About Lynley...

Hello from Wellington, New Zealand's capital. It's a small city but a great place to live, especially if you're not too fussy about the weather. I joined postcrossing in 2011 and am loving it so far. I've been collecting map postcards for about 20 years but like other cards too.

I have been busy recently so I am not taking private swaps right now. I will turn swaps back on just as soon as I have caught up on things. You can also find me in the NZ card RR on the forum.

Postcard favourites:

** Any card you like enough to send will be very gratefully received!! ** I will be excited to receive any card. These comments are just for people who have the luxury of choosing from many postcards in their country and would like ideas.

If you're looking for ideas, have a look at my favourites from your country. I try to have favourites from many countries. Other things I am interested in are:

- Maps. I collect postcards with maps, including street maps and globes as well as country and state maps.
- scenery from your country
- pictures of typical street scenes or people doing ordinary things (eg cooking, farming)
- people baking bread in traditional ways
- buses, trams and interesting land transport
- anti racism, anti homophobia, LGBT, gay pride cards, other social issues cards (free ones are fine as long as they are postcards)
- engineering structures, like bridges, lighthouses, dikes
- volcanoes, desert
- aurora borealis
- interesting advertising postcards
- vintage reproductions, poster reproductions
- art, geometric patterns, designs or Islamic art
- alphabets or language characters
- interesting women, or women in art
- **anything** that helps a foreigner learn about where you live. Your choice!

I do prefer not to receive postcards with photos of cats, dogs, (unless they are working dogs) or people in swimsuits. Your card will reach New Zealand faster if you put an airmail sticker on it!

Please do put the date on your card and if you can, write a little something about you or the place you live in or what's on the card. I like to read a description of your house or apartment or what you can see from your window. I also really like hearing about your culture or political issues.

My received cards and some others from my map collection are here: (I haven't uploaded them all yet but I'm working on it): https://picasaweb.google.com/lyndlenz
