcanoes, geysirs, caves, crystals, interesting rock formations, waterfalls, forests, weather phenomena, northern lights, the nature of your home country, ... Yes, I'm a bit of a geology nerd)
- astronomy
- natural science in general
- history of science (old technical devices, maps, star charts and the like)
- archaeology (if you happen to live near an archaeologically important site: please do send a card of it!)
- old buildings (castles, churches, temples, old streets, ...)
- UNESCO world heritage sites
- cultural things and events (festivals, exhibitions, trade fairs, libraries, theatres, museums, opera, ...)
- music (esp. folk, traditional)
- chess, go and other strategy games
- traditional things
- people in traditional clothes
- anything typical of your home
- art (I'm a hobby artist, so I'll appreciate any kind of art, preferably by a local artist. Or even yourself? If you're the kind of person who makes their own cards: please please pretty please send one of them! I LOVE handmade and self-prints!)
- something you are interested in (tell me!)

Dear postcrossers from...
Iceland: I'd be really interested in a card of your geysirs or volcanoes... I'm obsessed with icelandic geology.
Spain: Do you by chance have something connected to the Camino de Santiago? I was going that way some years ago, by bike.
countries rare on postcrossing, outside of Europe: viewcards of your main sights, traditions/culture or unique wonders of nature, please! This might be my only chance ever to get a glimpse of your place!
