About Michele...

I am a 26-year-old translator. My hobbies include: Europe (culture, art, society, politics, etc.), languages, travelling.
I know quite a lot of languages: I have a good knowledge of English, French, German, Spanish, Italian (my mother language!), Venetian dialect; moreover I know some Polish, Slovenian, Romanian, Czech, Serbocroatian, Finnish, Neo-Greek...
To read more about my travels, look at my Virtual Tourist pages (http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/14738/).

I like postcards showing:
- your town or city (views of churches, buildings, statues, etc.);
- your country (cities, region, nature, sea, lakes...);
- your culture: art, literature, folklore, society, local customs, dishes, etc.;
- flags and coats of arms;
- maps and geography-related stuff;
- local means of transport and transport infrastructures (trains, buses, metro, planes, roads, railways, bridges, etc.).
I also like postcards with a photo and a text with information about the location showed (please, sum it up if I don't know the language it is written in).

Please don't send me:
- postcards with abstract or fantasy subjects or with cartoons;
- postcards with text only, especially if it is written in a language I don't know and without a translation;
- Christmas/Easter/greetings postcards;
- self-made cards (I have had a bad experience with them. Self-printed postcards like the ones you get on MOO or Winkflash can be ok);
- free cards and ad-cards.
Any other postcard will be fine.

Since I collect stamps, it would be great if you put your postcard in an envelope, especially if you use a beautiful stamp. But this is not necessary.

Please, write something in your own language and alphabet, even if I don't know it (in this case a translation would be welcome), and remember the date and the ID.

Last but not least: I spend quite a lot of money to buy the postcards I send and I choose carefully the one I am going to send to every postcrosser based on their profile, so I would find it good if you did the same. You are welcome to look at my favourite and received cards. Thanks for caring about this.

I have another Postcrossing profile: altaknabo.

PS: You can add me to your friends on Facebook or on Interpals (mikebond), but please mention you are from Postcrossing.
