About Karen...
I am a computer engineering lecturer in North Cyprus.
The country is a de-facto state, and when you send a postcard to me it is sent via Turkey.
When I send a postcard to you it will have Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus stamps, and a TRNC postmark. (This could be a collector's item later, especially if there is reunification in Cyprus).
I am widowed with 2 teenage children.
I have always loved having pen pals when I was a child, and although I use computers a lot, I miss getting cards and letters in the post.
I love music, especially live music.
I am originally from Wales (UK), and lived in Manchester for 12 years too. I have been in Cyprus for 18 years. I lived in Luton once too.
I have traveled mainly in Europe, including some communist countries when they were still communist. Last year we went to Sweden for the first time, and Australia. This year we spent a lot of time in Wales, but also Bristol and Slough/Windsor, including Legoland.
When got my first postcard, I was so excited. A lovely card with Belgian Beer bottles :)
I don't want to say what type of postcards I want to receive, surprise me :) [no envelopes please]
Recently I have been inundated with requests for direct swaps. I can't satisfy all these requests, so I am now stating that I do not want to do direct swaps. Sorry.
