About Shifrah...

Shalom from Israel!

I am 50 and live in North-Israel, close to the border of Lebanon. Geographically I live much closer to Damascus and Beirut than to Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv, but unfortunately I cannot cross the border and visit those places --->

My interests are swimming (daily), hiking, reading (Kindle!), history, archaeology, egyptology, desert and nature.
I am not really a postcard collector, but I love to receive mail and especially beautiful and interesting postcards.

MY WISH LIST (Not necessarily in this order and not to be taken too seriously! *****If you don't have anything from the list, I will be happy to receive a view postcard of your town or your country.*****):
