About cardmaster...

Hi!

My name is Sander, 36 years old, and I live in the beautiful city of Groningen, Netherlands. Groningen is a typical student city, with a young population, very dynamic and lively. Most people move around by bike, Groningen has been called 'bicycling capital of the world'!

Feel free to write anything you want. But if you want a suggestion: I love books and movies, so maybe you can recommend a book or movie that I should definitely read or see. If you would want to share a secret, that would be interesting too. Please do write something more than just 'Happy Postcrossing'.

Of course each card will be very much appreciated, but here are a few themes that I especially like (in random order):
- chess
- subway/metro/underground maps
- black-and-white photography (especially with people)
- movies (movie scenes, film posters, ad cards about movies are fine too)
- books and libraries, book covers, author portraits
- clouds, lightning, thunderstorms, tornado
- aurora borealis, northern light
- maps (city, region or country, USA state maps (I only have Montana, Florida and Michigan so far)
- psychology
- underwater photos
- the sea, waves
- strange, unusual, weird, bizarre cards
- x-ray images, medical scans
- beautiful women
- space theme (planets, NASA, earth pictures from space etc.)
- Great Wall of China
- logos from sports teams (soccer, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL), stadiums
- modern passenger airplanes (Boeing, Airbus etc., airports)
- city views from cities with beautiful skylines/views (like New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Istanbul etc.)
- Sidney Harris science cartoons (or something similar)
- artists that I like:
* M.C. Escher
* Jackson Pollock
* Heidi Wexelsen Goksoyr
* Edward Hopper
* Edvard Munch
* Yoshitomo Nara

You can check my favourites to get an idea which cards I really like a lot. My favourites are a mix of cards sent to me and cards sent to other postcrossers. Of course I would be very happy to receive one of these 'cards-sent-to-other-postcrossers'. And I really appreciate beautiful or unusual stamps!

Please don't send the card in an envelop, thank you. And please no ad, seasonal (christmas, new year) or religious cards. Ad cards that fit my preferred themes are welcome!

I usually register cards on the day that I receive them. If your card has been travelling for a long time, feel free to contact me.
