About Emily...

Hello! My name is Emily and I'm 23. I'm from Wisconsin in the Midwestern US but I wish I could travel everywhere.
I enjoy photography, poetry, nature, animals, music, hockey, and other places and cultures. I love to travel but often don't have the money - in my photo I am wearing the saree I got in India :)

I graduated college in 2011 with a degree in English literature and now I am working as a secretary, but my dream is to become successful as a writer! I like to write poetry. I also speak German and studied it for about 7 years. My family is of mainly German descent on both sides but I have distant Swedish relatives as well. Through marriages, I also have relatives of Armenian, Chinese, and Japanese-Hawaiian anscestry.

Cards I would especially like would be:

- unusual places, something "off the beaten path"
- pretty landscapes, northern/southern lights
- cityscapes, especially at night
- wildlife, especially rare or strange animals from your area(hint-Australia!) I also really like elephants, puffins, penguins, seahorses and wolves.
- coral reefs or other ocean scenes/aquatic animals
- historical photos
- interesting architecture - I really like Hundertwasser, East Asian, and Middle Eastern styles, or anything detailed or colorful and interesting to look at.
- cultural things from your country/area (traditional clothes, festivals, etc.)
- alphabets/language other than English (with translation if possible)
- illustrations/cartoons showing cities, landmarks, traditions, costume (examples in my favorites)
- brightly colored places/photos
- artistic photography
- Olympics
- paper lanterns and calligraphy
- Zodiac Dragon - its my birth year, and again in 2012!
- Indian culture - Holi and other festivals, painted elephants, monuments, art, religious sites (especially the Golden Temple!)
- Roma culture - dance, music, costume
- Norwegian band Kaizers Orchestra (I'm a big fan)
- Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Harry Potter, Pixar, or Disney, especially in other languages
- German comic Nichtlustig
- I am open to homemade/handmade cards! In fact, I would LOVE homemade art from children :)

I will really be happy with most anything though, so no worries :) but PLEASE no ads unless they are artistic or funny, and PLEASE write on the cards! Tell me about yourself, where you are from, or what's on the card. I would prefer no envelopes, unless it is neccessary.
If you don't know what to send, I usually enjoy the "tourist" type cards.
I also appreciate interesting stamps, stickers, or doodles if you don't know what to write.
