About Douglas...

**If your USA postcard has a long white sticker on the front from the Post Office - Please remove it. It comes off VERY easily and when you scan the card we can see all of it.**

**Murphy's Law of Postcrossing: The bigger the card someone chooses to send you - the less he or she writes on it :)

**Ok, please stop listing your expired cards, first of all, we all have them and besides, the people that didn't receive your card will never know that they should have received it unless you contact them directly so why bother listing them? It seems like a waste of time to me...

Now for me:
Hello! I'm a teacher of English as a Second Language. My wife, Alena, is from the Czech Republic. I lived in London and the Czech Republic. I have travelled to many countries and would like to see many more before I am too old. I studied history and geography in university and I find the world to be endlessly fascinating.

I live in New Jersey, near the beach. I like reading books, especially short stories (W Somerset Maughm and Guy De Maupassant) and watching movies (old and new). I like to cook and eat as well. Food is one of the pleasures in life. My wife and I take yoga classes together at least once a week.

I believe in peace.

As for postcards:
-I love architecture, especially modern & contemporary design of all kinds.

-I prefer single-view postcards of where you live.

-Polar bears are cool too! (My user name is Czech for polar bear.)

-I'm really not sure why so many people say NO to ad cards. I like them, if they are interesting freecards/bumerangs/ad cards etc. Interesting means the design or image or message - NOT BORING! ;)

-Any Rio or Vancouver or Beijing Olympics Postcards out there??
-From CHINA - the Shanghai Worlds Fair cards too.

BUT - any postcard is ok :) except...

-I DO NOT like: night views, silly touristy cards (like wooden shoes from Holland) or kitschy cards that show cute kids, puppies, cats, flowers, or generic scenes that could be anywhere and nowhere. I've seen THE beach, THE mountain, THE tree, etc. :)

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M EASY TO PLEASE :)

*Please put the date on your card and write a message, more than hi - your English is fine! I'd like to hear about you, not just "happy postcrossing".

*NO ENVELOPES PLEASE

*SWAPS - I am interested in swaps only if you have cool & interesting cards and like to write on them. I am looking for quality not quantity. Check out my favorites - I will do my best to find cards you would like and I expect the same from a swapping partner.

THANK YOU and I'm looking forward to getting your card
