About Samantha...

I used to collect postcards when I was a child, then got away from it for many years until I discovered Postcrossing! Now I am addicted to collecting postcards of all kinds! I am very interested in learning about other countries/regions and cultures, so if you don't know what to write please tell me something about yourself and/or where you live. I would also appreciate it if you could write the date on the card.

I am very happy to receive any type of postcard, including standard tourist viewcards, but if you would like ideas for what to send, I especially am interested in:

* anything special to you about where you live
* national/state maps or flags
* nature/the outdoors/the environment
* anything related to history - people, places, buildings, etc
* animals, especially black cats and wolves
* plants, especially trees and herbs
* vintage/old or vintage reprint cards
* holidays (local/national/international) - feel free to send these any time of year!
* Marvel comics (including the films)
* Nouvelles Images, Jetoy or Moomins

A few special interests I have that may be difficult for most Postcrossers to send, but would really thrill me to receive cards:
* images of Ireland (especially Limerick, because I used to live there)
* UNESCO World Heritage sites
* Olympics (past or present), especially logos and mascots

I am currently working on getting my postcard collection online at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bandiaeireann/collections/ if you are interested in seeing what I already have. It's still incomplete though. :)

Happy Postcrossing!
