Please note: when I'm stamping my address onto each postcard, it doesn't mean that you have to send me a card back...it is only to minimize the amount of lost cards! ;-)

Dear postcrossers,

I am living in Berlin, Germany.
I am looking forward to your postcards - I love postcards!

I would like to receive a postcard from you - more than an envelope. (Of course it is no problem to use an envelope if the card requires one or if it is more comfortable for you!)

And I love beautiful stamps - stamps with an elephant are outstanding ;-)

I think some personal lines are at least as thrilling as the postcard's theme or motive.

But all this and the list below are only suggestions - feel free to send me what you want to send. I'm not too picky and I love every card coming from your heart. Thank you :-)

I have only one real dislike: Postcrossers who are unable to write a simple "thank you" when they are doing the registration of my card ;-) Postcrossing is about communication and if you don't like what I sent or wrote, please feel free to tell me about.

(Please notice: I have both on my favourite's wall: cards that I already got and cards that I have seen on other walls. So please check if I already am the "To"-profile)

Particularly I like:

- Eurovision
- scenic views of your city or country
- views on details
- elephants
- modern architecture.
- colourful postcards
- Kaj Stenvall's Ducks
- queer and LGBT related cards
- political and social issues
- men and athletes
- all kind of Rugby (players, teams)
- board games
- Gotochi cards (I already have one from Tochigi)
- Soviet era propaganda cards
- Fauna of Belarus
- US States' map cards
- Bear Paddington
- Greetings from... -> http://www.postallove.com/Postcards/Greetings-from (I already have the Czech Republic, Japan, Russia, Finland, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada and Moscow)
- The Finnish stamp with the Eurovision band PKN

I am librarian, so my interests are books, the movies, hiking and mountaineering and the Eurovision Song Contest as well as the Berlin Film Festival.
I am also blogging about these issues - if you understand German you might follow at

Dear postcrossers from the Czech Republic: I would love to get Pidifrk cards :-) Thank you! (already got: no 17, 46, 101, 109, 119, 124, 136, 141, 176, 184, 186, 253, 262, 283, 332, 342, 383, 389, 394, 405, 428, 469, 470, 500, 529, 571, 627)

Dear postcrosser from the United States of America: The heraldic animal of the Republicans in the United States is an elephant. If you have any postcard - it might be an election-ad-card or something else - with these Republican elephant, I'd really appreciate such a gift. Not for political reasons, but I am a elephant-collector :-) Thank you!
