Hello,

A little bit about me: I am a housewife after finishing my degree in psychology. I fill up my time being unemployed with writing letters and postcards, doing yoga, and being with friends and family.

I will be happy with any postcard whether it is bought or handmade, large, square-I like them all. I don't mind cards that are from places that they are not sent from (like a card from the UK mailed out from Spain) if they fit my interests or if the sender has some connection to that place-even from a vacation or a place once lived. I'm open to ad cards:) I sometimes choose them over regular cards if they are funky, wild, unusual or artistically done. You can send me slightly damaged cards too- you know the ones you love but don't want to send due to a little rip.

I have too many interests to list so don't hesitate to send something that is not listed. I enjoy seeing nice stamps but it isn't why I postcross so use whatever you have that you like. I love reading the card as much as looking at the picture- if not more.

Winter holiday cards (from any tradition), even folded cards!
Musicians, bands, instruments
People dancing- ANY dance from ballet to breakdancing or traditional folk dancing.
